Resolution
Select between HD (high definition) or FHD (Full high definition) for the
recording resolution.

Three photos
Also known as burst shots, this takes and saves 3 photos within approximately 2 seconds.
Cyclic record
This setting applies to video mode only. When enabled, this allows videos to continuously record while saving as short clips. Select between 3 minute, 5 minute, or 10 minute intervals. When video is recording, the device will automatically save the current video and begin recording the next once the selected time has passed. This is ideal for recording long videos indefinitely, without needing to manually stop and save clips. It also ensures smaller, easier to manage files rather than one long clip
