resolution,
image stabilization will be turned off automatically.
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 if you select 4K 25fps or 2.7K 30fps video
resolution.
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.
4. Diving Mode: Off/On
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. Loop Recording: Off/1min./3min./5min.

moments that you want. 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

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 cover
the old one if loop recording is on.
Note: Loop Recording is disabled when you select 4K 25fps or 2.7K 30fps video
resolution.
6. Time Lapse Video: 1S/3S/5S/10S/30S/60S
Default setting is 5S.
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: Time Lapse Video is disabled when you select 4K 25fps or 2.7K 30fps video
resolution. Image Stabilization and Loop Recording does not function when you
record time lapse video.
7. Date Stamp: Off/Date/Date&Time
Default setting is Date.
If you turn on Date Stamp, this camera adds date stamp to the photos and videos
you take.

time lapse video or image stabilization is on.

Default setting is 0.0.
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: 16MP/14MP/12MP/8MP/5MP/4MP
Default setting is 16MP.
