VIDEO MODE OPTIONS
RESOLUTION › Changing to a higher resolution will have more detail in your video at the expense of file size. A lower resolution has a smaller filesize but will have less details in your video. Conversely, a higher resolution will contain more detail. Note:FPS (Frames Per Second) is part of the options in video resolution: The higher the FPS, the more images will be displayed per second, and the smoother the movement in the video is, at the expense of filesize.LOOP RECORDING › Auto-saves your video in small sections, depending on selected length. It will record over your oldest video once there is no more space on your memory card.FOV › Field Of View / Field Of Vision (also known as “Focal Length”) The higher the setting, the wider the angle of the recorded scene becomes.WDR › Automatically adjusts the range of brightness-to-darkness that the camera will record. When turned on, it will help balance your pictures by adjusting the contrasts. Many scenes do not require WDR to be activated, use according to your preference. GYRO SENSOR › Enables active video-stabilization to eliminate shake.AUDIO › Enable or disable recording of sound together with your video. VOLUME › Adjusts how sensitive your camera's microphone becomes. Settings for how soft or how loud sound is recorded with your video.TIME STAMP › When enabled, will display the date and time of your recording.VIDEO FILE FORMAT › Choose between .MOV or .MP4. If you are unsure which to use, choose MP4, as it is more commonly used.

BITRATE › Changes how much information is included in each frame of video. Higher bitrates give more definition to your video at the expense of filesize.DOUBLE FILE › While connected through the SJCAM mobile app, 2 copies of your recording/shots will be saved, one on the camera's MicroSD and one on your mobile phone's storage. PowerON Record › Recording starts immediately when the device is powered on.SHARPNESS › Changing the sharpness setting will make your images either crisper or smoother, adjust according to your preference.WHITE BALANCE › Adjusts the color temperature of the snapshot/recording to compensate for ambient lighting.COLOR › You are given 5 preset choices: Normal, B&W (Black and White), Retro (aka: “Sepia tone”), Warm (slight reddish hue), and Cool (slight bluish hue).EV › Exposure Value - Changing EV compensates for the amount of light that is allowed in. You can change this value to a lower setting if the scene is too bright, to compensate. Or higher, if it is too dark, but still depends on your desired effect. A higher EV will take longer for a photo to be taken, and will add blur to videos as each frame takes longer to expose.DISTORTION CORRECTION › Since the lens of your action camera has a very wide FOV (Field of View), your camera will try to fit everything in, and will result in the center appearing to be distorted or bulging.
