Can anyone tell me how to select 20M stills option, or are stills always shot at 20M? I'm having trouble finding information on this in the manual or anywhere.. I've been through the camera settings in the GO app but just can't find any options relating to this, so I don't know whether the stills I'm shooting are 20M or not.
Also, I know that there are different bitrates available for video, but I also cannot find any options for changing this or to know what bitrate I am filming in.

this is all the information I can find in relation to it in the manual

                                                 2720×1530 48/50/60p @100Mbps FHD: 1920×1080 24/25/30p @60Mbps 1920×1080 48/50/60p @80Mbps
                                                 1920×1080 120p @100Mbps HD: 1280×720 24/25/30p @30Mbps 1280×720 48/50/60p @45Mbps
                                                 1280×720 120p @80Mbps


if I'm just being dumb that's cool, please point me in the right direction.. any help is appreciated!

ok.. so going off the manual still sizes are:

3:2 Aspect Ratio: 5472 × 3648
4:3 Aspect Ratio: 4864 × 3648
16:9 Aspect Ratio: 5472 × 3078

5472 × 3648 = 19,961,856p
4864 × 3648 = 17,743,872p
5472 × 3078 = 16,842,816p

so I take it that we are calling 19,961,856p close enough to 20Mp?

please someone tell me if I'm missing something? I can take it

You've got it.
Shoot in 3:2 and you are capturing 20 milion pixels.

Take care, they are quite rebellious when in captivity.

thanks guys.. so choice of image size in terms of pixel size and scale is 3:2@20Mp, 4:3@18Mp and 16:9@17Mp or thereabouts...

But why would you shoot anything but 3:2?
That way you get as much as you can and you can crop it any way you like later.
Better to have extra pixels than not enough.

yep, well now that I'm aware of that, I have it set to 3:2... maybe it just takes me a little while to catch on..

as to the bitrate I think I just found my answer to that...

H.264
C4K: 4096×2160 24/25/30/48/50/60p @100Mbps 4K: 3840×2160 24/25/30/48/50/60p @100Mbps 2.7K: 2720×1530 24/25/30p @80Mbps
2720×1530 48/50/60p @100Mbps FHD: 1920×1080 24/25/30p @60Mbps 1920×1080 48/50/60p @80Mbps
1920×1080 120p @100Mbps HD: 1280×720 24/25/30p @30Mbps 1280×720 48/50/60p @45Mbps
1280×720 120p @80Mbps

this means that if I'm shooting in H.264 >1920x1080 @50fps the bitrate will be 80Mbps.. I had thoughts that I might be able to shoot with that setting at 100Mbps, but that is only available when shooting at 120fps

correct me if I'm wrong.. please
