    Contour ROAM2 exposure setting?

    I had a Contour HD 1080p for 3 years but lost it last year. Replaced it halfway through the season with a ROAM2. The specs are basically the same. With the old camera, there were settings for exposure and contrast that you could control from the Storyteller software with the camera plugged in. Now, there is just a white balance adjustment that doesn't help much with exposure or contrast. I emailed Contour about this and the responder misunderstood me and wrote back that I shouldn't use the white balance to try to adjust the exposure, I should actually adjust the exposure. She gave me no directions for how to do so, and the company went out of business the next f'ing day. The screenshot below shows the adjustment interface, where the exposure and contrast sliders used to be. Anyone know how to fix this? The camera completely sucks on either pure sun or pure storm days because of it.

    Thank god. I really didn't want to look like a teletubbie when my Contour eventually dies.

    I have the ROAM2 and found that the auto white balance setting works pretty well in both bright sun and on storm days.

    Why I refuse a GoPro.

    The amount of Go Pros on the mtn these days is staggering. I see them everywhere, everyday no matter if the conditions are good or if it is rock hard....."is the light on?, no..is the red light on?,, is it on....yeah the red light, is it on?...how about now?...good, ok"

    I'd end up with a tree branch ripping one of those off my helmet in about 5 min.
