PHOTO MODE - Page 1

PHOTO SIZE › Changes the size of still photos that will be recorded. Of
course, the bigger the size the more detailed your pictures are, at the
expense of file size.

PHOTO QUALITY › Refers to how much compression the output image will
have. The higher the setting the bigger the file is, and will contain more
detail.

LONG EXPOSURE › Sets how long the sensor collects light through the
lens.

PHOTO STAMP › When enabled, will display the time and date on your
photos.

SELF TIMER: Sets a delay timer to trigger the shutter at the set number of
seconds.

PHOTO-BURST: Fast multiple succession of snapshots, choose the

number of photos desired (Max: 10 consecutive shots).

TIME LAPSE PHOTO: Sets the interval between a long sequence of shots.

SHARPNESS › Changing the sharpness setting will make your images

either crisper or smoother, adjust according to your preference.

AWB (AUTO WHITE BALANCE) › Adjusts the color temperature of the

snapshot/recording to compensate for ambient lighting.
PHOTO MODE - Page 2

EV › Exposure Value - Changing EV compensates for the amount of light

that is allowed in. You can change this value to a lower setting if the scene
is too bright, to compensate. Or higher, if it is too dark, but still depends on
your desired outcome. A higher EV will take longer for a photo to be taken,
and will add blur to photos as they take longer to expose.

ISO › Sets he image sensor's sensitivity to light. Choose “Auto” on your

camera if you are not familiar with this setting. Depending on the lighting
conditions, use the lowest ISO whenever possible, as higher settings will
introduce more noise while pixel sensitivity also goes up. Adjust depending
on your preference.

METERING › Prioritizes the brightness level of specific parts of the scene

depending on the Metering Mode that is used: Center Weighted, Multi, or
Spot.

VIDEO RECORD - Page 1

VIDEO RESOLUTIONS: A higher resolution will have more detail in your

video at the expense of file size. A lower resolution has a smaller filesize but
will have less details in your video. Conversely, a higher resolution will
contain more detail.
Note: FPS (Frames Per Second) is part of the options in video resolution:
The higher the FPS, the more images will be displayed per second, and the
smoother the movement in the video is, at the expense of filesize.

VIDEO QUALITY: Sets how much detail is recorded in the video. Available
in 3 presets: Super Fine, Fine, and Normal.

FOV: Field Of View. The wider the setting, the more parts of the scene are
included in the recording.
NOTE: When using the gyro, 1080p in 30 or 60fps will not have FOV
options as they conflict with stabilization.

AUTO LOW LIGHT: When on, the image sensor will compensate for low
light, at the expense of framecount. Turning the feature off will lock the
framecount to the selected framerate (FPS) regardless of lighting
conditions.

SLOW MOTION: Sets the frame rate to run at the set speed. When
recording in higher FPS, video will appear slow.
GYRO SENSOR: Sets the gyro sensor to stabilize the movement seen in
the frame.

DETECTION: Sets the camera to record every time a movement is

detected.

DUAL FILES: Will save 2 versions of the recorded video, one in the
selected resolution and another in low resolution (768 x 432 pixels) for use
in editing.

VIDEO STAMP: When enabled, will display the date and time of your
recording.

TIME LAPSE VIDEO: Sets the time interval between shots; recorded files
will have a single video output (MP4) instead of multiple image files.

● TIP: For a more stable video or photo, turn on the Gyro Sensor. You will
know if it’s active when you see a blinking hand on the upper right hand of
the Display. [ Works in certain resolutions only, FOV off ].

VIDEO RECORD - Page 2

LOOP RECORD › Auto-saves your video in small sections, depending on

selected length. It will record over your oldest video once there is no more
space on your memory card.)

CAR DVR: Enabled powering on the camera and auto-record when the
engine is started. Requires that the camera is plugged in to a car power
adaptor.

MICROPHONE VOLUME: Sets the sensitivity of the microphone.

SHARPNESS › Changing the sharpness setting will make your images

either crisper or smoother, adjust according to your preference.

AWB (AUTO WHITE BALANCE) › Adjust the color temperature of the

snapshot/recording to compensate for ambient lighting.

EV › Exposure Value - Changing EV compensates for the amount of light

that is allowed in. You can change this value to a lower setting if the scene
is too bright, to compensate. Or higher, if it is too dark, but still depends on
your desired effect. A higher EV will take longer for a photo to be taken, and
may add blur to videos as each frame takes longer to expose.
ISO › Sets he image sensor's sensitivity to light. Choose “Auto” on your
camera if you are not familiar with this setting. Depending on the lighting
conditions, use the lowest ISO whenever possible, as higher settings will
introduce more noise while pixel sensitivity also goes up. Adjust depending
on your preference.

METERING › Prioritizes the brightness level of specific parts of the scene

depending on the Metering Mode that is used: Center Weighted, Multi, or
Spot.

● TIP: When using your camera as a dashcam, use a car charger cable and
remove the internal battery to make sure it does not die out while you travel,
and to avoid overcharging / overheating the battery.
● WARNING: Operating your camera while driving a vehicle is potentially
dangerous. It is strongly advised to set up your camera before your trip.
