    I remember a function from my K3, where it automatically deleted files when the card was full, I can’t find that feature now, so do I remember wrong or ?

    and I would like to understand when and why some files end up in folders Accident and Protected?

    thanks

    To have recordings automatically deleted, set a loop duration. When the card is full, the oldest recording is automatically overwritten first. First in – first out principle.

    Recordings in the accident folder? This can be set using the G-sensor. The more sensitive the G-sensor is set, the sooner recordings are saved in the accident folder. So the more sensitive the K5 is to shocks, shaking and vibrations.

    Protected folder. If you briefly press the button on the remote control, the current recording will be placed in the protected file folder. The recording will then not be overwritten by the loop function.

      thanks Hans

      I tried the loop function, and got 35.000 short clips 😂 not at the bike now, so can’t see the interface, but as I remember its from 1 to 8 minutes interval 🤔

      the folder system is understood, and smart, but I was under the impression that the button was for taking still pictures 🤔

      thanks

        Hi Morten,

        depending on the loop settings and the size of the sd card, you will end up with a lot of videos before the K5 starts to overwrite the oldest videos. But that’s normal.

        The button can be used for both save recordings and take pictures.

        – one press ==> save video to protected folder

        – press twice ==> take picture

    I had mine set to 10 min loop. It recorded 10 minutes then stopped.. So I turned loop off until I have time to figure why it didn’t start up again.
