FIELD OF VIEW PHOTO
The eld of view (FOV) refers to how much of the scene is captured
by your camera. MAX takes photos using two elds of view.
FOV Description
Wide
Large eld of view that’s great for action shots
where you want to capture as much as possible
within the frame.
Linear
Mid-range eld of view that removes the sheye
eect of Wide. Perfect for aerial footage and any
time you want a more traditional perspective.
RAW FORMAT
When this setting is turned on, all photos are saved as a .jpg image (for
viewing on your camera or sharing with the GoPro app) and a .gpr le.
The .gpr le is based on the Adobe .dng format. These les can be used
