FRAMES PER SECOND (FPS)
Frames per second refers to the number of frames captured in each
second of video. Higher fps values (60, 120, or 240) are better at
capturing fast-action shots. You can also use high fps footage for
slo-mo playback.
Resolution + FPS
Higher video resolutions capture more detail and clarity, but they're
generally available at lower fps values.
Lower video resolutions capture less detail and clarity, but they can
be shot at higher fps values.
When choosing a resolution on the RES | FPS screen, all of the available
frame rates for the resolution you selected are shown in white.
Unavailable frame rates are in gray.

ASPECT RATIO
Aspect ratio refers to the width and height of an image. Your GoPro
captures footage in three 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. The 4:3 aspect
ratio is available when shooting 5K, 4K, and 2.7K video.
16:9
This is the standard format used for HDTV and editing programs.
The widescreen format is ideal for capturing dramatic, cinematic
footage. The 16:9 aspect ratio is available when shooting 5.3K, 4K, 2.7K,
and 1080p video.
8:7
More details to come.
Heads Up: Black bars will appear on both sides of the screen when
playing back 4:3 footage on an HDTV.
