18082009 - Test vid
Doing much the same as in the panorama but wandering around a bit and babbling on to test the general video quality (this is at "TV, standard" mode, so it can go one tick higher if needed), audio, zoom, and what happens when it geotags - does it do the start, the end, an average, or something else?
(Answer: It tags it at the end, it would seem. But I've since found the variability inherent in the GPS signal to be enough to make the result doubtful; I'd be better testing this again on a quarter mile stretch of road - starting the vid, doing a quick drag, and stopping it at the end ~20s later. The drift tends to be on the order of one or two metres typically, to maybe 10-15m at the extreme, so further than I walked but a lot less than 1/4mi. The baffling thing is how it manages to be quite accurate about your speed and direction while you're moving (steady speed in car = steady speed on display, and it normally even gets you in the correct lane if you view the trace on an aerial photo map), even though when you sit still it things you're jigging about on the spot rather vigorously!)
