GoPro HERO7 Black User Manual Capturing Time Lapse

Your GoPro has four Time Lapse capture modes: TimeWarp Video, Time Lapse Video, Time Lapse Photo, and Night Lapse Photo. Each mode has its own settings.

TIMEWARP VIDEO

HERO7 Black lets you speed up time by capturing super stabilized time lapse video while you’re on the move. This makes it perfect for mountain bike runs, hikes, and more. The default settings are 1440p video with a 4:3 aspect ratio and Wide field of view at 10x speed.

TIME LAPSE VIDEO

Time Lapse Video lets you turn long events into short shareable videos. It’s great for sunsets, street scenes, and more when your camera is still. The default settings are 1440p video with a 4:3 aspect ratio, Wide field of view, and 0.5-second interval.

TIME LAPSE PHOTO

Time Lapse Photo lets you focus on your activity instead of on your camera. It takes a continuous series of photos that you can look through to find the best shots later. The default settings are 0.5-second intervals with a Wide field of view.

NIGHT LAPSE PHOTO

Night Lapse Photo was made for capturing a series of photos in dark environments. The shutter stays open longer to let in more light. The default shutter speed and interval are set to Auto with the field of view set to Wide.

Tap the settings to adjust the video resolution, field of view, and more.

RESOLUTION (TIMEWARP + TIME LAPSE VIDEO)

Select the video resolution (RES) and aspect ratio for your shot. The higher the resolution, the more detail you’ll get in your footage.

SPEED (TIMEWARP VIDEO)

Set your video speed. Choose a lower speed (2x or 5x) for short activities or higher speeds (10x, 15x or 30x) for longer activities.

FOV

All TimeWarp and Time Lapse videos are captured with a Wide field of view. Time Lapse and Night Lapse photos can be captured in either a Wide or Linear FOV.

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