Aperture, shutter speed, metering mode, white balance, sensitivity, exposure value compensation?
Aperture:Amount of light
Shutter: YI Action Camera's shutter is for taking ordinary pictures and timed pictures. It determines after the shutter is activated whether to prolong exposure
· Shutter speeds:Automatic, 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 30s
· Shooting speeds:1/4096 to 30s
Metering mode: Calculate brightness range. YI Action Camera has center and spot metering modes.
White balance: Users can change the white balance to adjust the overall photo/video color.
White Balance Settings |
Recommended Light Conditions |
Automatic (default) |
Automatically adjusts the white balance via environment, without human intervention. |
Native |
The original color |
Tungsten |
3000K, tungsten or sunrise / sunset lighting conditions |
Daylight |
5500K, cool fluorescent, average daylight conditions |
Cloudy |
6500K,cloudy environmental conditions |
Sensitivity: Change the camera settings for photosensitivity under low-light environments. Enhance the brightness for photos and videos. The higher the ISO, the brighter the captured photo or video and the greater the noisyness resulting in a grainier result. The opposite is true as well.
ISO-MAX for Video |
Resulting Video Quality |
Automatic (default) |
Automatically adjusts the sensitivity according to the environmental conditions |
400 |
Darker video in low light, minimum image noise |
1600 |
Moderately bright video in low light, moderate image noise |
6400 |
Brighter video in low light, highest image noise |
ISO-MAX and ISO-MIN for Photo |
Resulting Photo Quality |
Automatic (default) |
Automatically adjusts the sensitivity according to the environmental conditions |
100 |
Bright photo in outdoor daylight, minimal image noise |
200 |
Bright photo in indoor lighting, marginal image noise |
400 |
Darker photo in low light, moderate image noise |
800 |
Darker photo in very low light, increased image noise |
Exposure compensation: Affects video and photo brightness. When shooting in contrasting light conditions, adjust to control the brightness of the video or photo. Value adjustment will by default increase the brightness of the video or photo.
