can you turn the camera back at youself for pictures while on your wrist?

The standard attachments I have only allow adjustments up/down left/right but that can be done with wrist anyway. Check w/GoPro only 360 pivot attachments.

If you want to turn the camera back at yourself while it is on the wrist strap mount, you would have to rotate the camera and wrist strap mount on your wrist so it is facing you and then go to settings on your camera and flip the camera shoot so it shoots upside down. This is a clumsy way to do it. You can also shoot yourself upside down and flip it in the GoPro editing program, which does have that option. This is less clumsy and will allow you to make the quick adjustment while video taping. The wrist mount housing itself does not allow for a quick flip back. But, like I said, you can rotate the whole strap and point the camera at yourself and shoot yourself upside-down and fix the image in editing.

No, the camera mount only allows the camera to face one direction. However, if you use the GoPro mounts to attach it facing another direction the forward (i.e. sideways), then you could simply turn your arm and take pictures of yourself.

Yes you can as the other comments covered the subject well. I have never checked but I think you need the camera operating to take a still photo?
1476957
Yes. You can even take still photos while you are videotaping. There's a photo button on top of the camera by the zoom.

You cannot. All you can do is half press the shutter button to force it to become ready for the next shot. There's no option to completely turn off the feature like the older Z cameras had.

I really don't know but suspect you can't. Not sure why you would always want the camera on since you would be loosing the middle third of your mirror. Normal operation is the camera is turned on when you are in reverse. Also remember, while this unit is worth what it costs, it is more difficult to see and use when in bright sunlight. Hope this helps.

Yes, there's an app you can download to control the camera and view as well. You can also edit start stop, etc from the app

I do not know, I look at as a feature to let you know the cameras on. I don't think that I would not want it to, since when I turn it on I want to take a picture in most cases.

Yes - you can turn it on or off. I love this camera. It has a view finder so that when it is a sunny day, you can see exactly what you are taking a photo of. I tend to hold the camera steadier when looking through the view finder too. I don't have to worry about the image stabilization feature as much.

can set it by just touching the control before taking the picture and after taking a photo can use it again when reviewing a photo you have taken. For example, I used the zoom while taking photos at Worlds End, PA and when reviewing photos used it again on a photo I was looking at and discovered that were 3 actual people in a creek that I had no idea were there when taking the photo.........felt like a real paparazzi!!

Yes you can. I have the camera & you can swivel the monitor screen front or back. I've not tried to 'shoot myself' but I use the swivel feature when the camera is behind me so I can look back at it to make sure the shot is centered where I want it.

Yes, you can turn the camera on and off using the BacPac, however, the BacPac must be on for this to work.

YES! It has that button you can put that allows you to take like 5 continuous pictures at a time...this helps for those little guys that like to move! I use it all the time for that!

No. There's a button you push and it flips out. Then you have to wait for it to charge. It isn't too long, but definitely inconvenient if you need to take a picture quickly.

There's a setting in the cameras menu that indicates if the shutter can be released remotely. I suppose if you have that option this device can activate it.

Yes! When back up camera connected and car on reverse, switch automatically.

ABSOLUTELY! Put the camera in total manual mode and make all your own settings. If you are going to do moon shots you should you the timer to release the shutter so you don't move the camera--alternative being to use remote control with the PlayMemories app.

I guess you could but the comment on top said the camera is on the back so it would be hard to do.
