Image Size
5 M
Select the desired resolution. The higher the
resolution, the better the quality of the shot. More
memory space and more time to write onto the
SD card is needed with better quality (12 MP).
This means that the trigger time is a little slower
than with 5 MP. Therefore a resolution of 5 MP is
recommended. The resolution can be set in the
following sizes: 5 / 8 / 12 MP.
Video Size
640
Select the desired video resolution. The higher the
resolution, the better the quality. However, more
memory space is needed if a high resolution is
selected. The following video resolutions are available:
FHD (1920x1080), HD (1280x720), 640 (640x480),
320 (320x240)
