GoPro Fusion User Manual PHOTO MODE: CAPTURE MODES
Photo mode contains three capture modes: Single (default), Night, and Burst. All photos are captured at 18MP with a Spherical FOV. Each capture mode has its own settings. For details about how to change settings, see Changing Modes and Settings.
SINGLE
Single captures a single photo when you press the Shutter button. For more information, see these topics:
RAW Format
Protune
NIGHT
Night captures photos in dim to dark light. The shutter remains open longer to let in more light in dark environments, so Night photo is not recommended for handheld shots or mounted shots where the camera might move during exposure. For more information, see these topics:
Shutter (Night Photo)
Protune
BURST
Burst captures up to 30 photos in 1 second, so it is perfect for capturing fast-moving activities. For more information, see these topics:
Rate
Protune
RATE
This setting applies only to Burst. Available rates:
30 photos in 1, 2, 3, or 6 seconds
10 photos in 1, 2, or 3 seconds
5 photos in 1 second
3 photos in 1 second
The default rate is 30 photos in 1 second.
SHUTTER (NIGHT PHOTO)
Within Photo mode, Shutter applies only to Night Photo. This setting lets you determine the amount of time that the shutter is open. The options for this setting are Auto, and 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 seconds. The default option is 2 seconds.
Settings | Examples |
|---|---|
Auto (up to 2 sec) | Sunrise, sunset, dawn, dusk, twilight, night |
2 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec | Dawn, dusk, twilight, traffic at night, Ferris wheel, fireworks, light painting |
20 sec | Night sky (with light) |
30 sec | Night stars, Milky Way (complete darkness) |
📘PRO TIP: To reduce the amount of blur when using Night photo, mount your camera on the Fusion Grip tripod or other surface that is stable and cannot move.
RAW FORMAT
When this setting is turned on, all photos are captured with an accompanying .jpg image for immediate viewing on your camera or sharing with the GoPro app. RAW photos are saved as .gpr files, which are based on the Adobe .dng format. These files can be used in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), version 9.7 or later. You can also use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC (2015.7 release or later) and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (version 6.7 or later).
RAW Format is available only for the Photo capture mode. The options for this setting are Off (default) and On.
📘PRO TIP: Photos in .gpr format are captured in the same location and with the same file name as .jpg files. To access them, insert your microSD cards into a card reader and locate the files with your computer’s file explorer.
PROTUNE
Within Photo mode, Protune is available for all capture modes (Photo, Night, and Burst). For details about Protune settings, see Protune.
