VIDEO (DEFAULT)

Video mode is set up to capture traditional footage using 4K video at 60 frames per second with the Wide digital lens in the 16:9 aspect ratio.

TIMEWARP

TimeWarp lets you speed up time by recording frames of video at set intervals. The result is a fast-motion effect when you play back your video. TimeWarp automatically stabilizes your video—making it ideal for capturing ultra smooth time lapse video of your activities and any time you're on the move.

STAR TRAILS

Mount your camera to a stationary object or tripod, point it toward the night sky, and let physics take over. Star Trails uses the Earth’s rotation and the stars to create beautiful trails of light across the sky. Use the trail length effect to choose maximum, long, or short trail lengths.

LIGHT PAINTING

Light Painting uses a long exposure to let you create brilliant brush stroke effects with moving light. Mount your camera to a stationary object or tripod, grab a flashlight, glow stick, or other light source, and get creative.

VEHICLE LIGHT TRAILS

Mount your camera to a stationary object or tripod and point your camera at moving vehicles to create stunning light trail footage. Be sure to use the trail length effect to choose maximum, long, or short trail lengths.

TIME LAPSE

Time Lapse turns long events into short, shareable videos by taking a frame of video at set intervals. Use it to capture time lapse video when your camera is mounted and still. It’s great for sunsets, street scenes, art projects, and other shots that unfold over a long period of time.

NIGHT LAPSE

Night Lapse was made to capture time lapse video in dark and low-light environments. It automatically adjusts the shutter speed to let in more light and picks the interval that will give you the best results. Night Lapse isn’t recommended for handheld or mounted shots when the camera is moving.
