I've just received my new K5 camera and I found a new bug.
No matter what settings I make on the camera, the recording time of each of the front/rear cameras is a random time between 10 and 50 seconds.
Even if I put 4k or just 720p, it still doesn't record the full 5 minutes file.
Initially I thought it was a problem with my sd card, so I took it out and tried it on my computer.
it works very well, and it is very fast: Samsung Micro SDXC EVO Plus UHS-1
I've formatted in the camera as well, but no luck.
I've made a screen recording with the camera settings, and you can also see me browsing in the local files, and no file is bigger than one minute.

Why do you think it fails to record files bigger than one minute?
Is this a common issue?
What can I do to fix this?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay but I was in a loong trip around the balkans.
So the problem was the "gravity" sensor or in better English the crash detection feature that was using the accelerometer.
Disabling it made my camera work almost all the time.I say almost because it was very hot in Greece and after a certain temperature ( like 38°C ) the camera stopped working because of temperature overload)
I hope this info is helpful for others and I hope that this vibration is being taken into consideration by the development team in a future update in such a way that the camera will not stop working at the worst time possible.
Cheers.
I would almost start to think that the firmware is not running smoothly. Maybe reinstall. And also check the power supply voltages. Both the continuous 12V and the switched power supply (yellow wire).
Hi Radu,
is there a gap between the short videos or are they continuous? If there is a gap of around 10-15 seconds between the videos, this would indicate that the K5 has crashed and we would need to find out why.
Could you please explain how you connected the three wires of the power module?
Did you check that all connectors are well seated and tightend? Especially the connector of the rear cam is important, as a failed grounding can cause strange behaviours.
(I had to find out this the hard way here)
