The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
    • Maximum Video Frame Rate: 1080p (Full HD) @ 30 FPS (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
    • Photo Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture an image. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)

    • Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
  • Environmental
    • Indoor Or Outdoor Use: Indoor and outdoor (Indicates the appropriate environment product was designed to be used in.)
    • Minimum Operating Temperature: 32 degrees fahrenheit (The lowest recommended ambient (surrounding) temperature in which the product can ideally operate stated by the manufacturer. Generally long-term exposure of the product to temperatures less than the minimum can result in ineffective operation.)
