It turns out that some SJ8 Pro users were trying to download the latest firmware version for months. We learned this from the forums and comments on our blog.

We just got our hands on the SJ8pro action camera firmware upgrade and changelog. Please let us know if you find any bugs or have any features requests.

SJCAM SJ8 Pro Firmware Download

Follow these steps to install the new firmware v1.3.2:

1. Use the same Class 10 or higher MicroSD card you use in your SJ8 PRO (U3 recommended):

2. Download the attached file below and extract the contents from the zipped file to your computer.

3. Copy the firmware files to your MicroSD card, and make sure you have at least 50% power on your camera’s battery.

4. Insert the card into the camera.

5. Turn the camera on, and the installation process will begin.

You don’t need to do anything, a message will show next that the camera is checking the firmware files and proceed.

Once done, the camera will soon restart into the new firmware.

The firmware files will automatically be deleted from the card, and you may use your camera immediately.

You may verify that the new firmware is installed by going to General Settings > Version

SJCAM SJ10 Pro RAW DNG Converter - SJ8 SJ9 SJ10pro RAW Photo tool

-
Image
  We just go our hands on the RAW DNG file converter for the SJ8, Sj9, SJ10 pro action cameras. We didn't receive any English instructions on how to convert so hopefully, we will get to writing the converter tool instructions. Why do people like to use RAW file converters? RAW means that the photos are unfiltered, unaltered and the true original RAW form. This sort of tool is useful for film producers and photographers. If you aren't using your camera for professional purposes, you probably can get awsome enough photos by just adjusting the camera settings properly.  We'll upload the download link for the SJ10 Converter tool. DOWNLOAD CONVERTER Let us know how your RAW photos turn out!
