To switch to Photo mode, press the Mode button on front of the camera. And since many of my videos were less than 3 minutes long, I was never in the least danger of running out of storage on our trip. So assuming a conservative 475 MB per video, my 64 GB SD card would hold around 134 three-minute videos, or over 6 hours of video. File sizes can vary a little depending on the content, but with these settings my 3 minute videos were pretty consistently in the 450-475 MB range. For posting videos to social media platforms, this does seem to make some sense. If you keep shooting, the camera just starts another video file, and so on.

One thing I found, and I don’t know how common this is with action cams, is that the videos will not be longer than 3 minutes. I chose to shoot my videos at 1080p, 60fps as shown in the picture above, and this worked out fairly well for me. Note: The Touch Screen is not accessible while the camera is in the waterproof case, so you should make your settings in advance if you plan to shoot underwater. This camera also has Image Stabilization, which you can turn on underneath the Video Resolution option. The 720P, 120FPS would be a good choice if you wanted to do some slow motion video. Note that all of these resolutions have a 16:9 aspect ratio. In this case I have chosen what I think is a reasonable default for an amateur. You move up and down the list of resolutions using up and down arrow buttons on the side of the camera. The screen on the back will show a wrench icon which is for settings, tap it and you can set the video resolution:

When you have turned it on and selected video you can make some choices. The Shutter/Select button is next to the Working/WiFi indicator light. This button is called the Shutter/Select Button because it does these two functions. This is the primary use case for an action cam, so how does the video work? When you select video, you can just start shooting by pressing the button on top of the camera, next to the red “power on” light. Push and hold to turn it on or off, then push to cycle through the modes. You select the mode using the Mode button on front, which also doubles as the power button. It can do video still photos, burst mode, and time lapse. Still, this is not a bad camera, and it does the four modes you might expect.
