SJCAM SJ4000 Update Notes
Here are a few notes for those who are rocking an old SJCAM SJ4000 action cam. I was trying to update the firmware, but the camera refused to take it, no matter how I formatted the sdcard. For what it's worth, I'm using Linux. The trick is that the filename has to be in ALL CAPS. When you unzip the file from SJCAM, the extension is usually .bin. If you change it to .BIN, the camera will update.
Another note is that I wanted to replace my lens. This is a great guide to replacing it. It's actually very easy to swap it out. However, the real problem is that the replacement lens should have an infrared filter on it. If you don't have that filter, the colors will be all washed out, contain no greens. I'm still trying to source a replacement lens that works, but no luck so far.
