Customizing Your Brave 6 Plus
Video Settings
1. Resolution
4K 30fps, 2.7K 60fps, 2.7K 30fps, 1080P 120fps, 1080P 60fps, 1080P 30fps, 720P
240fps, 720P 120fps, 720P 60fps (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: Capturing high-resolution or high-fps videos in low-temperature scenes can
consume more power.
2. Image Stabilization
Off/On (Default setting: Off)
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) 2.0 effectively reduces the effect of the camera
shakes, allowing for smooth videos. This feature is suitable for use in riding, skiing,
and handheld scenes.
Note: Image stabilization will be disabled when the video resolution is set to
1080P120fps, 720P240fps, and 720P120fps. It will also be disabled when Loop
Recording Time, Time Lapse Interval, Still Photo Time, Distortion Calibration, and
Slow Motion are enabled.
3. Loop Recording Time
1Min/3Min/5Min/10Min (Default setting: 1Min)
This option allows you to set the length of videos captured in Loop Recording
mode. For instance, if you set Loop Recording to "3Min", the camera will save
videos every 3 minutes. When the memory is full, new video files will overwrite the
old ones to ensure continuous recording.
Note: Loop Recording Time works in Loop Record mode only.

4. Time Lapse Interval
1Sec/3Sec/5Sec /10Sec /30Sec/1Min (Default setting: 1Sec)
This option enables you to specify the frequency at which the video frames are
captured and compiled. The camera will capture series of videos at the set
interval, making it ideal for taking photos in dynamic or changing scenes, such as
clouds, stars, sunsets, and more.
Note: Time lapse video is recorded without audio. Time Lapse Interval works in
Timelapse Video mode only.
5. Slow Motion
2.7K 2X, 1080P 4X, 1080P 2X, 720P 8X, 720P 4X, 720P 2X (Default setting: 2.7K 2X)
You can choose the resolution and zoom level before you create slow motion
movies. When Slow Motion is enabled, the camera can record video at a higher
frame rate and then plays it back at a lower speed, typically 30 frames per second.
Note: Slow Motion works in Slow Motion mode only. It will not show in the
settings menu when other modes are enabled.
6. Still Photo Time
3Sec/5Sec/10Sec /30Sec (Default setting: 3 Sec)
This option enables you to specify the frequency at which the photo is captured
during video recording.

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.
The camera will display changes in the image the instant you change the setting. It
will resume using the entire image to determine the appropriate exposure level if
you switch modes.

JPEG/JPEG+DNG (Default setting: JPEG)
Output Format decides the photo’s output formats including JPEG and JPEG+DNG.
DNG stands for Digital Negative, a lossless raw image format that preserves image
data without compression or loss. Choosing DNG results in larger photo file sizes,
but ensures superior image quality and protection against data loss.
Note: Output Format will be disabled when the camera is in Burst Photo mode.

entire image to determine the appropriate exposure level if you switch modes.
8. ISO
Auto/100/200/400 /600/800/1600/3200 (Default setting: 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.
