Getting into the settings area you will find several options either for Video/photo as follows

1. Resolution: 4K30/2.7K30/1080P60/1080P30/720P120/720P60/720P30, default setting is 4K30. When capturing video at high resolutions or high frame rates in warm ambient temperatures, the camera may become warm and use more power.

2. Image Stabilization: Off/On, 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.

3. Video Encode: H.264/H.265, default setting is H.264. Video encode is basically a process of converting a given video input into a digital format that is compatible with most types of Web players and mobile devices.

4. Loop Recording Time: Off/3 Min/5 Min/6 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.

5. Slow Motion: 1080P90/1080P60/720P120/720P60, default setting is 1080P90. Slow motion is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down.
