GoPro HERO11 Black User Manual HERO11 Black Power Tools

Your GoPro comes with Power Tools—a full suite of smart capture settings that extend the capture options beyond simply pressing the shutter button.

HINDSIGHT

HindSight is a powerful feature that can capture up to 30 seconds of video before you press the Shutter button. This lets you record key moments even after they happen.

Using HindSight

Imagine your kid making the game-winning play during their big game. This is a moment you don’t want to miss. With HindSight on, you can frame your shot, but you don’t have to start recording. You can press the Shutter button after they make the big play. HindSight will save the video it captured before you pressed the Shutter button (up to 30 seconds) and will continue recording until you stop the video.

Setting Up HindSight

1. After choosing a video preset, press and hold the capture settings to go to the settings menu.

   

2. Tap HindSight.

   

3. Set HindSight for either 15 or 30 seconds.

   

The on the rear touch screen will let you know that HindSight is on. Press the Shutter button at any time to start recording.

The indicator at the top center of the screen will turn blue when the HindSight buffer is full. That means that your camera is storing the previous 15 or 30 seconds of video. It will only save the video if you press the Shutter button to start recording.

📘

Heads Up: Make sure that you've locked in the capture settings you want before starting HindSight. You won't be able to change settings once HindSight is on.

You can also tap Stop HindSight at any time to cancel HindSight and save battery power.

Your camera will also pause HindSight if you have not started recording 15 minutes after you turned HindSight on. This is another way to conserve battery power.

📘

Heads Up: HindSight works by capturing video the entire time that it’s on (even when you’re not actively recording). Depending on how you use it, HindSight may use your camera’s battery capacity faster than recording in normal video mode.

SCHEDULED CAPTURE

Scheduled capture lets you set your GoPro to automatically turn itself on and capture a shot up to 24 hours in advance. It’s available for all presets.

Setting Up Scheduled Capture

1. Press and hold the capture settings on the capture screen to go to the settings menu.

   

2. Tap Scheduled Capture.

   

3. Set when you want your GoPro to capture the shot.

   

4. After setting the time, you can turn your GoPro off or continue using your camera’s other presets.

Heads Up: Your GoPro will stay on after taking the shot. It will turn itself off after idling for the length of time set in Preferences.

1. Swipe down on the rear screen to access the Dashboard.

2. Swipe left and tap Preferences > General > Auto Power Off.

📘

PRO TIP: Use duration capture to choose the shot length when using scheduled capture. Your camera will automatically stop recording after it gets the shot. You’ll have to press the Shutter button to stop recording if you’re not using duration capture.

DURATION CAPTURE

Use duration capture to set how long your GoPro records before it stops. It’s available in Video, TimeWarp, Time Lapse, and Night Lapse modes in increments from 15 seconds to 3 hours.

Setting Up Duration Capture

1. Press and hold the capture settings on the capture screen to go to the settings menu.

   

2. Tap Duration.

   

3. Choose the duration for your shot.

   

4. Press the Shutter button to start recording. Your GoPro will automatically stop after recording for the set duration.

Heads Up: Duration capture sets how long your GoPro will record. The length of your final video will vary based on the mode you’re using. TimeWarp and time lapse videos will be shorter than the set duration.

📘

PRO TIP: Choose No Limit to capture footage without a time limit. Press the Shutter button to stop recording.
