Video Settings
1. Resolution: 4K30fps/2.7K30fps/1080P90fps/1080P60fps/1080P30fps/
720P120fps/720P60fps/720P30fps
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.
2. Image Stabilization: OFF/ON
Default setting is off.
3. Gyroscope: OFF/ON
Default setting is off.
This setting adjusts the footage to offset motion during capture. The result is
smoother footage, especially in activities with relatively small but fast motion
including cycling, motorcycling, and handheld uses.
4. Video Encode: H.264/H.265
Default setting is H.264.
A video codec is an electronic circuit or software that compresses or decompresses
digital video. It converts uncompressed video to a compressed format or vice versa.
According to multiple studies, HEVC, High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) should
deliver up to 50% better compression than H.264 in video on demand (VOD)
applications, which means better quality at half the bit rate. In live encoding, which
obviously has to be performed in real time, the initial expectations are a 35%
bandwidth reduction at similar quality levels. Alternatively, HEVC can also enable
larger resolution movies, whether 2K or 4K. In addition, encoding existing SD and
HD content with HEVC rather than H.264 will add to cost savings and/or the ability
to stream higher quality video to lower bit rate connections.
5. Slow Motion: 1080P90fps/720P120fps
Default setting is 1080P90fps.
Slow motion is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down.
Note: If you want to record slow motion video, please turn off Image Stabilization first.

6. Still Photo: 4K30fps
Default setting is 4K30fps.
7. Still Photo Time: 3 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec
Default setting is 3 Sec.
In still photo mode, the camera takes a photo every 3 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec
automatically during video recording.
8. Time Lapse Interval: 0.2 Sec/0.3 Sec/0.5 Sec/1 Sec/2 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec/1 Min
Default setting is 0.5 Sec.
Time Lapse Video creates video from frames captured at specific intervals.
Time Lapse Video is captured without audio. Select 2 seconds means recording
2 seconds to get one frame per second. For example, if you select 4K30fps and
2 seconds, you need to record 60 seconds, then you can get 1 second video for
4K30fps.
9. Loop Recording Time: Off/3 Min/5 Min/7 Min
Default setting is off.
Loop recording allows your camera to overwrite old files with new files. Once the
microSD card becomes full, the camera will delete the first video file to make room
for the latest file. For example, if the setting for loop recording is “1 Minute”, then
the camera will create video clips of 1 minute in length, and a 1-minute clip will be
deleted when the camera needs more memory.
10. External Microphone: ON/OFF
Default setting is off.
11. Audio Record: ON/OFF
Default setting is ON.
Turn off Audio Record, the camera does not record sound when you record video.

12. Exposure Value: -2/-1.7/-1.5/-1.3/-1/-0.5/-0.3/0/+0.3/+0.5/+1/+1.3/+1.5/+1.7/+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.
13. ISO: Auto/100/200/400/800
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.
14. White Balance: Auto/Tungsten/Fluorescent/Daylight/Cloudy/Dawn
Default setting is Auto.
White Balance lets you adjust the color temperature of videos and photos to
optimize for cool or warm lighting conditions.
15. Meter: Center/Average/Spot
Default setting is Average.
In photography, the metering mode refers to the way in which a camera
determines exposure. Cameras generally allow the user to select between center,
average or spot metering modes. The different metering modes allow the user to
select the most appropriate one for use in a variety of lighting conditions.
16. Color: Natural/Black & White/Sepia
Default setting is Natural.

Default setting is 3 Sec.
A Self Timer gives a delay between pressing the shutter release and the shutter's
firing. It is most commonly used to let photographers to take a photo of themselves.
4. Time Lapse Photo: 3 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec/1 Min
Default setting is 3 Sec.
It captures a series of photos at specific intervals.
5. Burst Photo: 3shots/5shots/10shots
Default setting is 3shots/1s.
In burst mode, several photographs are captured in quick succession, so it is
perfect for capturing fast-moving activities.
6. Scene: Auto/Light Painting
Default setting is Auto.
7. Exposure Value: -2/-1.7/-1.5/-1.3/-1/-0.5/-0.3/0/+0.3/+0.5/+1/+1.3/+1.5/+1.7/+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
14

camera to prioritize when determining exposure. This setting is particularly useful
in shots where an important region might otherwise be over- or underexposed.
8. Exposure Time: Auto/2 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec
Default setting is Auto.
The exposure time, respectively period of exposure means the time span for
which the film of a traditional camera or a sensor of a modern digital camera is
actually exposed to the light so as to record a picture.
9. ISO: Auto/400/800/1600/3200
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.
10. White Balance: Auto/Tungsten/Fluorescent/Daylight/Cloudy/Dawn
Default setting is Auto.
White Balance lets you adjust the color temperature of videos and photos to
optimize for cool or warm lighting conditions.
11. Meter: Center/Average/Spot
Default setting is Average.
In photography, the metering mode refers to the way in which a camera
determines exposure. Cameras generally allow the user to select between center,
average or spot metering modes. The different metering modes allow the user to
select the most appropriate one for use in a variety of lighting conditions.

12. Sharpness: Strong/Normal/Soft
Default setting is Normal.
Sharpness controls the quality of details captured in your video footage or photos.
13. Color: Natural/Black & White/Sepia
Default setting is Natural.

Turn on Distortion Calibration, it can correct the image distortion.
3. Angle: 170°/140°/110°/70°
Default setting is 170°.
The angle refers to how much of the scene (measured in degrees) can be captured
through the camera lens. 170° angle captures the largest amount of the scene,
while 70° angle captures the least.
4. Diving Mode: ON/OFF
Default setting is OFF.
Turn on Diving Mode, it can compensate for the lack of red light in underwater
scenes. Diving Mode is designed to be used in tropical and blue water, optimized
for use between 10 and 80 feet.

5. WDR: ON/OFF
Default setting is OFF.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) retains a greater level of detail in the dark and bright
areas of an image. The result is a photo that is properly exposed for both of these
extremes. This setting is especially useful for scenes that are backlist or that have
large bright regions and a dark foreground.
6. Auto Power Off: Off/1 Min/3 Min/5 Min/10 Min
Default setting is OFF.
The camera will power off after a period of inactivity to save battery life.
