What is Boomerang Mode?

Boomerangs are short 1 to 4 second video clips that repeatedly play forward, then backward in a loop. 

You can adjust the length of the unlooped video recording from the Boomerang capture mode configuration screen to provide guests with more time to get in all of their best moves!

What To Know
Unlooped Video Duration

Unlooped Video Duration is the length of recording time. The final Boomerang capture plays through this duration and duplicates the entire capture in reverse, doubling the total playback time. If you set a 1.0s Unlooped Video Duration, your final Boomerang capture will be 2-seconds long.
