Photo Exposure Types
You can use several photo exposure types to take single
photos.
Standard
: Takes a single photo at standard exposure. This
option is useful for most daytime photos.
Bracket
: Takes three consecutive photos automatically, using
three different exposure values (exposure bracketing). This
option is useful for composing high dynamic range
(HDR) photos.
Recording 5.7K RAW Video
Using the Garmin VIRB app, you can set the camera to record
high-bitrate RAW video at 5.7K resolution. This mode allows you
to capture the highest level of detail in all directions.
When recording in RAW mode, the camera records separate
hemispherical video files from each lens. You can stitch these
files into a spherical video using video editing software.
NOTE:
5.7K mode is a highly demanding mode that causes your
camera to work harder. The camera's battery run time, memory
card recording time, and ability to operate in hot environments
are reduced. The camera protects itself from overheating and
shuts down automatically if the internal temperature exceeds the
operating temperature threshold.

Recording a Video Loop
You can use the Garmin VIRB app to set your camera to record
a video loop. Loop recording allows you to record video
continuously but save only the most recent video footage. You
can select the number of minutes of video to save. This enables
you to save storage space when you want to capture key
moments but do not want to save all footage of an activity. This
feature is useful when using the device as a driving recorder or
when you want to save only the highlights of an event.

Recording a Time-Lapse or Travelapse
™
Video
You can use the Garmin VIRB app to set up the time-lapse
recording mode for your camera. Time-lapse mode captures
individual video frames at longer intervals and creates a video
that plays much faster than real time. You can record a standard
time-lapse video or a Travelapse video.
Standard time-lapse mode captures individual video frames at
set time intervals, and it is useful for recording movements,
changes, or events that take place slowly over a long period of
time. Travelapse mode captures video frames at a set distance
interval. For example, you can capture one video frame for
every kilometer or mile you travel on a road trip. This allows you
to record and share a short video of your whole road trip and the
places you traveled.
