FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) (PHOTOS)
Your camera includes several FOV options for photos. All photos are
captured at 12MP.
FOV Description
Wide
Largest field of view. Good for action shots to
capture as much as possible within the frame.
This FOV results in a fisheye look, especially
around the edge of the scene. (You can crop
that out during editing, if needed.)
Medium
Mid-range field of view. Has the effect of
zooming in on the center of the shot.
Linear
Mid-range field of view that removes the fisheye
distortion. Good for capturing aerial footage or
any other shot where you want a more traditional
perspective.
Narrow
Smallest field of view with reduced fisheye
distortion. Good for capturing content at a
distance. Its most significant effect is that it
zooms in on the center of the shot.
