Video Modes You can change the video mode to change the resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, and speed of recorded video. The resolution is the width and height of the video, in pixels. The aspect ratio is the ratio of the video width to the video height. Standard widescreen televisions use a 16:9 aspect ratio, and standard full screen televisions use a 4:3 aspect ratio. The frame rate is expressed in frames per second (fps). The speed indicates the speed of action in the video compared to real time. 1080p: Use this mode when you need high-resolution widescreen shots. 1080p works well as a default setting. Tall HD: Use this mode when you need a large, vertical viewing area. Tall HD is particularly useful for close-up action shots and when using a helmet mount. Fast HD: Use this widescreen mode to capture high-speed action shots. Economy HD: Use this widescreen mode when you need a longer recording time. Economy HD uses less space on your memory card. Slow Mo HD: Use this widescreen mode to capture handheld shots with slow-motion playback. Super Slow Mo: Use this mode when you need super slowmotion playback in standard definition. Time Lapse: Use this high-resolution widescreen mode to capture slow-moving or long-term action.
