I've noticed that my MM has recently started recording a very short video clip each time I power up (approx 0.5sec long). The clip seems to be taken once a connection is established with the transmitter as it is always after powering on but before takeoff. It's only recently started doing this so may be associated with the last Fly app update. Anyone else have this issue?
 
No.
What stops the recording and what do the logs say about what the camera is doing?
 
The recording seems to start/stop automatically. I've not accidentally pressed any buttons to make it start or stop. I just get a very short vid clip when the drone is sitting on its launch site prior to takeoff.

Whereabouts in the logs is the info on what the camera is doing? txt or dat file?
 
I found some stuff in columns CV , CW, FI, FQ?, FT of the csv from CsvView of the txt log
I haven't actually gone through enough logs to see them all in use,
I am guessing
CV and CW are button presses on the controller
FI is whether or not it is recording
FQ is ??
FT whether or not it is recording an SRT of telemetry

Maybe it’s checking the surroundings to make sure it’s all good. Sounds like me when I wake up. Good thing? don’t know.
Might try a refresh on the new firmware. Just in case.
 
Seems this short video is only in the cache and not on the SD card?
