Looking for a GoPro or Contour?
Ready to step up your POV camera game and capture those epic moments on the mountain, waves, or wherever your adventure takes you?
Choosing the right Point of View (POV) camera.
Understanding the Tech Jargon:
Display Resolution: More pixels = bigger screen = higher quality. Common HD resolutions are 720p and 1080p.
Frames Per Second (fps): Higher fps = smoother slow-motion shots. 60fps or above is your go-to for epic slow-mo.
White Balance: Adjusts color temperature for realistic colors.
Exposure: Controls the light hitting the sensor. Too little = dark pics, too much = washed-out.
Contrast: Makes objects pop by enhancing color and shading differences.
Sharpness: The sharper, the better! It's all about that sweet detail.
Metering: Takes the guesswork out by automatically setting exposure based on light levels.
Photo Quality: Measured in mega-pixels (MP). More MP = higher quality photos.
