CUSTOMIZING YOUR V50 PRO

Video Setting

1. Video Resolution: 4K 30fps, 2.7K 30fps, 1080P 60fps, 720P 120fps
   The default setting is 4K 30fps.
   Note: You cannot select 720P 120fps when Image Stabilization is ON.
   When capturing video at high resolutions or high frame rates in warm ambient temperatures, the camera may become warm and use more power.

2. Codec: 264/H.265
   The 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.

3. Image Stabilization: On/Off
   The default setting is off.
   This setting adjusts the footage to set for 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 File Length: Unlimited/1 Min/3 Min/5 Min
   The default setting is Unlimited.
   Set up Video File Length (Loop Recording), you can continuously record video, but save only the moments that you want. For example, if you select a 5-minute video 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 new files will cover the old one if the loop recording is on.

5. Time Lapse Interval: Off/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 a video. Time Lapse Video is captured without audio.
   Selecting 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 a 1-second video for 4K 30FPS.

6. Time Lapse Duration: Unlimited/5 Min/10 Min/15 Min/20 Min/30 Min/60 Min Default setting is Unlimited.
   Note: If you want to set Time Lapse Duration, please turn on Time Lapse Interval first.

7. Slow Motion Movie: On/Off
   The default setting is off.
   Slow motion is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down. Note: If you want to select Slow Motion Movie, please turn on Image Stabilization first, then choose 720P 120fps under Video Resolution.

8. Fast Motion Movie: Off/2x/4x/6x/10x/15x
   Default setting is off.
   Action that appears to move faster than normal on the screen, is accomplished by filming the action at less than normal speed in the camera and then projecting it at normal speed.

9. Wind Noise Reduction: On/Off
   Default setting is off.
   Turn on Wind Noise Reduction, it can lower the noise to an acceptable level.

10. Scene Mode: Manual/Water/Riding/Winter/Diving/Night
    Default setting is Manual.

11. Date Stamp: Off/Date/Date & Time
    Default setting is Date & Time.
    If you select Date & Time, this camera adds a date stamp to the videos you take.

12. Auto Low Light: On/Off
    Default setting is Off.
    Auto Low Light mode will automatically adjust settings according to lighting conditions to achieve the best low-light performance. Even if you move back and forth between bright and dark environments, you do not need to manually adjust the camera settings.

Photo Setting

1. Resolution: 20MP/16MP/14MP/10MP/8MP/5MP/2MP Default setting is 14MP.

2. Time Lapse Interval: Off/3 Sec/5 Sec/10 Sec/30 Sec/1 Min
   The default setting is off.
   Time Lapse Photo captures a series of photos at specified intervals. Use this mode to capture photos of any activity, then choose the best ones later.

3. Time Lapse Duration: Unlimited/5 Min/10 Min/15 Min/20 Min/30 Min/60 Min Default setting is Unlimited.
   Note: If you want to set Time Lapse Duration, please turn on Time Lapse Interval first.

4. Photo Burst: Off, 3 shots/1s, 7 shots/2s, 15 shots/4s, 30 shots/8s
   The default setting is off.
   Burst captures up to 30 photos in 8 seconds, so it is perfect for capturing fast-moving activities.

5. Delay Timer: Off/Delay 2s/Delay 10s
   The default setting is off.
   A Delay 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 (often with family).

6. Date Stamp: Off/Date/Date & Time
   The default setting is Date & Time.

   The default setting is S-Fine.

9. Long Exposure: Off/1 Second/2 Second/5 Second/8 Second/30 Second/60 Second Default setting is off.
   Long exposures are easiest to accomplish in low-light conditions but can be done in brighter light using neutral density filters or specially designed cameras.

Effect Setting

1. AE Meter: Center/Average/Spot
   The default setting is Center.
   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. The different metering modes allow the user to select the most appropriate one for use in a variety of lighting conditions.

2. FILTER: Off/Black&White/Sepia/Vivid/Natural/Negative/Warm/Cool/Red/Green/Blue Default setting is None.

3. White Balance: Auto/Daylight/Shade/Tungsten Light/White Fluorescent
   The default setting is Auto.
   White Balance lets you adjust the color temperature of videos and photos to optimize for cool or warm lighting conditions. When you change this setting, the LCD display immediately shows you the effect on your image.

4. EV: -2.0 / -1.0 / +0.0 / +1.0 / +2.0 (Exposure Value)
   The default setting is +0.0.
   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 camera to prioritize when determining exposure. This setting is particularly useful in shots where an important region might otherwise be over- or underexposed.
   When you change this setting, the LCD display immediately shows you the effect on your image. If you change modes, the camera returns to using the entire scene to determine the correct level of exposure.

5. ISO: Auto / 50 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600
   The 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. When you change this setting, the LCD display immediately shows you the effect on your image.
