ECOMMENDED USE
WVGA/240fps/ Wide
Aliasing present. Not very clean. Passable for You Tube.
720/60-50fps/ Wide
Looks great but why don´t use 1080/60-50fps/Wide instead.
720/100-120fps/ Wide
Jagged edges and some aliasing present. Good for You Tube.
No aliasing. No lens distortion. Clean. Doesn´t look like a Gopro. Very
720/100-120fps/ Narrow
good for web. You´ll note the softness of the Narrow FOV.
960/48-50-60fps/ Wide
---------------
960/100fps/Wide
Like with 720/120-100fps/Wide, jagged edges at full resolution.
One of the cleanest modes. In low light looks much sharper than 60fps.
1080/30-25-24fps/ Wide
Looks the same as 2.7K/30-25fps/Wide scaled down.
Slightly softer than 30fps. Reduced rolling shutter. Great for movement
1080/60-50fps/ Wide
and action. Switch to 30-25-24fps with low light to get a sharper image.
Very good. Very clean. Less lens distortion. Doesn´t look like Gopro.
1080/60-50fps/ Medium
Switch to 30-25-24fps with low light to get a sharper image.
Still clean but softer and with some "artefacts". Doesn´t look like Gopro,
1080/60-50fps/ Narrow
no lens distortion. Noise can be an issue with low light.
1440/24-25-30fps /Wide
Very sharp and clean. Good POV feeling. Aspect ratio 4:3
1440/48fps/Wide
Some aliasing and jagged edges. Looks good converted to 1080 or 720.
Excellent. Very sharp. Some rolling shutter. Nice image blur if the
2.7K/30-25fps/ Wide
camera is steady. Very good with low light.
2.7K 17:9 24fps/Wide
Same as 2.7K/30-25fps/Wide but at 24fps and top and bottom cut off.
Good for Time-Lapse (converting to 30/24/25fps in post) with Protune and
4K/15fps/Wide
fixed White Balance (two things the Time-lapse mode cannot do)
Same as 4K/15fps/Wide but lower frame rate and top and bottom cut off.
4K 17:9 12fps/Wide
Good for Time-Lapse too.
