2. Video Settings
(1) Video Resolution:
4K30fps/2.7K30fps/1080P120fps/1080P60fps/1080P30fps/720P240fps/720P120fps
/720P60fps/720P 30fps (Default setting: 4K 30fps)
This camera is capable of recording video up to 4K30fps, with higher resolution
offering greater clarity and detail due to the increased number of pixels. However,
higher resolution video also results in larger file sizes.
Note:
① 4K30, 2.7K30, 1080P120, 1080P30, 720P240, and 720P30 are not available in
Slow Motion mode.
② Capturing high-resolution or high-fps videos in low-temperature scenes can
consume more power.

Shutter button. To stop recording, simply press the Shutter button again.
• Slow Motion: 2.7K 2X, 1080P 2X, 720P 4X, 720P 2X

where the camera records video at a higher frame rate and then plays it back at a
lower speed, typically 30 frames per second, resulting in a smoother and more
dramatic effect.
Note: 4K30, 2.7K30, 1080P120, 1080P30, 720P240, and 720P30 are not available
in Slow Motion mode.
• Loop Video: 2Min, 3Min, 5Min (Default setting: 2Min)
