Video Resolution Best Use
Use for body-mounted shots and when
slow motion is desired. Aspect ratio of 4:3
960p
provides large viewing area and smooth results
for high action capture.

720p

Narrow FOV.
Good when super slow motion and Wide FOV are
480p

FRAMES PER SECOND (FPS)
Frames per second (FPS) refers to the number of video frames that are
captured in each second.
When selecting a resolution and FPS, consider the activity that you want
to capture. Higher resolutions result in greater detail and clarity, but are
generally available at lower fps values. Lower resolutions result in less detail
and clarity, but support higher FPS values, which are important for capturing
motion. Higher FPS values can also be used to create slow-motion videos.

ASPECT RATIO

GoPro video resolutions use two aspect ratios: either 16:9 or 4:3. Standard
televisions and editing programs use 16:9. Footage shot in 4:3 is 33%
taller, but must be cropped to 16:9 for playback on a TV. (If footage is not
cropped, it appears with black bars on the sides of the image.)
