Video Settings
Select MODE > SETUP > VIDEO.

Field of View: Sets the zoom level.
Loop: Enables loop recording and sets the number of minutes
of video to store when recording a video loop.
Auto Record: Enables automatic recording (VIRB Elite only).
Microphone: Enables the microphone.
NOTE: This setting is not available when the device is
connected to an external microphone.

Video Modes
You can change the video mode to change the resolution,
aspect ratio, frame rate, and speed of recorded video. The
resolution is the width and height of the video, in pixels. The
aspect ratio is the ratio of the video width to the video height.
Standard widescreen televisions use a 16:9 aspect ratio, and
standard full screen televisions use a 4:3 aspect ratio. The
frame rate is expressed in frames per second (fps). The speed
indicates the speed of action in the video compared to real time.
1080p: Use this mode when you need high-resolution
widescreen shots. 1080p works well as a default setting.
Tall HD: Use this mode when you need a large, vertical viewing
area. Tall HD is particularly useful for close-up action shots
and when using a helmet mount.
Fast HD: Use this widescreen mode to capture high-speed
action shots.
Economy HD: Use this widescreen mode when you need a
longer recording time. Economy HD uses less space on
your memory card.
Slow Mo HD: Use this widescreen mode to capture handheld
shots with slow-motion playback.
Super Slow Mo: Use this mode when you need super slow-
motion playback in standard definition.
Time Lapse: Use this high-resolution widescreen mode to
capture slow-moving or long-term action.
