Choosing the lens for your field

The camera can only follow a ball it can see. On a big pitch a far-away ball is tiny at 1x, so tracking misses it. Zooming in makes it bigger, as long as the field still fits as the camera pans.

Which lens

Pick the field size in setup and KickCam chooses the matching lens. The Ready screen shows which lens you're on, and you can change it there or with the lens buttons while recording.

• 11-a-side: 2x.
• 9-a-side: 2x. These pitches are usually nearly as wide as a full one.
• 7-a-side and smaller: 1x.
• Futsal and indoor soccer: 1x.

If the camera keeps losing the ball

• On a big pitch, check you're on 2x, not 1x or 0.5x.
• Mount the camera higher (8 ft / 2.5 m or more), level with halfway.
• If the ball is lost, the camera goes one lens wider by itself to find it, then comes back to your lens.

Recording in 4K keeps more detail if you want to zoom in further when editing.
