    The look up page hasn't be updated with the newer serial numbers. That is Type C. Fortunately it doesn't matter, you can install the wrong version, then install the correct firmware, and it will fine.

    Only use 32GB cards, for better compatibility.

    Please confirm if Type C firmware works.

    CX is weird, but 1725 is likely Type C. Serial numbers type and Models: A2021 A J2021 A M2021 A P2021 A A2022 A M2023 B A2724 B E3124 B D2825 B (outlier) H2324 C K3124 C C1725 C H2825 D K2225 D

    There is nothing much useful for Type D units yet. Type D is H2825 and K2225 models.

    Please share the first 5 characters of your serial number. Like "H2825".

    The vignetting is there, but easier to see with histogram on the Type A-C models. You can compensate for it, if needed. I just recommended against as for hacked firmware (with better exposure logic) it can slightly reduce the quality.

    I did not use Ghidra all that much. From my memory there is an error message for when encoding is struggling with a high bit-rate, I use this to control the Qp. When I saw the warning, I increase the Qp 3 or 6, depending on the warning level. Set the Qp to 10, then using grainy film, that...

    We now have to get the bit-rate up on the Type D, as you have achieved more resolution, but too much is lost to compression.

    Unfortunately, the claims of the original product and the resolution written on the back, are misleading at best and a lie at worst. That low resolution number you're seeing is the actual pixels being used to produce the output. Any resolution you see in the MP4, is scaled up from this, no...

    Don't reduce the aperture, as it adds vignetting. If you got the focus correct it is not needed. Love the hood budge, like you have supped up the engine within (and you have in a way.) Can you share any before and after scans?

    Use a 32GB cards or smaller, or try formatting the card as FAT32. I think the large card support was broken.

    hist.c is up to date. I did have the flicker, which just means it need to be called form somewhere else.

    Before my unit died, expo_iso at 0x80e5590c was working for me. The display of ISO value changed correctly as light was controlled.
