Video- und Fotoeinstellungen (Video and Photo Settings)

To adjust video or photo settings, press the Down button to access the settings menu when the camera is on. On this screen, press the Down button to scroll through all setting options. After selecting the desired setting, press the Down or Up button again to change the setting, followed by the OK button to confirm your change.

1. Videoauflösung (Video Resolution)

Options: 4K 30fps, 2.7K 30fps, 1080P 120fps, 1080P 60fps, 1080P 30fps, 720P 240fps, 720P 120fps, 720P 60fps, 720P 30fps (Default setting is 4K 30fps). This camera can record videos up to 4K30fps. Higher resolution offers better clarity and detail due to a larger number of pixels. However, higher resolution also leads to larger file sizes.

Hinweis: When recording at high resolutions or frame rates in warm ambient temperatures, the camera may become warm and consume more power.

2. Bildstabilisierung (Image Stabilization)

Options: Aus/Ein (Off/On) (Default setting is Aus/Off). Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS2.0) can efficiently compensate for lens movements, providing smooth and clear videos. This function is ideal for recording scenes with activities like riding, skating, and handheld use.

3. Loop Aufnahme (Loop Recording)

Options: Aus/2min./3min./5min. (Default setting is Aus/Off). Loop recording allows you to continuously record videos, saving only the moments you want. For example, if you select a 5-minute interval, only the previous 5 minutes will be saved when you press the OK button to stop recording. If you record for 5 minutes and do not press the OK button to end the recording, the camera will overwrite a new section of your previous recordings every 5 minutes. If the memory card is full, old files will be replaced by new ones when loop recording is activated.

4. Zeitraffer-Video (Time-lapse Video)

Options: 1 Sek./2 Sek./5 Sek./10 Sek./30 Sek./60 Sek. (Default setting is 1 Sek). This option allows you to set the frequency at which video frames are captured and compiled. The camera records a series of videos at the set interval, which is ideal for capturing dynamic or changing scenes like clouds, stars, sunsets, and more. Hinweis: Time-lapse video is recorded without audio.

5. Videoqualität (Video Quality)

Options: Hoch/Mittel/Niedrig (High/Medium/Low) (Default setting is Hoch/High). Determines the detail level of your videos.

6. Bildauflösung (Photo Resolution)

Options: 20MP/16MP/13MP/8MP (Default setting is 20MP). This camera can take photos with a resolution of 20MP. Higher resolution offers greater clarity and detail due to the increased number of pixels. However, higher resolution also leads to larger file sizes.

7. Zeitraffer Bild (Time-lapse Photo)

Options: 3 Sek/5 Sek/10 Sek/20 Sek/30 Sek/60 Sek (Default setting is 3 Sek). This option allows you to set the frequency at which photos are taken and compiled in Time-lapse Photo mode. The camera takes a series of photos at the set interval.

8. Serienbild (Burst Photo)

Options: 3 Fotos, 5 Fotos, 10 Fotos (Default setting is 3 Fotos). This option allows you to set the number of photos per second in burst mode. Burst shooting captures up to 10 photos per second and is therefore perfect for fast-moving activities.

9. Kontinuierliches Lapse (Continuous Lapse)

Options: Aus/An (Off/On) (Default setting is Aus/Off). Turn on continuous time-lapse. This camera takes pictures in time-lapse.

10. Winkel (Angle)

Options: Extra breit/Weit/Mittlere/Schmal (Extra wide/Wide/Medium/Narrow) (Default setting is Extra breit/Extra wide). The angle refers to how much of the scene (measured in degrees) can be captured through the camera lens. Super wide angle captures the largest amount of the scene, while narrow angle captures the least. This function is not available while image stabilization is on.

11. Tauchmodus (Dive Mode)

Options: Aus/Ein (Off/On) (Default setting is Aus/Off). Dive mode can compensate for the lack of yellow light in underwater environments. Dive mode is for use in tropical and blue water and is optimized for use between 10 and 80 feet.

12. Belichtung (Exposure)

Options: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 (Default setting is 0). By default, your camera uses the entire image to determine the appropriate exposure level. However, with Exposure, you can select an area that the camera should prioritize when determining exposure. This setting is particularly useful for shots where an important area might otherwise be over- or underexposed. If you change this setting, the display will immediately show you the effect on your image. If you change the mode, the camera will use the entire scene again to determine the correct exposure level.

Systemeinstellungen (System Settings)

1. Effekt (Effect)

Options: Normal/S&W/Sepia/Negative/Warm/Kalt/Rot/Grün/Blau (Normal/B&W/Sepia/Negative/Warm/Cold/Red/Green/Blue) (Default setting is Normal). Choose the desired special effect to make your images even more captivating.

2. Mikrofon (Microphone)

Options: Eingebaut/Extern (Built-in/External) (Default setting is Eingebaut/Built-in). You have the option to choose either a built-in or an external microphone.

3. Netzfrequenz (Frequency)

Options: 50Hz/60Hz/Auto (Default setting is 60Hz). Power frequency is also known as mains voltage frequency or mains frequency and is the frequency of the alternating current (AC) used in most electrical systems worldwide. If you live in the northeastern region, please set the power frequency to 60 Hz, which means the current changes 60 times per second. If you live outside this region, set it to 50 Hz.

6. Töne (Sounds)

You can turn the shutter, beep, and start sounds on or off. The volume adjusts the sounds of your Brave 4.

8. 180° Drehung (180° Rotation)

Options: Aus/Ein (Off/On) (Default setting is Aus/Off). This setting determines the orientation of your videos or photos, so you can avoid upside-down recordings.

Hinweis: The user interface will be upside down when the "180° Drehung" option is activated.

9. Bildschirmschoner (Screensaver)

Options: Aus/30S/1Min/2Min (Off/30S/1Min/2Min) (Default setting is 30S). Turn off the display during an inactivity phase to extend battery life. To turn the display back on, press any button on the camera.
