Customizing Your Brave 4 Elite
Photo Settings
1. Resolution
20MP/16MP/14MP/10MP/8MP/5MP/2MP (Default setting is 20MP.)
This camera is capable of capturing 20MP photos, with higher resolution oﬀering
greater clarity and detail due to the increased number of pixels. However, higher
resolution photo also results in larger ﬁle sizes.
2. Output Format
JPEG/JPEG+DNG (Default setting is JPEG.)
This setting allows you to choose the image format you want.
3. ISO
Auto/100/200/400/600/800/1600/3200 (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 graininessin 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.
4. EV-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 (Default setting is 0.)
Sets the exposure value. The larger the number, the larger the brightness. 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.
5. Burst PhotoOﬀ/3 shots/7 shots/15 shots/30 shots (Default setting is Oﬀ.)
This option allows you to set the number of photos to be taken in Burst Photo mode,
making it perfect for capturing fast-moving activities.

the set interval.
Heads up:Timelapse Interval works in Time-lapse Photo mode only. It will not show in thesettings menu when other modes are enabled.
7. Timelapse Duration
Unlimited/5 Min/10 Min/15 Min/20 Min/30 Min/60 Min (Default setting is Unlimited.)
This option works with Timelapse Interval, giving you the ability to specify thedesired duration of your timelapse photo.
Heads up:Timelapse Duration works in Time-lapse Photo mode only. It will not show in thesettingsmenu when other modes are enabled.
8. Self-Timer
2s/10s (Default setting is 2s.)
A self-timer provides a delay between pressing the shutter release and the ﬁringof the shutter. It is commonly used to take selﬁes without physically pressing the
button.
Heads up:
Self-timer works in Self-Timer mode only. It will not show in the settings menu whenother modes are enabled.
9. Long ExposureOﬀ/1 Second/2 Seconds/5 Seconds/8 Seconds/30 Seconds/60 Seconds (Default
setting is Oﬀ.)
This option helps you set the exposure time in Long exposure mode. The camera
will take photos until the set time comes to an end.
Heads up:Long Exposure works in Long Exposure mode only. It will not show in the settings
menu when other modes are enabled.
17

EN
10. Metering
Center/Multi/Spot (Default setting is Multi.)
Metering in photography refers to the process of measuring the amount and intensityof light in a scene, which helps determine the correct exposure settings for capturing
the photo. Using the appropriate metering mode can help ensure that your photos
are well-exposed and have the proper balance of shadows and highlights.
11. Sharpness
High/Middle/Low (Default setting is Middle.)
Adjusts the sharpness of the objects in your scene, which is crucial for capturing
the ﬁne details and enhancing the overall quality of your photos or videos.

according to your local time.
13. Fill Light
Oﬀ/On/Auto (Default setting is Oﬀ.)
When Fill Light is enabled, the camera excels at capturing clear videos in low light
conditions, making it ideal for such scenes. However, we recommend turning oﬀ
Fill Light when it is not necessary.

Video Settings
1. Video Resolution
4K60 FPS/4K 30FPS/2.7K 60FPS/2.7K 30FPS/1080P 120FPS/1080P 60FPS/1080P
30FPS/720P 240FPS /720P 120FPS/720P 60FPS (Default setting is 4K60FPS)
This camera is capable of recording video up to 4K30FPS, with higher resolution
oﬀering greater clarity and detail due to the increased number of pixels. However,higher resolution video also results in larger ﬁle sizes.
Heads up:
1. Capturing high-resolution or high-fps videos in low-temperature scenes canconsume more power.
2. 30FPS is not available in Slow Motion mode.
18

EN

for smooth videos. This feature is suitable for use in riding, skiing, and handheld
scenes. But when this option is enabled, the shooting angle will be narrowed.
Heads up:
1. Image Stabilization won’t work together with Distortion Correction, which means
Image Stabilization will be disabled when Distortion Correction is enabled, andvice versa.
2. Image Stabilization will be disabled when you set the resolution to 1080P/120FPS,
720P/240FPS, 720P/120FPS.
4. Loop Record
1 Min/2 Min/3 Min (Default setting 1 Min.)
Loop Record allows you to set the shooting time of each video. When Loop Record
mode is enabled, old ﬁles will be overwritten by new ones. Once the memory becomes
full, the camera will delete the ﬁrst video ﬁle to make room for the new ﬁle. For
example, if you set Loop Record to "1 Minute", the camera will create a 1-minutevideo, and this video will be deleted when the camera needs more memory.
Heads up:This feature works in Loop Record mode only. It will not show in the settings menu
when other modes are enabled.
5. Timelapse Interval
1 Sec/3 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec/1 Min (Default setting is 1 Sec.)This option enables you to specify the frequency at which the video frames arecaptured and compiled. The camera will capture series of videos at the set interval.
Heads up:
