Hello, today I'm going to be looking at
using your GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition camera in looping mode.
AdoramaTV presents, Capture the Action with Martin Dorey.
Hello I'm Martin Dorey and you are watching AdoramaTV
we're back in the studio today, we're going to be talking about looping mode
on your GoPro cameras I've also be down to The FlowRider
to demonstrate just how it works.
Looping video is a really cool feature that
means you can run and run and run your camera
until something good happens then instead of
wading through hours and hours of boring footage
it'll overwrite files so you can find the good stuff really quickly.
What? Why? Ok, imagine you're learning a new skill
or doing a sport where you get periods of inactivity
with short bursts of action, now you don't want to miss a thing
but you so don't want to wade through hours of footage, that's when you need
looping mode. You can set looping mode in periods of 5, minutes
20 minutes, 60 minutes or 120 minutes.
What the camera will do will record for five minutes
and then it will start again at the beginning of that file so it will
overwrite that file so you will have continuous 5 minutes
and so if nothing exciting happens in that time, so what!
Setting it up is easy, turn on your GoPro
go to settings then capture settings and scroll through to looping video.
Then select one of the time options to set it
press the shutter and hold for two seconds to return to shooting.
Now you're ready, do beware though that using your camera in
Protune will affect the looping settings and times.
So the next time you hit record the camera will begin to record for the time
that you set,
when it gets to the end of that time that says 5 minutes, it will go back and
overwrite that file from the beginning and so it will keep on going
until you press the shutter again so if nothing happens in that time you've wasted no memory.
But then imagine you get a great ride, you don't want the camera to overwrite that so
the next thing you need to do is press the button again
and it will save that clip as a file now the next time you press the shutter
it will begin a new looping file, and again if you stand up at that point
press the shutter again and it will save that as a separate file
so you'll never lose any of your action.
In max mode though
your camera is going to keep recording until it runs out of memory so if you want to capture
a long piece of action, make sure you use the biggest SD card you've got
and also don't forget that the higher the resolution, the more memory it's
going to use up
so the quicker it's going to use up your SD card, and the lower resolution
the longer your clips are going to be.
So if quality is not important but going for
a longer period of recording is, go for a lower resolution.
Now GoPro say that a 64 GB SD card
shooting at 1080 resolution at 30 frames per second will last for 7 hours
which is absolutely incredible but I'm pretty sure your battery is going to run
out before you get to the end of it.
Ok that's it for now
next time we're going to be out with my dog Bob testing out GoPro's
amazing fetch dog harness, and it should be
fun! Thank you for joining me on AdoramaTV today,
