Video Resolution
4K 30fps/2.7K 30fps/1080P 60fps/1080P 30fps/720P 120fps/720P 60fps (Default setting: 1080P 60fps)
Configure the resolution settings before recording videos. The camera records up to 4K 30fps videos.
Note: Capturing videos in warm environments in high resolutions and frame rates will consume more power.
Image Stabilization
Off / On (Default setting: Off)
Image Stabilization can efficiently smooth out the lens shakes, resulting in smooth and pristine videos. This feature is ideal for capturing scenes involving activities like riding, skating, and handheld use.
Loop Recording
Off/1min./3min./5min. (Default setting: Off)
This option allows you to set the video length before recording loop videos. For instance, if you set “Loop Recording” to “3min”, the camera will save video files every 3 minutes. When the memory is full, new video files will overwrite the old ones to ensure continuous recording.
Time Lapse Video
Off/1S/3S/5S/10S/30S/60S (Default setting: 5S)
Time Lapse Video creates video from frames captured at specific intervals. This option enables you to set how often your camera captures a frame of video. Note: Time Lapse Video is captured without audio.
Date Stamp

The camera will add a watermark to your videos or photos per your setting.
Note: Date Stamp will be disabled when Time Lapse Video Mode or Image Stabilization is enabled.
Exposure

By default, your camera utilizes intelligent analysis of the entire image to determine the optimal exposure level. However, with the remarkable Exposure feature, you now have the ability to designate a specific area that takes priority in determining the ideal exposure. This invaluable setting proves particularly useful when capturing shots where critical regions may otherwise suffer from over or underexposure. As you make adjustments, the display promptly showcases the immediate impact on your image, guaranteeing that you never miss a moment. Rest assured that should you switch modes, the camera seamlessly reverts back to utilizing the complete scene for precise exposure calculation.
Photo Resolution
20MP/16MP/14MP/12MP/8MP/5MP/4MP (Default setting: 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.
Burst Photo
Off/3 Photos (Default setting: Off)
Burst captures up to 3 photos in 1 second, so it is perfect for capturing fast-moving activities.
Time Lapse Photo
Off/2S/3S/5S/10S/20S/30S/60S (Default setting: 5S)
Time Lapse Photo captures a series of photos at set intervals, and then combines them into a video. This option enables you to specify the frequency at which the photos are captured and compiled.
Continuous Lapse
Off/On (Default setting: On)
With Continuous Lapse enabled, this camera captures a series of time lapse photos and complies them into a video. When disabled, the camera will capture a single photo instead.

With the Diving Mode enabled, this camera efficiently compensates for the absence of red light in underwater scenes. Specifically designed to enhance performance in tropical and blue waters, optimized for use within depths ranging from 10 to 80 feet.
