Sony IMX117 Lens:
It is a type 1/2.3 approx. 12.40M effective pixel, back-illuminated CMOS image sensor. The light collecting characteristics of the IMX117 lens has been optimized to maximize the light collecting efficiency of the back-illuminated structure. It can widen incident light angle and half the shading. Optical characteristics of this magnitude mean that the sensor can handle bright lenses (higher sensitivity with a lower f-number) and high power zoom lenses. Equipped with the 4K mode and multiple other scanning modes will further broaden the potential of the abundant visual expression. Thus it can make 4K mode action camera has perfect night-visual effect. Camera has built-in Sony IMX117 HD light sensitive sensor. 6 glass lens make it has super night vision effect.
What is Diving Mode:
Diving without extra red filter, can also take wonderful videos and beautiful photos. Now in the market, most of action cameras need to buy an extra red filter to compensate red light when diving. With the extra red filter, photos and videos would look more vivid and colorful. But it is quite inconvenient, and it has certain extra cost. Our action camera has the perfect solution. Diving mode can compensate red light automatically. You will be able to take your dream photos and videos whenever and wherever possible.
Other competitors do not actually have the function of changing the field of view (FOV) of their sensor. Some are actually having the WIDE, NORMAL, NARROW settings only. In some cases, they are fixed either the 170 degree, or 125 degree.

LOOP RECORDING
Determines the the length of each video clip that will be recorded per file name. SUB MENU will give you the following option.The 3 minutes mode will give you a filename of a 3 minutes recorded video.
GYROSCOPE
Mode that will enable and disable the shakiness of your recorded video. Not all Action Sports Camera have this function due to the limitation of the hardware. Without an accelerometer on it. There is no function like this.
WDR or Wide Dynamic Range
Another Powerful function that enable the camera to come up with a greater detail of the recorded video. there will be a greater difference between the brightest and darkest areas.
Time Lapsed Recording
Time-lapse recording is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing
Sub menu will give you option of duration.
Motion Detection
A function of an action cam that allows automatic record when the image sensor find a moving object on their field of view.
Record Audio
To enable or disable audio recording during use. When only video is required, u can just turn off the audio to lessen the space consumption on the SD card. There is a shortcut on the video recorder view. Just press the down button on the left side of the camera to to this instead of going to this menu.
To enable the date and time be included on the recorded file.
Determine the field of View (FOV) of the image sensor. Sub menu are 170 degree, 140 degree, 110 degree and 70 degree. Other camera offers Narrow, wide and super wide settings.
To enable or disable the red filter function of the image sensor during diving, snorkeling. Camera must be fitted with the water proof casing when doing so. The unit itself is not a water proof item.

Version
The firmware and model version of the action camera..Firmware can be upgraded, but be wary that upgrading with the wrong type will bring the camera automatically. so be sure to find the right one before attempting.Firmware fixes bugs and other functionality to a step higher.
Note: Firmware of the camera is the blood of the unit. There are too many of them that can be found on forum, specified site, but make sure the right one is truly entitled to this unit. We heard Soocoo C30 is the compatible firmware, but of course when used. The start up and the shutdown logo will be replaced too.
if u wonder to know what your doing..
here is the link for that firmware.
