video clips of 1 minute in length, and a 1-minute clip will be deleted when the camera
needs more memory.

1080P30FPS/720P120FPS/720P60FPS
Default setting is 4K30FPS.
Note: When capturing video at high resolutions or high frame rates in warm ambient
temperatures, the camera may become warm and use more power.

This setting adjusts the footage to offset for motion during capturing. The result is
smoother footage, especially in activities with relatively small but fast motion like cycling,
motorcycling, and handheld uses.
4. Video Encode: H.264/H.265
Default setting is H.264.
Video encode is basically a process of converting a given video input into a digital format
that is compatible with most types of Web players and mobile devices.
5. Angle: Wide/Medium/Narrow
Default setting is Wide.
The angle refers to how much of the scene (measured in degrees) can be captured
through the camera lens. Wide angle captures the largest amount of the scene, while

8. Exposure: +2/+1.5/+1/+0.5/0/-0.5/-1/-1.5/-2
Default setting is 0.
By default, your camera uses the entire image to determine the appropriate exposure
level. However, exposure lets you select an area that you want the camera to prioritize
when determining exposure. This setting is particularly useful in shots where an important
region might otherwise be over- or underexposed.
9. White Balance: Auto/Daylight/Cloudy/Tungsten/Fluorescent
Default setting is Auto.
White Balance lets you adjust the color temperature of videos and photos to optimize for
cool or warm lighting conditions.

Default setting is 3 Photos.
2. Resolution: 20MP/16MP/12MP/8MP
Default setting is 20MP.
3. Shutter Interval: Auto/1 Sec/2 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/ 20 Sec/30 Sec
Default setting is Auto.
Shutter Interval allows you to take photos with a delay of time.
4. Angle: Wide/Medium/Narrow
Default setting is Wide.
The angle refers to how much of the scene (measured in degrees) can be captured
through the camera lens. Wide angle captures the largest amount of the scene,
while Narrow angle captures the least.
5. Distortion Calibration: On/Off
Default setting is On.
6. Exposure: +2/+1.5/+1/+0.5/0/-0.5/-1/-1.5/-2
Default setting is 0.
By default, your camera uses the entire image to determine the appropriate exposure
level. However, exposure lets you select an area that you want the camera to prioritize
when determining exposure. This setting is particularly useful in shots where an important
region might otherwise be over- or underexposed.
7. ISO: Auto/100/200/400/800/1600
Default setting is Auto.
ISO determines the camera’s sensitivity to light, and creates a trade-off between
brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of graininess in the
image. In low light, higher ISO values result in brighter images, but with greater image
noise. Lower values result in lower image noise, but darker images.
8. White Balance: Auto/Daylight/Cloudy/Tungsten/Fluorescent
Default setting is Auto.

cool or warm lighting conditions.
