GoPro HERO11 Black User Manual Tech Specs: Time Lapse
TIMEWARP VIDEO SPEED
You can increase TimeWarp video speed up to 30x to turn longer activities into shareable moments. The default setting is Auto, which automatically sets the speed for you.
You can also set the speed yourself. Use this chart to estimate the length of your videos. For example, recording at 2x speed for 4 minutes will give you about 2 minutes of TimeWarp video.
Speed | Recording Time | Video Length |
|---|---|---|
2x | 1 minute | 30 seconds |
5x | 1 minute | 10 seconds |
10x | 5 minutes | 30 seconds |
15x | 5 minutes | 20 seconds |
30x | 5 minutes | 10 seconds |
Heads Up: Recording times are approximate. The video length may vary depending on the movement in your shot.
Speed | Examples |
|---|---|
2x–5x | Driving through a scenic route. |
10x | Hiking and exploring. |
15x–30x | Running and mountain biking. |
📘PRO TIP: For the best results, leave the speed on the Auto setting when shooting footage that may get bumpy.
SPEED RAMP (TIMEWARP)
Tap the rear touch screen while recording TimeWarp to ramp down the speed of your video. Tap again to speed it back up. Choose the speed before recording by tapping 
on the capture screen or going to the TimeWarp settings menu. There are two options:
Speed | Frames per Second | Sound |
|---|---|---|
Real Speed (1x) | 30 fps | On |
Half Speed (0.5x slo-mo) | 60 fps | Off |
📘PRO TIP: You can also use the Mode button
to activate Speed Ramp. Scroll down to Shortcuts in the setting menu to set it up.

NIGHT LAPSE INTERVAL
Choose how often your GoPro snaps a shot in Night Lapse mode. Night Lapse intervals are Auto; 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 seconds; and 1, 2, 5, 30, and 60 minutes.
Auto (default) syncs the Interval with the Shutter setting. If the shutter speed is set to 10 seconds and the Interval is set to Auto, your camera will take a shot every 10 seconds.
Interval | Examples |
|---|---|
Auto | Great for all exposures (captures as quickly as possible depending on the Shutter setting). |
4–5 seconds | Evening city scene, street lighting, or scenes with movement. |
10–15 seconds | Dim lighting with slow scene changes, such as night clouds with a bright moon. |
20–30 seconds | Very low light or very slow scene changes, like stars with minimal ambient or street light. |
