recording automatically after your desired
time of 1 Min/5 Min/10 Min/30 Min.
Time lapse
Time-lapse is a creative technique that
records footage at a very low frame
rate. Playing it back at a higher frame
rate shows a rapid change over time.
This technique is most eective when
recording scenes or objects which have
a slow state of change, e.g. a sunset or
a ower blossoming.
Interval-T-Lapse
Time lapse can be set to the following
intervals 1/3/5/10/30/60 seconds.
The following chart is useful for
determining the amount of time required
that results in 1minute of footage.
Resolution
Your action camera can be set to support
an array of resolutions and frame rates.
Normally, the higher the resolution, the
greater the detail and clarity of footage.
Higher frames-per-second (FPS) capture
more motion and appear smoother on
playback.
FOV
Field of view is how much of the
observable scene the camera can capture.

getting those high intensity, adrenaline
pumping, action shots and the sheye

around the edges. This FOV isn’t best
for everyday use.
Medium
In medium mode, the camera will only
capture what is in the very middle of
the sensor.
