TIME LAPSE VIDEO RESOLUTION AND FOV
In Time Lapse mode, resolution and FOV apply only to Time Lapse Video.
Video resolution refers to the number of horizontal lines in the video. Higher
resolutions result in greater detail and clarity. So, a video with resolution of
2.7K is considered higher quality than 1080p because it consists of 2704
lines, each with a width of 1520 pixels.
The field of view (FOV) refers to how much of the scene (measured in
degrees) can be captured through the camera lens. Wide FOV captures the
largest amount of the scene.
Available resolutions for Time Lapse Video are 4K, 2.7K 4:3, and 1080p.
FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) FOR TIME LAPSE
Your camera includes several FOV options for time lapse.
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.
FOV Description
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.
INTERVAL (TIME LAPSE)
The Interval setting determines the amount of time that passes between
each captured frame.
Time Lapse Photo and Time Lapse Video Intervals
