Long time lurker, new poster. This is what the internet is for!
Just bought an old E40. My unit has a strange feature, which I've not seen mentioned in any other post. I wonder if anyone has seen this before or has any comments?
If I bring up the unit's 'hidden menu' (' settings/i ' selected, then hold right arrow), amongst the pages is a 'Resource browser' entry...
Clicking on that brings up a GUI, where you can navigate, and drill down to, various settings/options. If the setting has a numerical value, you are offered a spinning wheel of possible values, and if a text value, you are offered a keyboard. You can edit the value, but the change does not persist when you return out of the wheel/keyboard... UNLESS... If you click on the pink locked box image, a gallery of faces is presented. The changed value will persist* if I choose it while a face is shown. There are a few faces, all of whom have their eyes disguised. Painting with a very broad brush, I would not be the most shocked in the world if, judging by their appearance, these are the faces of software devs.
(* It appears that sometimes a value will only save with a particular face, occasionally not at all.)
The changed values persist over a cold boot and can easily bugger up the unit (don't ask).
I've only had the unit a short time, so to date, I've only upped the I/R resolution and lost the noise, by the usual method of changing conf.cfg, and also put my contact details on the boot up logo. For info, my unit records I/R video, streams whatever is being displayed on the screen to FLIR Tools on WiFi (stream or signal on USB), and has the service menu.
