720P 240fps, 720P 120fps, 720P 60fps, 720P 30fps
Default setting is 4K 30fps.
Image stabilization is disabled when video resolution is set to 720P 30fps, 720P 60fps,
720P 120fps, 720P 240fps, or 1080P 120fps.
2. Image Stabilization: Off / On
Default setting is Off.
This setting adjusts the footage to offset for motion during capture. The result is
smoother footage, especially in activities with relatively small but fast motion
including cycling, motorcycling, and handheld uses.
Note: Image stabilization is disabled when video resolution is set to 720P 30fps,
720P 60fps, 720P 120fps, 720P 240fps, or 1080P 120fps.
3. Angle: Super Wide/Wide/Medium/Narrow
Default setting is Super Wide.
The angle refers to how much of the scene can be captured through the camera lens.
Wide angle captures the largest amount of the scene, while Narrow angle captures
the least.
Note: Angle and Image Stabilization can't used at the same time.
4. Diving Mode: Off/On
Default setting is Off.
Diving Mode can compensate for the lack of red light in underwater environments.
Diving Mode is designed to be used in tropical and blue water, optimized for use
between 10 and 80 feet.
5. Video Length: Off/2Min/3Min/5Min.
Default setting is off.
Using Loop Recording, you can continuously record but only save the moments you
want to keep. For example, if you select a 5-minute interval, only the previous 5 minutes
are saved when you press the Shutter button to stop recording.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR EK7000 PRO
EN

10
If you record for 5 minutes and do not press the Shutter button to stop recording
and save, the camera records a new 5-minute interval by recording over your
previous 5 minutes of footage. When the microSD card is full, the new files will write
over the old files if loop recording is on.
6. Time Lapse Interval: 0.5Sec, 1Sec, 2Sec, 5Sec, 10Sec, 30Sec, 60Sec
Default setting is 0.5Sec.
Time Lapse Video creates video from frames captured at specific intervals. This
option lets you capture a time lapse event and immediately view or share it as a
video. Time Lapse Video is captured without audio.
Note: Image Stabilization and Loop Recording are disabled when shooting a
time-lapse video.
7. Date Stamp: Off/On
Default setting is On.
If you turn on Date Stamp, this camera will add a date stamp to your videos and photos.
Note: This camera will not add a date stamp to your video when you shoot a time-lapse
video or image stabilization is enabled.
8. Exposure: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
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. When you
change this setting, the display immediately shows you the effect on your image.
If you change modes, the camera returns to using the entire scene to determine the
correct level of exposure.
9. Photo Resolution: 20M/16M/13M/8M
Default setting is 20M.

Default setting is Unlimited.
Time Lapse Photo captures a series of photos at specified intervals. Use this mode
to capture photos of any activity, then choose the best one later.
