ASPECT RATIO

Aspect ratio refers to the width and height of an image. Your camera captures footage in the 16:9 widescreen format, tall 4:3 format, and ultra immersive 8:7 aspect ratios.

To learn more, see Aspect Ratio (Video).

RESOLUTION

Resolution refers to the number of horizontal lines used in a frame of video. The more lines, the more detail there is in the shot. Your camera can capture 5.3K, 4K, 2.7K, and 1080p footage.

To learn more, see Video Resolution (RES).

LENS

Choose the best digital lens for your shot—SuperView, HyperView, Linear, Linear + Horizon Lock/Leveling, or Wide. Available lenses will vary based on the resolution and frame rate you select.

To learn more, see Digital Lenses (Video).

FRAMES PER SECOND

Frames per second (fps) refers to the number of frames captured in each second of video. Use higher frame rates to capture fast action or slo-mo shots. Available frame rates vary based on resolution.

To learn more, see Frames Per Second (FPS).

SPEED (TIMEWARP)

Set your video speed. Choose a lower speed (2x or 5x) for short activities or higher speeds (10x, 15x, or 30x) for longer activities. Leave speed on Auto (default) to let your GoPro automatically adjust the speed based on motion, scene detection, and lighting.

TRAIL LENGTH EFFECT (STAR TRAILS, LIGHT PAINTING, VEHICLE LIGHT TRAILS)

Set the length of light trails when capturing Star Trails footage. Choose Max for continuous trails with no breaks, long trails, or short trails.

SHUTTER (STAR TRAILS, LIGHT PAINTING, VEHICLE LIGHT TRAILS, NIGHT LAPSE)

Set how long your camera’s shutter stays open for night shots. Choose longer exposures for darker shots.

To learn more, see Shutter (Star Trails, Light Painting, Vehicle Light Trails, Night Lapse).

INTERVAL (TIME LAPSE)

Choose how often your camera captures a frame of video. Use shorter intervals for quick activities and longer intervals for extended activities.

To learn more, see Interval (Time Lapse).

INTERVAL (NIGHT LAPSE)

Set how often your camera takes a shot in low and ultra low-light scenes. Leave Interval on Auto (default) to let your GoPro automatically set the interval. Choose short intervals for scenes with a lot of movement and more light. Use longer intervals in scenes with little or no movement or light.

To learn more, see Interval (Night Lapse).

HYPERSMOOTH (VIDEO)

Perfect for biking, skiing, handheld shots, and more, HyperSmooth video stabilization delivers insanely smooth, gimbal-like footage without the gimbal. The available settings are Off, On (default), Boost, and AutoBoost.
