Hold MENU, and select Video > Field of View. Wide: Captures a wide view of your surroundings. Use this option for open areas, close-range video, and to capture as much of your viewing area as possible. Zoom: Captures a tighter view. Use this option for mediumrange video. Ultra-Zoom: Captures a very focused view. Use this option for long-range video and closed or covered surroundings. Setting the Video Format You can set the video standard for your region. The video standard affects the available video frame rate options (FPS). 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select System > Format. 3 Select NTSC or PAL. Pro Settings Hold MENU, and select Video > Pro Settings > Status. TIP: While on the home screen, you can select to view the current pro settings. NOTE: Pro settings are available for the VIRB XE device only. Color: Sets the color palette. You can use the Vivid option for a more vibrant color palette, or the Flat option for a more neutral color palette. White Bal.: Adjusts the color tone based on your surroundings. The device can automatically adjust the white balance, or you can manually adjust the white balance. You can use the 2800K option for incandescent light, the 4000K option for fluorescent light, the 5000K option for daylight, the 6500K option for sunny conditions, or the 7500K option for cloudy conditions. Sharpness: Sets the level of sharpness. You can use the High option for a sharper look, the Medium option for moderate sharpness, or the Low option for a softer look. ISO Limit: Sets the level of sensitivity and image noise. Higher ISO values have more visible noise or grain. Higher ISO values are best for use in low light environments or indoors. Lower ISO values are best for use in sunlight. You can use the 6400 option for brighter video in low light, the 1600 option for moderate brightness in low light, or the 400 option for darker video in low light. EV Bias: Sets the exposure bias. Exposure bias affects the level of brightness. EV Lock: Enables or disables exposure lock. You can enable exposure lock to ensure consistent light sensitivity in your video capture. When recording a time-lapse video, this helps eliminate stray frames with slightly brighter or darker images. Recording Video Automatically You can set the device to record video automatically when the device is moving. This feature allows you to conserve space on your memory card by recording only the important parts of your activity. 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Video > Auto Record > When Moving. The device records video when you are moving and stops recording when you are still. This feature automatically enables GPS in the system settings. Recording a Time-Lapse Video Time-lapse mode captures individual video frames at longer intervals and creates a video that plays much faster than real time. You can use time-lapse mode to record movements, changes, or events that take place over a long period of time. Time-lapse videos play at 30 frames per second. The length of the video depends on the amount of time between video frames. For example, if frames are recorded at a one-second interval, each second of video covers 30 seconds of real time. If frames are recorded at a 60-second interval, each second of video covers 30 minutes of real time. 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Video > Mode > Timelapse. 3 Select a time interval. 4 Video
