GoPro HERO7 Black User Manual Recording Video

Your GoPro has two Video capture modes: Video and Looping. Each has its own settings.

VIDEO

This mode shoots traditional video in resolutions up to 4K. The default settings are 1440p60 video with a 4:3 aspect ratio and Wide field of view, with Video Stabilization and Auto Low Light both set to Auto.

LOOPING VIDEO

Looping lets you record continuously, but only save the moments you want. Use it when you’re waiting for something to happen (like fishing) or when nothing may happen (like a dashcam).

Here’s how it works:

1. If you select 5-minute intervals, only the previous 5 minutes are saved when you press the Shutter button to stop recording.

2. If you record for 5 minutes and don’t press the Shutter button , your camera will loop back and record over the start of the video.

The default settings for Looping are 1440p60 video with a 4:3 aspect ratio and Wide field of view with a 5 minute duration.
