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.

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 memory 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

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.

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 20MP.

2. Output Format: JPEG/JPEG+DNG

Default setting is JPEG. DNG file extension refers to a raw Image format. The image data is uncompressed and kept in a lossless state. The camera does not support Distortion Calibration and DNG format at the resolution of 20MP.

3. Self-Timer: 1 Sec/3 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec

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.

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.

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

ENcamera 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.
