Hello,
I have the YI 4K Action Cam and I want to edit the Fisheye with the Powerdirector tool. Anybody know what´s the best adjustment for the YI 4K Cam?

Thank you very

There are actually several different viewing angles on that cam (or at least there are on the Action+ version). They range from moderate to wide to ultra wide, and they're available under the settings (gear) icon. Not all resolutions/frame rates offer different fields of view, however.

Here's a set of images I made last year from a static position to test out how the different field of view settings look:

As you can see there are differing amounts of fisheye distortion, depending on how wide your field of view setting is.

If you'd like to correct for this in PD, I suggest trying out the various available presets until you find one that's close, then try tweaking the settings a step or two in each direction to see which gives you the best look.
