The secret menu allows you to modify the Resolution from 720 to 1080p drastically increasing the quality of the hyperlapse video and the FPS between 24 and 30 frames, the secret menu can be accessed by doing the following:

  2. with 4 fingers tap the display 4 times in a row
  3. Once in the menu change the resolution to 1080p
  4. Hit the “Done” button
