Hi all,

Even though I have already switched to iPhone for other reasons, I plan to make use of my 64GB 1020 as Action Cam, I am using the Tripod bundle with 1020 and mount to my racing bike. Any general tips on...

1. Which program to take FullHD video recording? I plan to use static/manual focus (same as normal Action Cam)

2. Is there a way to turn off the screen to save battery while recording the video?

3. I already have an Garmin so I dont need really bike computer, but if you have other tips to make better use of the Lumia, feel free to share.

Cheers.

I haven't seen any apps for video recording. The default lumia camera performs well enough. MS camera app too on windows 10

thanks, is there a way to turn off the screen?

not that I know off. I know you can turn off screen when doing a timelapse using proshot but nothing for video. I even tried to see if the screen goes off while recording but nothing
