GoPro HERO10 Black Bones User Manual Capturing Time Lapse

Time Lapse turns long events into short, shareable videos by taking a frame of video at set intervals. Your GoPro has three Time Lapse presets that you can select using a QR code or the GoPro Quik app. All you have to do is press the Shutter button to start recording, and then press it again to stop.

TIMEWARP (DEFAULT)

HERO10 Black Bones lets you speed up time by using TimeWarp video stabilization to capture ultra smooth time lapse video while you’re on the move. This preset captures 1080p video with the Wide digital lens while automatically adjusting your capture speed for the best results.

Press the Mode button while recording to activate Speed Ramp. This slows down your TimeWarp to real speed or half speed. Press the Mode button again to speed back up.

TIME LAPSE

Use this preset to capture time lapse video when your camera is mounted and still. It’s great for sunsets, street scenes, art projects, and other shots that unfold over a long period of time. It records 1080p video with the Wide digital lens while capturing a shot every 0.5 seconds.

NIGHT LAPSE

Night Lapse was made to capture time lapse video in dark and low-light environments. It automatically adjusts the shutter speed to let in more light and picks the interval that will give you the best results. It records 1080p video with the Wide digital lens. Night Lapse isn’t recommended for handheld or mounted shots when the camera is moving.

PRO TIP: Your camera can also capture Time Lapse and Night Lapse photos. Simply go to Format in settings and chose Photo.
