Experience
First, users need to download the app to your phone connected to the camera via the link on the box, then on SJ4000 WIFI enabled device to connect to the WiFi access point (name and password are available in screen recording Figure SJ4000). In addition to this application provides us with a larger screen live view, control dial from the phone screen capture, users can also customize the settings of parameters, such as the operation mode directly on the camera or playback, video from the memory card, the backup of the device memory.
About parameters fairly wide angle camera JS4000 to 170 degrees so it can gain more context and detail when filming. Unfortunately, since it’s a cheap model should only get Full HD filming at 30 frames / second, if you want to go to 60fps frame must be lowered to 720p HD resolution. High FPS, the smoother the video will produce, more realistic motion playback.
The main user interface is relatively friendly basic parameters are displayed like quality video / photo is selected, the remaining battery life, memory card capacity, date, anti-shake is turned on or recording or not. Allowing customize the machine parameters such as white balance, sharpness, color, ISO, sharpness, exposure quality photos / video, … However, fast interface settings when press navigate down to the beautiful and intuitive yet with full words, no specific annotation features.
JS4000 can also take pictures normal but somewhat unfortunately does not allow for optimum image retention more RAW image editing post-production. Quality photos from the unimpressive, rather blurred colors and details are not high. Fisheye lens SJ4000 due to the frame format obtained from relatively broad and somewhat distortion. Manufacturers also offer the option to help curb this situation through Distortion Correction option to “bending” the frame. In addition, there are more options to adjust FOV narrower angle by 3 levels Wide, Middle, Narrow angle corresponding to 166, 150 to 170 degrees, suitable for each different situation.
Regarding the quality of filming, I went almost to the maximum 30 fps Full HD quality and feel of the film to a passable level. If assessed, the video bit more picky with a layer of fog. Although the details of the formation, but the quality is still good definition color video out is not like the eye. The writer also praised the resistance to vibration of SJ4000, when mounted on a bicycle rather bumpy but still standard definition image captured, not torn when motion strong, sound relatively good record.
Also available 1 features of SJ4000 as a computer connected to the webcam, mode cam for car to cruise. Optimal design of the jaws and legs with adhesive to attach the appropriate specialized in the car.
Battery and duration of filming, 900mAh battery capacity on a similar model SJ4000 M20 but practical experience filming continuously after fully charged, the amount of time to reach 2 hours, more than M20 30 minutes. When pressed after shooting 1 minute screen turns itself off to save battery power. This is a really good result, praiseworthy for one device at cheap price segment.
