We asked Two years ago, we asked last year and asking this year:

Request Firmware update with:
Front screen enabled with Rear, On/off:
This request is  easy while using the rear screen we like to also have the front enabled, we do not want to hear


Rest assured we pass this on to our evaluation team, and please check  the official site  update

We like to hear:   We will be adding this feature in and will release it in April of 2022. allow our Team to create the request.

We  the  consumer thank you!

I cannot imagine there will be any further firmware updates with the original Action cam considering it was replaced by the Action 2 Camera.

As that has been set in stone   for  a good year plus.
