Live Streaming

 

Share rock climbs, killer waves (and wipeouts) in real time. Stream scenes as they happen with high-quality picture and sound.

 

Action Cam Movie Creator

 

The Action Cam Movie Creator allows you to create a movie complete with speed and GPS overlays in your footage, as well as to combine separate video footage together. It also allows you to make impressive playback speed of a selected portion slower (x1/2, x1/4, x1/8) or faster (x2, x4, x8, x16).

 

Interval Shooting (Still Image)

 

Capture subtle movement with detail and precision. Interval recording takes a still photo every 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds, so they can be stitched together into a time-lapse video. This is especially useful for continuous recording over a prolonged period.

 

Tally Lights

 

For added convenience, the Action Cam features a second tally light on top of the camera, in addition to the light on the back of the unit. This allows you to easily check the recording status from various angles.

 

Manual Settings

 

Explore sophisticated shooting features for pro-style movies. Use advanced manual settings like white balance and AE shift, and optimise brightness and hue to match images from other camcorders for easier movie editing.

 

Upside-Down Flip Capture

 

The Upside-down Flip function is especially useful when the Action Cam is shooting from an inverted position. Select a special setting prior to operation so the camera will capture footage in standard orientation.
