I can not change to Narrow, when im in the 720p mode ?!

@FallenCoffee Probably that was disabled because image quality would suffer too bad from it...

[speedcontrol21]

whats fov?

[DJaysParadise]

@speedcontrol21 FOV stands for Field Of View. This value indicates how much you can see from the position of the lense. A wide FOV (big angle) offers an images that covers alot of what is in front of the lense. A narrow FOV (small angle) gives a better feeling for pace e.g. when the camera is mounted on a motorcycle.

Thanks for this.. And what does it mean "at medium lowlight." What is an option and where it can be set to Hero2?

[DJaysParadise]

@clarky2495 I just noticed that the shots were taken at low light conditions which means that the image quality slightly suffers...

[HowsTheHonda]

can you use narrow mode when in 1080?

[ZoomZoomVids]

Thanks for posting this!  It's pretty much exactly what I was wanting to see as I contemplate buying a Hero2.

@DJaysParadise yea that makes sense considering the the narrow view is a cropped version of the full view. thats pixelation, nothing you can about that but try to boost its speed and resolution output.

@DJaysParadise it´s the new one (GoPro 2 Motorsport)

I found the settings, but why there is only middle and narrow in full hd and not also in normal hd?? :SS
