CUSTOMIZING YOUR UNIT

VIDEO SETTING

1. Video Resolution: 4K/30FPS, EIS 4K/30FPS, 2.7K/30FPS, 1080P/60FPS, 1080P/30FPS, 720P/120FPS
   Default setting is 4K/30FPS.
   Note: When capturing video at high resolutions or high frame rates in warm ambient temperatures, the camera may become warm and use more power.
2. EIS: On / Off
   Default setting is off.
   This setting adjusts the footage to offset for motion during capture. The result is smoother footage, especially in activities with relatively small but fast motion including cycling, motorcycling, and handheld uses.
   Note:
   1. If you turn on EIS, then select 4K/30FPS, EIS will be turned off automatically.
   2. If you select 4K/30FPS, then turn on EIS, the video resolution will be EIS 4K/30FPS automatically.
3. Loop Recording: Off / 1 Min. / 3 Min. / 5 Min.
   Default setting is off.
   Loop recording allows your camera to overwrite old files with new files. Once the memory card becomes full, the camera will delete the first video file to make room for the latest file. For example, if the setting for loop recording is "1 Minute", then the camera will create video clips of 1 minute in length, and a 1-minute clip will be deleted when the camera needs more memory.
4. Time Lapse Video: Off / 1 Sec. / 5 Sec. / 10 Sec. / 30 Sec. / 60 Sec.
   Default setting is off.
   Time Lapse Video creates video from frames captured at specific intervals. This option lets you capture a time lapse event and immediately view or share it as a video. Time Lapse Video is captured without audio.
5. Slow Motion: Off, 1080P/60FPS, 720P/120FPS
   Default setting is off.
   Slow motion is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down.
   Note: If you use Slow Motion function, EIS will be turned off automatically.
   Slow motion video is captured without audio.
6. Audio Record: On / Off
   Default setting is on.
   Turn off Audio Record, the camera does not record audio when you record video.

PHOTO SETTING

1. Photo Resolution: 20M / 16M / 14M / 12M / 8M / 5M
   Default setting is 14M.
2. Time Lapse Photo: Off / 2 Sec. / 5 Sec. / 10 Sec.
   Default setting is off.
   Time Lapse Photo captures a series of photos at specified intervals. Use this mode to capture photos of any activity, then choose the best ones later.
3. Burst Photo: Off / 3 Photos / 5 Photos
   Default setting is off.
   Burst captures up to 5 photos in 1 second, so it is perfect for capturing fast-moving activities.

GENERAL SETTING

1. Volume: 0-10
   Default setting is 10.
   Press Up button to turn up the volume.
   Press Down button to turn down the volume.
2. Beep: On / Off
   Default setting is on.
   Sets the volume of your Vision 4 Lite's alerts.
3. Exposure: 2 / 1.7 / 1.3 / 1 / 0.7 / 0.3 / 0 / -0.3 / -0.7 / --1 / -1.3 / -1.7
   Default setting is 0.
   By default, your camera uses the entire image to determine the appropriate exposure level.
   However, Exposure lets you select an area that you want the camera to prioritize when determining exposure. This setting is particularly useful in shots where an important region might otherwise be over- or underexposed.
   When you change this setting, the LCD display immediately shows you the effect on your image. If you change modes, the camera returns to using the entire scene to determine the correct level of exposure.
4. White Balance: Auto / Daylight / Cloudy / Fluorescent / Incandescent Default setting is auto.
   White Balance lets you adjust the color temperature of videos and photos to optimize for cool or warm lighting conditions. When you change this setting, the LCD display immediately shows you the effect on your image.
5. ISO: Auto / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200
   ISO determines the camera's sensitivity to light, and creates a trade-off between brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of graininess in the image.
   In low light, higher ISO values result in brighter images, but with greater image noise. Lower values result in lower image noise, but darker images. When you change this setting, the LCD display immediately shows you the effect on your image.
6. Effect: Normal / Sepia / B&W / Negative Default setting is normal.
7. Contrast: -100 - +100
   Default setting is 0.
8. Saturation: -100 - +100
   Default setting is 40.
9. Sharpness: -100 - +100
   Default setting is 0.
   Sharpness controls the quality of details captured in your video footage or photos. When you change this setting, the touch display immediately shows you the effect on your image.

   The date and time are automatically updated when you connect your camera to the Live DV app. However, you can manually change these settings, if needed.

BATTERY STORAGE AND HANDLING

• The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery. Avoid exposing your camera to very cold or very hot temperatures. Low or high temperature conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the camera to temporarily stop working properly.

• Do not make any unauthorized alterations to the camera. Doing so may compromise safety, regulatory compliance, performance, and may void the warranty.

Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate or paint the camera or battery. Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening on the camera.
