so i just recieved confirmation that my P4P will arrive on monday. whoopwhoop

now i have some questions about the video-settings, since im new to this. i hope somebody can help me out. thank you in advance.

Q1: what is the difference between filming in say

H.265 C4K:4096×2160 25 @100Mbps  and  H.264 C4K:4096×2160 25 @100Mbps

will the H.265 look better? Whats the difference?


Q2: Do i preferably film in H.265 C4K:4096×2160 25 @100Mbps or H.264 C4K:4096×2160 60 @100Mbps ?

Q3: Why is there no 60fps for the H.265  codec?

Q4: how much filming time will i have with 64GB microsd in these modes?

thank you!

H.265 offers about double the data compression ratio then H.264 at the same level of video quality, or substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate

Q1: he pretty much summed it up, it's a different code for compressing the data.

Q2: depends on what you're trying to accomplish, the higher frame rate gives you the ability to slow things down in post for smoother footage or just slow motion.

Q3: I don't have an answer for that

Q4: put an empty card in the drone and turn everything on then switch between the modes. The app will tell you how much recording time is left for each in the upper right quadrant area.

Whenever I switch modes whether it's 4K or 1080. My card storage doesn't change. I am guessing that's not normal?
