Not Safe For Work
I have this problem with technical manuals in general, and the one that came with my new GoPro Hero2 is among the worst ever, maybe the very worst, in fact. I just can't make heads or tails of it, and I really don't have the patience to figure it out by trial and error. The book is really tiny and just leaves everything I want to know unsaid.
I posted a couple weeks ago with questions about mounting the thing and got some suggestions that were helpful--but none from anyone near here. I'm hoping there's somebody within an hour or two from Sac who would give me a tutorial on operating this damn thing. I'll come to you, naturally, or at least meet you for a ride if there's a ride between us you'd enjoy. The camera seems to be simplicity itself, with only two buttons to operate it, but at least so far, it just isn't intuitive at all and the "manual" is no help at all. (I also kind of hate that the tiny little LCD screen that shows the mode and menu choices is both so hard to see when you're looking straight at it, and so impossible to see from the saddle once the camera is mounted on the bike.)
So once again I open myself up to a beating for my lack of tech-savvy, but when I compared the pain of that prospect to the pain of continuing to beat my head against the wall figuring it out myself, I decided to let you have your say.
Maybe there's a website with a thorough guide to using the camera too, but I haven't had any luck finding that either. A link like that would be greatly appreciated too.
Anyway, somebody around here must have (and understand) this nifty little camera. I'd sure like to get a lesson. I'll even buy lunch.
