Protune ImprovementLock shutter speed (videos) and associated ISO control

● Introduces ability to lock the shutter speed in video mode, or to leave it in auto mode. ● If you choose to lock the shutter speed, it opens up the option to lock the ISO or to set a

maximum.

● New shutter speed setting: Auto, 1/60, 1/120, 1/240 shutter speeds.● New ISO Lock setting: Max, Lock (when Auto not selected for shutter speed)

● For the ISO Lock setting, if you select maximum, the camera will then automatically adjust ISO up to the maximum specified.

● The ISO settings available in video are ISO 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400.

● Good rule of thumb (provided lighting is sufficient) - shoot at a shutter speed twice the frame rate. eg if you are shooting at 60 fps, select 1/120 shutter speed.

Frame Rate vs Shutter SpeedWhat’s the difference?

● Easy to get frame rates and shutter speeds mixed up. They are not the same!

● Frame rate (or frames per second (fps)):

○ refers to the number of individual frames in each second of video.

○ GoPro offers many different frame rates at varying resolutions/video modes including: 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60, 80, 90, 120, and 240 frames per second. There are 53 different modes/combinations in fact - refer last slide for every combination.

● Shutter speed:

○ Is the exposure time per image (ie like stills photography)

○ Changing the shutter speed does NOT change the frame rate, but it WILL affect how your video looks.

○ Good rule of thumb is for a shutter speed twice the frame rate - this will generally provide crisp images in each frame. However, by playing with the shutter speed you can open up some interesting effects:

■ fast shutter speed = crisper but more staccato looking footage

■ slower shutter speed = possible motion blur and a smoother looking video.

■ good demonstration: film running water at different shutter speeds and compare the footage. 4

Protune Improvement Additional white balance settings (photos and videos)

● White balance gives you the ability to control the warmth or coolness of the colours in your footage.

● The old version had pretty big gaps in the range, especially between 3000K and 5500K. ● Gaps have been in-filled with some additional options and adds to the manual control of

the camera.● Applies to both photo and video modes.

● Old firmware (V03.00): Auto, 3000K, 5500K, 6500K, Native● New firmware (V04.00): Auto, 3000K, 4000K, 4800K, 5500K, 4800K, 6500K, Native

Protune Improvement Additional ISO control settings (photos)

● GoPro has introduced 2 x new settings under photos:○ MIN ISO and○ MAX ISO

● Previously only available as ISO LIMIT. ● Great addition - means much better manual control of the camera. ● This is great for applications such as time lapse to help reduce flickering.

● MIN and MAX ISO settings available: 100, 200, 400, 800.

● In video, there is no MIN ISO but there is a new MAX and LOCK ISO function as outlined above - if you choose to lock the shutter speed.

○ The ISO settings available in video are ISO 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400.

Usability Improvements

There has been some improvements to the user interface including:

● Add/remove HiLight Tags directly from the touch display - if you decide it is no longer worthy of a highlight, or you have processed the footage, you can tap highlights on/off.

● Move to the next or previous HiLight Tag in a video - a couple of extra navigation buttons have been introduced to move forwards/backwards through the video. This was a bit clunky in the past so is a good improvement especially with multiple highlight tags.

● Media filters - you can now filter your view by media - ie just view all photos at at time, just videos or all media. This just makes life simpler especially on the small GoPro screen.
