it depends what your filming. read the manual for one. I prefer 3 for skiing.

3 (720p) gives you the widest viewing angle and also is at 60fps so you can slomo the footage. If you are shooting timelapses i might suggest using 5 (1080p) so you can pan around the frame.

or just use a regular digital photo camera on sequence, add those frames together as a video sequence and that way you actually have 16MP pictures to scroll around through during the time lapse.


But I agree, setting 3 is the way to go for skiing.  If the 960p had a 60fps setting I would use that for skiing, but it doesn't.
