normal speed during the playback. Slow Motion catches
details not visible to the naked eye, which is ideal for fast-
action shots. Note: audio will not be recorded when Slow
Motion is in use.
Timelapse Select from Hyperlapse and Timelapse. In this mode, the
camera turns long events into short videos by taking a
frame of video at set intervals.
Use Hyperlapse to record smooth timelapse videos when
the camera is in motion (such as in a car or when hand-
held). Use Timelapse to record timelapse videos when the
camera is mounted and still.
Three presets in Timelapse are designed for typical scenes
such as Crowds, Clouds, and Sunset. Users can also

videos.
