FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) (PHOTOS)
Your camera includes several FOV options for photos. All photos are 
captured at 12MP.
FOV Description
Wide Largest field of view. Good for action shots to 
capture as much as possible within the frame. 
This FOV results in a fisheye look, especially 
around the edge of the scene. (You can crop 
that out during editing, if needed.)
Medium Mid-range field of view. Has the effect of 
zooming in on the center of the shot.
Linear Mid-range field of view that removes the...

WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE (WDR)
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) retains a greater level of detail in the dark\
 and 
bright areas of an image. The result is a photo that is properly exposed\
 for 
both of these extremes. This setting is especially useful for scenes tha\
t are 
backlit or that have large bright regions and a dark foreground.
WDR is available only for the Photo capture mode and only when RAW 
Format is turned off. The options for this setting are Off (default) a\
nd On.

Time Lapse Photo, and Night Lapse Photo. Each capture mode has its   
own settings.
TIME LAPSE VIDEO  
Time Lapse Video creates video from frames captured at specific interval\
s. 
This option lets you capture a time lapse event and immediately view or 
share it as a video. Time Lapse Video is available only in 4K, 2.7K 4:3,\
 and 
1080p resolutions and is captured without audio. 
The default resolution for Time Lapse Video is 4K,...

TIME LAPSE VIDEO RESOLUTION AND FOV
In Time Lapse mode, resolution and FOV apply only to Time Lapse Video.
Video resolution refers to the number of horizontal lines in the video. \
Higher 
resolutions result in greater detail and clarity. So, a video with resol\
ution of 
2.7K is considered higher quality than 1080p because it consists of 2704\
 
lines, each with a width of 1520 pixels. 
The field of view (FOV) refers to how much of the scene (measured in 
degrees) can be captured through the camera...
