- 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.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/1.9" (6.74 x 5.05 mm)
- Digital Zoom: 2x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image Stabilization: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 360 Degree Capture: true (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)

- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 240 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
