ASPECT RATIO
Aspect ratio refers to the width and height of an image. HERO7 Black
captures videos and photos in two aspect ratios.
4:3
The tall 4:3 format captures more of the scene than the 16:9 widescreen
format. It's great for selfies and point-of-view footage.
16:9
This is the standard format used for HDTV and editing programs.
The widescreen format is ideal for capturing dramatic cinematic footage.
Heads Up: Black bars will appear on both sides of the screen when playing
back 4:3 footage on an HDTV.

camera. For Video mode, SuperView captures the most, while Linear
captures the least.
FOV Best Use
The world's most immersive field of view,
SuperView SuperView stretches 4:3 content to fit a 16:9
screen. Great for body and gear-mounted shots.
Large field of view that's great for action shots
Wide (default) where you want to capture as much as possible
within the frame.

effect of SuperView and Wide. Perfect for
Linear

traditional perspective.

and frame rate you selected will be available.
