Video Settings
1. Video Resolution
4K 60FPS, 4K 30FPS, 2.7K 30FPS, 1080P 120FPS, 1080P 60FPS, 1080P 30FPS, 720P
240FPS, 720P 120FPS, 720P 60FPS, 720P 30FPS (Default setting is 4K 30fps)
Note: You cannot select 4K 60FPS, 1080P 120FPS, 720P 240FPS or 720P 120FPS
when Image Stabilization is ON. When capturing video at high resolutions or highframe rates in warm ambient temperatures, the camera may become warm anduse more power.
2. Codec
H.264 H.265 (Default setting is H.264)
A video codec is an electronic circuit or software that compresses or decompresses
08

EN
digital video. It converts uncompressed video to a compressed format or vice versa.
According to multiple studies, HEVC, High Eﬃciency Video Coding (H.265) shoulddeliver 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 enablelarger 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.
Note: You cannot set Codec when camera is at 4K 60FPS video resolution.
3. Image Stabilization
ON/OFF (Default setting is oﬀ)
This setting adjusts the footage to oﬀset for motion during capture. The result issmoother footage, especially in activities with relatively small but fast motion including

ﬁle length, only the previous 5 minutes are saved when you press the Shutter button
to stop recording. If you record for 5 minutes and do not press the Shutter button
to stop recording and save, the camera records a new 5-minute interval by recording
over your previous 5 minutes of footage. When the microSD card is full, the newﬁles will cover the old one if loop recording is on.
Note: You cannot set Video File Length when camera is at 4K 60FPS video resolution.
5. Time Lapse Interval
OFF/0.5 Sec/1 Sec/3 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec/1 Min (Default setting is oﬀ)
Time Lapse Video creates video from frames captured at speciﬁc intervals. This
option lets you capture a time lapse event and immediately view or share it as avideo. Time Lapse Video is captured without audio. Select 3 seconds means
recording 3 seconds to get one frame per second.
For example: If you select 4K 30FPS and 3 seconds, you need to record 90 seconds,
then you can get 1 second video for 4K 30FPS.

this setting, the display immediately shows you the eﬀect on your image. If youchange modes, the camera returns to using the entire scene to determine thecorrect level of exposure.
5. ISO
Auto / 50 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 (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. When you
change this setting, the display immediately shows you the eﬀect on your image.

Maximizing Battery Life
A message appears on the touch display if the battery drops below 10%. If thebattery reaches 0% while recording, the camera saves the ﬁle and powers oﬀ.
To maximize battery life, follow these guidelines when possible:• Turn oﬀ Wireless Connections• Capture video at lower frame rates and resolutions• Use Screen Saver setting.

Battery Storage and Handling
The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery. Avoid exposing
your camera to very cold or very hot temperatures. Low or high temperature
conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the camera to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity
when using the camera, as condensation may form on or within the camera.
Do not dry the camera or battery with an external heat source such as a microwave
oven or hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact with liquid
inside the camera is not covered under the warranty.
Do not store your battery with metal objects, such as coins, keys or necklaces. If the18
