FIELD OF VIEW (FOV)
The field of view (FOV) refers to how much of the scene can be captured
through the camera lens. For Video mode, SuperView FOV captures the
largest amount of the scene, while Linear FOV captures the least.
The FOV options that appear are based on the selected resolution and
fps.
FOV
Best Use
SuperView
SuperView delivers the world’s most immersive
field of view. Good for body-or gear-mounted
shots. More vertical 4:3 content is automatically
stretched to full-screen 16:9 for stunning
widescreen playback on your computer or TV.
Wide (default)
Large field of view that is good for action
shots where you want 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.)
Linear
Mid-range field of view that removes the fisheye
effect found in the Wide FOV. Subjects close
to the edge of the frame might have some
level of distortion, so this option might not be
appropriate for those shots. Good for capturing
aerial footage or any other shot where you want
a more traditional perspective.
In addition to selecting an FOV, you can further zoom in or out on a
subject. For details, see
Zoom
(page 70).
