Your camera includes several FOV options for photos. All photos are 
captured at 10MP.
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.)
Linear Mid-range field of view that removes the fisheye 
distortion. Good for capturing aerial footage or

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...

intervals are Continuous, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 seconds, and 1, 2, 5, 30, and 
60 minutes.  Intervals of 4 and 5 seconds are available only when Shutte\
r is

ISO applies only to the Video capture mode. This setting determines 
the camera’s sensitivity to light in low-light environments, and crea\
tes a 
tradeoff between brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refer\
s 
to the degree of graininess in the image. 
In low light, higher ISO values result in brighter images, but with grea\
ter 
image noise. Lower values result in lower image noise, but darker images\
.
The way that ISO Limit is applied depends on the Shutter setting: •...
