If you’re into winter sports, you know low temps are brutal on battery life. While it improves performance in all environments, it really shines in the cold. GoPro is supercharging the HERO10 experience with a whole new battery available starting Nov. Shooting at 24fps means the exposure time for each individual shot can be more than twice as long, allowing more than twice as much light to get to the sensor.Ĭinematic quality, low-light capable, what more could you want with 24fps?!īONUS: Don't Forget About the High-Performance Enduro Battery Think about it: If you’re shooting at 60fps, that’s 60 individual still images per second, so the longest any of those shots can be is 1/60 th of a second. There’s another great reason to shoot in 24fps: It’s the best setting for low-light. Shooting at 24fps natively (as opposed to shooting at 30p and then converting it to 24p in your editing software) will produce the highest image quality results. 24fps looks like what we think of as cinematic-crisp, yet smooth and detailed. In all honesty, not everyone can see the difference, but those six frames per second definitely change the look and feel of your video. So, why would someone want 24fps? Well, it’s simple: It looks really good! While 30fps has long been the default for TV and video, 24fps has been the standard for movies. That’s why the HERO10’s ability to shoot 2.7K and 1080p at 240fps is a big deal you can slow it down as much as 10x if your final video is going to be 24p (i.e. We folks in the action cam biz tend to spend a lot of time talking about high frame rates, and for good reason: the higher the frames per second (FPS), the more you can slow down your footage for buttery-smooth slo-mo. 24fps-Wait, why is this important? What is it used for? Previously, Max Lens Mod only had 2.7K 60fps in a 16:9 aspect ratio.ģ. We’re also introducing support for 2.7K 4:3 at 60 and 30 frames per second with Max Lens Mod on HERO10 Black-this aspect ratio will hands down get you the best POV on HERO10. Max Lens Mod will keep the horizon locked, stabilization level and your content looking crisp. With Max HyperSmooth + Horizon Lock you can spin the camera a full 360˚ and the horizon stays 100% level the entire time. HERO10 Black has horizon leveling built in with the Linear + Horizon Leveling digital lens, but this has a limitation tilt of 45˚. To build upon our SuperView focus, Max Lens Mod unleashes the widest, most immersive 155˚ field of view ever on a HERO camera with Max SuperView AND unlocks Max HyperSmooth stabilization with an incredible 360˚ horizon lock. For those not familiar, Max Lens Mod is a physical lens (sold separate) that you swap onto the camera itself to max out your stabilization, field of view and creativity. We first introduced Max Lens Mod in 2020 with HERO9 Black, and thanks to having almost identical formfactors, it’s now coming to HERO10 Black, too. And, it’s not just coming to 30fps, but to 60fps, too! The amount of horsepower it takes to pull that off is absurd, but luckily HERO10 Black with the new GP2 processor has the ponies to pull it off. SuperView has been an integral part of GoPro cameras for years, but this is the first time it’s been available in our highest resolution: 5.3K. PRO TIP: SuperView is amazing for getting the most visual contest in POV shots, but it also turns over some awesome, creative shots from selfie sticks, the nose of your surfboard and other mounting angles that put you close to the camera. So, SuperView does it all for you-in camera! It uses the whole sensor-capturing your handlebars, the trail ahead AND the tree line above- and delivers it in a 16:9 output using an algorithm to ensure that it doesn’t look distorted. Now, you could shoot in a 4:3 mode and then manually edit into a 16:9 format in post, but frankly, it’s really hard to pull that off. This lost context is what makes your POV more compelling. If you shoot in 16:9, you won’t see much of the front wheel or the trail ahead, and if you do, you’ll almost certainly lose the treetops and sky, making the video feel boxed-in. One of the best examples for SuperView is mountain biking with your camera mounted on a Chesty. So, cameras generally crop the top and bottom of a 4:3 shot to make it 16:9, but that’s not great for action and movement in footage-enter, GoPro and SuperView. (If it does, feel free to read ahead ya SuperView super user!) The image sensor on essentially all cameras has a 4:3 ratio, but most of the videos we shoot (especially if intended for a modern TV or screen) will be in the wider, more horizontal 16:9 ratio. If that doesn’t make sense, let’s back track a bit. the whole camera sensor) and delivers it in a 16:9 format. SuperView takes a 4:3 aspect ratio frame (a.k.a. SuperView, for those of you who don’t know, is one of our most immersive digital lens options. This one has been high on our wish list for a long time, and Santa’s bringing it a couple weeks early.
