GoPro HERO10 Black Bones

Your camera gives you two ways to adjust modes and settings.

QR CODES

All modes and settings can be changed in a flash using QR codes. You can pull from a library of codes that's been set up to handle basic camera functions and commonly used settings or create custom codes to set up your camera exactly as you need for specialized shots.

  1. With your camera on, scan the QR code sized at 1.5" x 1.5".

  2. Your camera's status light will blink twice to confirm that the code has been scanned and that all modes and settings have been adjusted.

To learn more, access QR codes and create your own, go to gopro.com/bones.

📘

PRO TIP: QR codes are especially useful when Wi-Fi is unavailable or when it's inconvenient to pair your camera to the GoPro Quik app.

THE GOPRO QUIK APP

Pair your camera to the GoPro Quik app for easy access to presets and to adjust the most frequently used modes and settings. The app also lets you preview your shot, frame it perfectly, and see all of the footage stored on your camera's SD card.

Heads Up: Your camera must be within 1 meter of your phone to pair with the app.

📘

PRO TIP: Use the GoPro Quik app to automatically transform your footage into awesome video stories synced with effects and music.

BETAFLIGHT

You can use BetaFlight to set up shutter control for your camera. Connect your flight controller to the BetaFlight configurator. From the command line interface (CLI) execute these commands:

resource <free_pad_name> <optional number> NONE
resource PINIO 1 <your_pad_id>
set pinio_config = 129,1,1,1
set pinio_box = 40,255,255,255
save

Replace "free_pad_name" and "your_pad_id" with an available resource on your flight controller. If PINIO 1 is not available, you will need to adjust the command for your drone. Be sure to save your flight controller configuration before making any changes.
