CAR MODE OPTIONS – Page2
BITRATE › Changes how much information is included in each frame of video.
Higher bitrates give more definition to your video at the expense of filesize.
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 (grain).
SHARPNESS › Changing the sharpness setting will make your images either crisper
or smoother, adjust according to your preference.
SATURATION › For adjusting how vivid colors look like when recorded into the file.
CONTRAST › For adjusting how more or less pronounced the image sharpness is.
WHITE BALANCE › Adjusts the color temperature of the snapshot/recording to
compensate for ambient lighting.
COLOR › You are given 5 preset choices: Normal, B&W (Black and White),
Retro (aka: “Sepia tone”), Warm (slight reddish hue), and Cool (slight bluish hue).
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 will add blur to videos as each
frame takes longer to expose.
METERING › Prioritizes the brightness level of specific parts of the scene
depending on the Metering Mode that is used: Average, Center Weighted, or Spot.
DISTORTION CORRECTION › Since the lens of your action camera has a very wide FOV
(Field of View), your camera will try to fit everything in, and will result in the center
appearing to be distorted or bulging. When on, this feature will straighten the image.
