ASPECT RATIO

Aspect ratio refers to the width and height of an image. HERO8 Black
captures videos and photos in two aspect ratios.
4:3
The tall 4:3 format captures more of the scene than the 16:9 widescreen
format. It's great for selfies and point-of-view footage. The 4:3 resolutions
are listed in the top row of the RES | FPS screen.
16:9
This is the standard format used for HDTV and editing programs.
The widescreen format is ideal for capturing dramatic cinematic
footage. The 16:9 resolutions are listed below the 4:3 resolutions
on the RES | FPS screen.
Heads Up: Black bars will appear on both sides of the screen when
playing back 4:3 footage on an HDTV.
