GoPro HERO10 Black Bones User Manual Tech Specs: Photo
SUPERPHOTO
SuperPhoto automatically analyzes the scene and intelligently applies the best image processing for the shot.
Depending on the lighting, movement in your shot, and other conditions, SuperPhoto will choose one of three options:
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Our improved HDR takes and combines multiple photos into a single shot to bring out the details in scenes that mix bright light and shadows.
Multi-Frame Noise Reduction
Automatically combines multiple shots into a single photo with less digital distortion (noise).
Standard Photo
Includes Local Tone Mapping, which enhances photos by boosting the details and contrast only where it’s needed.
SuperPhoto only works for single photos. Because of the extra time needed to apply image processing, it may take a little longer to process and save each shot.
Heads Up: SuperPhoto does not work with RAW photos. .
Turning SuperPhoto Off
SuperPhoto is on by default. Here’s how to turn it off.
Use a QR code or tap after connecting to the GoPro Quik app
Tap Output and switch to Standard, HDR, or RAW.
HDR
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is one of the image-processing techniques SuperPhoto uses to enhance your shots. It combines multiple shots into a single photo with better results than ever. Choose this setting if you want to use HDR every time you take a photo.
Use a QR code or tap after connecting to the GoPro Quik app.
Tap Output and select HDR.
HDR On can only be used for single photos. For the best results, use it in high-contrast shots with minimal motion.
Heads Up: HDR does not work with RAW photos.
NIGHT EXPOSURE (NIGHT + NIGHT LAPSE PHOTO)
Shutter speed lets you decide how long your camera’s shutter stays open in Night and Night Lapse Photo modes. Here are your options, plus tips on when to use them:
Speed | Examples |
---|---|
Auto (up to 30 seconds) | Sunrise, sunset, dawn, dusk, twilight, night. |
2, 5, 10, or 15 seconds | Dawn, dusk, twilight, traffic at night, Ferris wheel, fireworks, light painting. |
20 seconds | Night sky (with light). |
30 seconds | Night stars, Milky Way (complete darkness). |
📘PRO TIP: To reduce blur when using Night and Night Lapse photo, mount your camera on a tripod or place it on a stable surface where it won’t wobble or shake.
BURST RATE
Capture fast-action scenes with one of these high-speed settings:
Auto (up to 25 photos in 1 second based on lighting conditions)
30 photos in 3, 6, or 10 seconds
25 photos in 1 second
10 photos in 1 or 3 seconds
5 photos in 1 second
3 photos in 1 second
DIGITAl LENSES (PHOTO)
Digital lenses let you choose how much of the scene is captured by your camera. They also affect the zoom level and fisheye effect in your shot. There are three lens options for photos:
Digital Lens | Description |
---|---|
Wide (16–34mm) | Wide field of view that captures as much as possible within the frame. |
Linear (19–39mm) | Wide field of view without the fisheye effect of Wide. |
Narrow (27mm) | Narrow field of view without the fisheye effect of Wide. |
📘PRO TIP: Use Max Lens Mod (sold separately) to boost your field of view with an ultra-wide 155° digital lens—the widest ever on a HERO camera.
RAW FORMAT
When this setting is turned on, all photos are saved as a .jpg image (for viewing on your camera or sharing with the GoPro Quik app) and a .gpr file.
The .gpr file is 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).
In Photo mode, RAW Format is available for Photo, Burst, Night, Time Lapse photo, and Night Lapse photo, with these conditions and exceptions:
SuperPhoto must be off.
Digital lenses must be set to Wide.
Zoom must be off.
RAW Format is not available for capturing continuous photos.
For Time Lapse photo, the Interval must be at least 5 seconds.
For Night Lapse photo, the Shutter setting must be at least 5 seconds.
📘PRO TIP: Photos in .gpr format are saved in the same location and with the same file name as .jpg files. To access the files, insert your SD card into a card reader and locate them with your computer’s file explorer.
