If you read my recent review of the Contour HD 1080p, you’ll know that one of the issues with the camera is that it’s not very flexible, configuration-wise. You could choose a couple different resolutions and frame rates, but that was all. Well, no longer! This firmware update allows you to change the exposure value, bitrate, and a few other things that will come in handy.
The ability to lower microphone volume is nice, since wind noise is a huge issue at speed without a muffler. You can also change the focus mode, though if you’re bumping around a lot it probably won’t make much difference. This makes a good camera better.
Check out the update here; you’ll need a blank MicroSD card to install it. As of this writing, the page says it’s not for the 1080p model; you might just wait until the page switches over, in case the download link gets updated as well. Wouldn’t want to brick your camera.
