Resolution
For videos. The higher the resolution, the more detail in your video and the higher the file size. It doesn’t necessarily
mean the higher the resolution, the better the video quality.
For example: 4K/24fps will be amazing to film your tranquil surroundings in fantastic light but 1080/60fps will be much
better at capturing low-light fast movement as more images are displayed per second, and therefore, movement will
appear smoother. When deciding what Resolution to pick, consider what you’re planning on playing your footage back
on, and your filming conditions.
If you’re indoors or low light, go for 1080p, it’s stable and light contrast friendly. If it’s a glorious day, switch to 4k to
capture every fine detail around you. If you want to edit in some slow motion moments to your footage, 720 shouldn’t
be dismissed - with 120fps, you’re on track to getting some amazing movement detail when you slow down your
footage. Educate yourself!
Loop Record
Loop recording is a feature that enables you to automatically write over your old footage when you get to the end of your
memory card. It’s pretty self-explanatory.
Loop Record auto-saves your video in small sections and will record over your oldest video once there is no more space
on your memory card.
Choose from 3 options: 3, 5 or 10 minute segments. Loop record is perfect for using when you’re utilising the Olfi for
evidential purposes. For example: Using it as a dash cam or as an aid when riding horses on the road.
Field Of View / Field Of Vision. Put simply this means, whatever the lens is pointing at, and how much of that will make it
into shot.
Action cameras are renowned for their Fish eye effect, which will be most prominent when put in the Wide FOV option.
It’s great for those action shots. It’s even great for some really unique and interesting stills.
Medium FOV still gives you that wide-angle feel but will tone down the fish-eye. Narrow can be likened to the effects of a
DLSR. We like wide, it’s a signature effect for the type of camera, and therefore, arguably, gives the best results!
The Olfi has 4 options –
Wide, Medium, Narrow and Off (Defaults to Wide)
Wide = 166° (default), Medium = 100°, Narrow = 70°
The Olfi uses a built in digital stabiliser to reduce the natural shake associated with holding or mounting a camera to a
non-stable surface.
Use the Up / Down buttons on the side of the camera to navigate through the menu. Use the Shutter button to
select an item. To exit an item in the Setup menu, or to get back to the main Icons, press the Mode button once.
TIP
Gyro Sensor
Automatically adjusts the range of brightness-to-darkness that the camera will record. When turned on, it will help
balance your pictures by adjusting the contrasts. Many scenes do not require HDR to be activated so use this feature
according to your preference and scenario.
The presence of the blue hand symbol on the display screen indicates that the gyro sensor is turned on.
TIP
Enable or disable recording of audio with your video. If you’re doing a video lapse, its probably beneficial, for editing
purposes to have audio turned off rather than have a load of mismatched audio conversations on your footage.
Ranging from 1-10 with 10 being the highest option. If you want to record audio through the waterproof case, you will
need to alter your settings from the default 7 to 10. If you want stronger audio but don’t require the waterproofing, you
will need to purchase the Non-waterproof back door. This improves audio significantly by removing the watertight seal
that’s required to make the camera waterproof.
When enabled, your footage will display the time and date of your recording on playback. In default mode, this feature is
set to OFF. The last thing you want is your footage permanently displaying the wrong time and date if you’ve not set and
maintained the time and date settings.
Once the stamp is enabled, you’d have to edit it out if you don’t want to see it on your footage.
When enabled, the date and time of the recording will be superimposed on your video or photo on the lower left hand of
the display.
