Microphone Modes

You can change the microphone mode based on the recording 

environment.
From the main menu, select 

Setup

 > 

Microphone

.

Spatial

: Records spatial audio using all four 

microphones. Spatial audio records 360-degree, location-

specific sound. While playing the video using a compatible 

player, the audio perspective follows the video perspective 

when you view different parts of the video sphere. Spatial 

audio is especially effective when viewing a video using a 

virtual reality headset. Spatial audio recording is not available 

when you are using the Front Only or Rear Only lens modes.

Rear Only

: Records mono audio using only the rear 

microphone. This can help to reduce wind noise.

Off

: Turns off all internal and external microphones, and records 

video without audio.

Outputting Live Video to an External Device

You can use a micro HDMI

®

 cable to output live video from the 

camera to an external device, such as a broadcasting or live-

streaming device.

1

Slide the latch 

À

 to open the side door.

2

Plug the cable into the

 port 

Á

 on the camera.

NOTE: 

You cannot connect a power cable and a video cable 

at the same time. To provide external power while outputting 

video, you can use an optional powered mount 

accessory. Go to 

garmin.com/virb

 to purchase accessories.

3

Plug the other end of the cable into your external device.

Taking Photos

Your camera can capture spherical 360-degree photos. You can 

change the photo mode to capture a single photo, a photo burst, 

or a series of time-lapse photos (

Photo Modes

, page 5

).

• To take a photo, select 

.

The camera takes a photo or photos in the active photo mode 

after the default self timer expires (

Setting the Default Photo 

Self Timer

, page 5

).

• To increase the self-timer delay, hold 

 until the correct 

delay time appears on the screen, and release 

.

The self-timer counts down, and the status LEDs flash 

yellow. The camera beeps to alert you when the self timer is 

close to expiring, and it beeps rapidly immediately before the 

camera takes a photo. After the self-timer expires, the 

camera takes a photo or photos in the active photo mode.

• While recording a video, select 

.

The camera marks the current video frame as a photo. You 

can use the VIRB Edit application to save the marked frame 

as a separate photo file (

, page 13

). The camera 

cannot take a photo burst or time-lapse photos while 

recording video.
