A portable battery-operated apparatus for capturing and recording still and video images (so-called ‘action camera’) with dimensions of approximately 6 × 4 × 2 cm and a weight of approximately 74 g, comprising: — an ultra wide angle camera lens, —a liquid crystal device (LCD) status indicator, — micro USB and micro HDMI interfaces, — a slot for micro SD card, — built in WiFi, — a port for optional accessories. The apparatus does not have a zoom, viewfinder or a screen for displaying recorded images. The apparatus is not designed to be held in the hand but to be mounted on, for example, a helmet. It is presented to be used for capturing dynamic impressions of the environment as experienced during outdoor activities such as biking, surfing and skiing. The video quality can be adjusted ranging from 848 × 480 to 1 920 × 1 080 pixels. Still images can only be recorded in a 5,0 megapixel quality. The quality for still images (such as image sharpness, colour, object composition) cannot be adjusted on the apparatus. The apparatus is capable of capturing and recording video files in MPEG4 format. The highest video recording is in a resolution of 1 920 x 1 080 pixels at 30 frames per second for a continuous period of maximum three hours with a fully charged battery. The capturing can only be stopped by the user. The captured images are recorded in separate files lasting approximately 15 minutes each. Upon presentation files can be transferred to the apparatus from an automatic data-processing machine via the USB interface.
