FIELD OF VIEW (FOV)
The field of view (FOV) refers to how much of the scene (measured in
degrees) can be captured through the camera lens. Wide FOV captures the
largest amount of the scene, while Narrow FOV captures the least.
The FOV options that appear are based on the selected resolution and fps.
FOV Best Use
SuperView delivers the world's most immersive
field of view. Good for body-or gear-mounted
SuperView shots. More vertical 4:3 content is automatically
stretched to full-screen 16:9 for stunning
widescreen playback on your computer or TV.
Large field of view that is good for action shots
where you want to capture as much as possible
Wide 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.)
Mid-range field of view that has the effect of
Medium
zooming in on the center of the shot.
Mid-range field of view that removes the
fisheye effect found in the Wide FOV. Good for
Linear
capturing aerial footage or any other shot where
you want to remove the distortion.
Smallest field of view. Good for capturing
Narrow content at a distance. Its most significant effect
is that it zooms in on the center of the
44
shot.
