Table
Notes
1 1080p
is
higher
resolution
and,
under
identical
conditions
will
generally
produce
a
slightly
sharper
picture,
but
conditions
are
seldom
identical
and
almost
never
ideal.
Depending
on
the
type
of
television
receiver
or
computer
screen
on
which
the
video
is
played
back,
room
lighting,
viewing
distance
from
the
screen,
and
other
factors,
the
difference
in
picture
quality
between
1080p
and
720p
may
or
may
not
be
significant
or
even
detectable.
It’s
best
to
try
it
and
see.
2 On
the
POV.HD,
720p60
is
recorded
at
60
fps
and
720p50
is
recorded
at
50
fps
for
compatibility
with
European
broadcast
standards
which
allows
clips
recorded
this
way
to
be
played
back
in
smooth
slow
motion,
and
for
action
filming
these
will
often
be
the
format
of
choice.
Because,
on
the
POV.HD,
720p60
records
twice
as
many
frames
as
1080p30
and
720p50
records
twice
as
many
frames
as
1080p25,
the
resulting
file
sizes
in
these
two
situations
are
roughly
the
same.
Understanding
the
POV.HD
Video
Record
Methods
The
POV.HD
supports
three
video
Record
Methods:
Clip,
Loop,
and
Loop
&
Forward.
•
Clip
works
like
a
regular
video
recorder.
After
you
start
recording,
the
POV.HD
records
continuously
until
you
stop
recording,
and
what
you’ve
recorded
is
stored
in
a
file,
called
a
“clip”
on
the
SDHC
card.
•
Loop
allows
you
to
select
what
action
to
record
and
save,
without
the
need
to
be
constantly
starting
and
stopping
the
recorder.
To
use
the
Loop
method
you
must
set
Record
Method
to
Loop
and
the
Loop
Record
Time
to
an
interval
that
is
appropriate
for
your
situation.
(More
on
that
in
a
moment.)
These
are
set
using
settings.
•
Loop
and
Forward
works
like
Loop,
except
that
once
you’ve
captured
the
first
Loop
clip
by
pressing
Tag
or
REC/TAG
the
recorder
saves
the
previous
segment
plus
all
of
the
video
from
that
point
until
you
stop
recording.
