FULL SETUP MENU

TV Mode

NTSC (60Hz) is the video system or standard used in North America and most of South America. In NTSC, 30 frames

are transmitted each second. Each frame is made up of 525 individual scan lines.

PAL (50Hz) is the predominant video system or standard mostly used overseas. In PAL, 25 frames are transmitted each

second. Each frame is made up of 625 individual scan line.

The cameras default setting is PAL.

OSD Mode

(On-Screen Display) When enabled, information and icons will be displayed on the screen indicating what features are

activated, current mode, recording, elapsed time, data usage, battery status, etc.

Why turn it off? Preference really. You possibly don’t want to see your settings when you’ve connected your camera to a

TV via the HDMI lead to playback your footage.

Video File Format

Choose between .MOV or .MP4. If you are unsure which to use, choose MP4, it’s the industry standard, more commonly

used and therefore, supported better. However, you can easily convert your file format post-production, so it really

doesn’t matter too much.

Bit Rate

Changes how much information is included in each frame of video. High, Medium (default) or Low. In basic terms, the

higher the bitrate, the clearer and more detailed each frame of your video will be but this is at the expense of file size.

It’s complicated to explain in full. Isn’t that what search engines are for?

Low Res File

When enabled, this will create two files, your normal file size and a Low-res file. Why use this? If you want to quickly

review your footage, transferring the low res file to your phone or tablet will take less time and use less space, and is

handy to save battery life.

However, it will be a lower quality video. View your footage and decide whether you want to keep your main file which

will stay sat on your SD card. Otherwise delete them and make room for better shots.

Power on Record

Recording starts as soon as the camera has powered on. A simple feature, beneficial in a lot of situations especially for

evidential purposes.

Image Size

(Photos only) Change the size of your images. Handy if you’d like to get more images from your memory card but this is

at the expense of the image quality. In default mode, we’ve set this at the optimum 16 megapixels (4608 x 3456) for

quality, rather than quantity.

Quality

Refers to how much compression the output image will have on stills and videos. Choose from: Fine, Normal (default)

or Economy. The higher the setting the bigger the file is, and the more detail in your image.

Sharpness

Changing the sharpness setting will make the detail in your overall image sharper. Choose from: High, Medium (default)

or Low. You probably won’t notice too much of a difference in your images if you compare them side by side but if you

zoom in to them post production, you will notice more fine detailing when you have this set to High and you’ll notice a

softer finish when adjusted to Low.

White Balance

Our eyes are very good at analysing what is white, irrespective of the light source in a particular situation.

White balance is the process of fixing unrealistic colours created in a photo or video. Effectively, it helps to restore

colour inconsistencies, so that a colour which is viewed in person is the same as what’s depicted in your footage.

How? By taking the colour temperature into account. Choose from: Auto (default), Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten or

Fluorescent. If your footage has a blue, orange, green or grey colour cast on items which you see as white –

adjust your White balance and try again.
