Mo
Timelapse
Normal high-quality video mode. You can set the video quality to 1080p or
720p, and the frame rate to 30 fps or 60 fps.
*** ADD LINKS TO GLOSSARY
HERE for 1080p etc ****
In SLOW MO or slow motion mode, the camera records at a multiple of the
normal frame rate (2x, 4x, 8x), but stores the video with the normal frame
rate (30 fps) for playback, which results in slow motion video.
Audio and sensor data are also recorded in the slow motion mode.
The
available slow motion rate depends on the video resolution you choose.
When in TIMELAPSE MODE, the camera records a time-lapse video directly as
a video recording at the currently set resolution and at the normal frame
rate.
You can choose the interval between recording. Time-lapse recording stops
when the battery level is low, when the memory card is full or when you
press the STOP button.
No audio is recorded during a time-lapse video, but sensor information is
recorded.
CINEMATIC is the highest resolution mode, capturing video at 4K or 2.7K. For
normal use, you should find that 1080p offers sufficiently high quality video.

covers
The camera is waterproof with the standard IPX7 lens cover (black and white). If you want to use the
camera underwater to depths down to 50 m, fit the optional IPX8 lens cover (black).
Note
: When using the IPX8 lens cover, the microphone and barometer are concealed and hence
don't work with this lens cover.
To remove the lens cover, press the release button (button 4 below) and turn the lens cover.
To fit a lens cover, put the lens cover on the camera lens and turn it until it locks.
Important
: Store the lens cover in its storage bag when you are not using it.
Important
: To prevent damage to the camera lens, never use the camera without a lens cover.
Important
: Do not clean the lens or lens cover with a normal cloth. Use only a cloth and spray
specifically made for cleaning camera lenses.

Adding
sensors
About
sensors
Sensors are used by your Action Camera to record data simultaneously with your video, audio or
photos. This makes it easier for you to find the highlights in the video when reviewing it and adds
context like your GPS trace or a speed graph.
There are two types of sensors for your camera - built-in sensors and external sensors.
Built-in
sensors
For more information about built-in sensors, see Sensors in your camera.
External
sensors
External sensors are external devices that you can link to your camera to provide extra information
about your activity.
You can attach an external heart rate monitor using a Bluetooth Smart (BLE) connection. This sensor
measures your heart rate during your sport or activity. The external TomTom Heart Rate Monitor is
available as an accessory.
Your camera tries to connect to external sensors when recording starts and/or when you look at a
Metrics screen. When recording stops, or the Metrics screen is closed, the connection to the sensor is
dropped.
Note
: Your camera stores a .GPX and a .KML file for each recorded video. These files make it easy
for you to access sensor data directly using a computer. See Using KML and GPX file data - Camera.
The
heart
rate
monitor
To use the external TomTom Heart Rate Monitor with your camera, do the following:
1.
Attach the monitor to the strap.
2.
Attach the strap around your chest, so the monitor sits just above the base of your chest bone.
Make sure the monitor is the right way up so that the word 'TomTom' is the right way up for
someone standing in front of you.
29
Tip
: Wet the sensors on the inside of the strap before placing it around your chest. This makes it
easier for the monitor to pick up your heartbeat.
3.
From the Camera Status screen on your camera, move down to open the
SETTINGS
screen.
4.
Select
GENERAL
then select
CONNECT
.
5.
Select
SENSORS
then move right.
6.
Select
HEART
, then move right to turn it on.
7.
When you begin an activity, your camera connects to the monitor and you see a heart icon at the
top of the screen.
When your camera is trying to connect to the monitor, the heart flashes.
The first time your camera tries to connect to your monitor, if it finds more than one monitor, your
camera doesn't know which monitor to connect to. Move to a place where there are no other
monitors within range of your camera.
When you have connected to your monitor once, your camera always reconnects to your monitor.
You can also use the external Heart Rate Monitor with other Bluetooth® Smart Ready devices and
apps. See the documentation that comes with your product or app for more information.
To change the CR2032 battery on the monitor, use a coin to open the back of the monitor. The battery
must be recycled or disposed of according to local laws and regulations.
Note
: The TomTom Heart Rate Monitor is not waterproof.
