Today I'll talk about the best settings for your GoPro cameras. So this is applied to both newer version and older versions of GoPro They're basically very similar and I'm just going to go over With the GoPro hero 10 which is the newer version of GoPro but if you have an older version you can still match these settings and You're going to have just some of the settings. You may not have Availability on your older version of GoPro, but except that most other settings are going to be the same Hello everyone in this video. I'm going to go over the beginner settings for your GoPro to have the best Video recording possible whether you have an older version of GoPro or a newer version of GoPro So the settings are basically the same for any GoPro But if you have an older version you may not have access to some of the features in the such as in the newer version And I'll try to like, you know, tell you which ones are not available in your older GoPro So the first thing I'd like to mention here that for example, if you have an older version of GoPro You can see here that when you go to the settings So for example, if you just go to the settings here and then you have only one option for settings So for example, if you just click here, you're going to see that, you know, you don't have Different like, you know video settings. You have just only one setting where you have to change everything For example right here, but if you have a newer version of GoPro such as GoPro Hero 10 Then when you go to the settings Then you're going to see that they're like, you know, lots of different options So basically these are some presets GoPro provided for newer versions of GoPro And you don't don't get confused about these. These are for specific purposes But I'm just going to go over the very, you know, general video recording for your GoPro And you don't have to actually like, you know, follow them or follow their settings what they're telling you So what I'm going to do You can just like, you know When you go to your newer version of GoPro, if you see too many, just go to the ones says custom So for example, right here, you can see the custom and just click on it And this is going to be your like, you know, main settings For example, if you have an older version of GoPro, that's going to be actually the only one setting you have access to So for the first thing, you're going to see that resolution and frame per second So a newer version of GoPro, it gives you access to up to 5.3 k So you can see for example right here and if you'd like high resolution Then you can go ahead and do so but just keep in mind that the higher the resolution is going to be Is going to take more Size in the memory card or in the, you know, sd card and also on your computer And also it's going to be more difficult to, you know, edit video recording So I usually don't try to go with 5.3 k and I stick to like, you know, 4 k and if I'm traveling I even lower my resolution to 2.7 k because that gives even much lower file sizes Is still with good quality So if you have older version of GoPro, you're not going to have 5 k the maximum you're going to have access is 4 k So you can just like, you know, uh, set it up to 4 k for older GoPro, but for newer GoPro You can have like an up to 5.3 k But also it's going to give you a lot bigger file size And one thing to remember that GoPro is not very good with low light So if you're doing shooting in low light, then don't go to 5.3 k Stay up to 4 k or even you can lower it to 2.7 k That's give in general better video quality if you are in low light than 5.3 k So the frame rate is you can have like, you know, for example, this Numbers here Here you can see that 30 24 80 120 240 these are frame rates and it's just like you know per second how many pictures the video is taking I go with 24 frame per second because that's what you see You know when you're watching movie and on tv And that's what usually our Natural eyes see so it looks more like in cinematic if you go with 24 frame per second But let's say if you want to slow Down Something let's say you're like, you know, you're recording something and you'd like to go show it as slow motion Then you can go with higher frame rate for example 60 120 or 240 But if you're a beginner then I would say just stay with 24 or 30 But my preference would be 24 So for this example, we are going to use a 4 k 24 per second frame per second But also when I'm traveling this setting I change it to 2.7 k so just keep in mind that some of the resolution may not have the full Frame rate or may not have all access to all frame rates. For example, I'm trying to go 20 2.7 k And I'm trying to go 24, but if I click on it, you can see that switching back to 4 k 24 so it looks like for this setting you can go 2.7, but you're not going to have access to 24 so you can have access up to 60 frame per second if you're going for 2.7 k So We'll just like, you know move on to the next one. Now the lens is going to be A few more options. So here if you click here, this is the normal narrow view So it's going to make your film or video look narrower And it's not going to look good. I don't recommend that and the next one is going to be linear and horizontal leveling So try to go with linear if you're looking for just like a regular camera and cell phone would record And the horizontal leveling is just like you know level your video For example, if you're holding the camera like this, so still it would be level But if you have a lower version of gopro, you may not have access to linear or I'm saying horizontal leveling and definitely going to have access to linear And then here you can see that this is just the linear And the next one is going to be the wide So it's just going to make everything look wide if you want to have wide video then you can use that And then here we have super view you may not have access to super view in Older version of gopro, but it just kind of wide widens up the lens and are the Camera and then you have more access but the best Would be to use just linear or linear and horizontal leveling That's what I use if you have access to horizontal leveling So we're going to go back to hyper smooth. So this is image is stabilization So if you have a lower version of gopro, you may not have the boost you may not may have up to just let you know high and low or off And then standard and high and boost So this one I keep it to boost But if you have a lower version of gopro, then you're going to have up to I think high But you know the more farther you go is going to be more stabilized But it's going to crop more and if you don't need image stabilization For example, when you're recording something like you know Set you're not moving or you're on a tripod and you're fixed then you don't need actual image is stabilization So in that case you can just use the Hyper smooth off and when you're moving then you can use either a standard High or boost but the farther you go is going to be cropped. So your video is going to be slightly Cut on the edges and boost is going to have the maximum crop And the standard is going to be have lower cop. So that's something to remember. So let's go back here So here schedule capture. I don't need to go that direction. No limit hindsight off Timer off now Let's talk about protein So protein gives you more control of your settings and I always recommend that, you know You turn on protein then you're going to have access to all these and here Uh, if you have a new version of gopro, then you're going to have Access to beetroot and this is going to be either high or standard If you have lower version of gopro, then you may not have the beetroot Access but for this one, I would say always go high Even if you're recording at 1080 and even if then your beetroot is high Then you're going to have 4k like video quality But if you're recording at 4k And your beetroot is low, then your video is going to look like 1080 The reason for that is that the higher the beetroot the camera captures more information and it Do it does increases file sizes, but it gives you better You know video because it has more information to deal with so always this one I recommend high even if you are doing 1080 resolution Shutter speed go with auto and if you compensation For newer gopro, I keep it at zero But if you have an older version, then you can uh go up to kind of minus half The reason is that Which is right here minus half for older version of gopro because If you have like in a zero or above for older version of gopro your video might look too bright So you can go with either zero or minus half, but for newer version of gopro They fix that and going zero is just fine Or even you can go up to Plus half so the higher you go Is going to get brighter, you know the video quality, but it comes with a cost It's going to not look, you know natural So that's why you know, I wouldn't recommend going above zero or Plus half or plus one even if you are in the like, you know dark area or a kind of not sunny area The best thing is would be just to you know increase the brightness in post production when you're actually editing your video So for newer gopro you can go with zero and for lower you can go with minus half That's my recommendation. So let's go back And we have white balance keep it to auto I also I would Generally recommend going with 100 to 800 If you go above 800 then it's going to capture more light, but it may not look good in the video So this one I would say just you know stay within 100 to 800 So I asked you just basically how much light is effecting your video quality or how much light your video is capturing and then sharpness There's low And medium so there's medium and there's low and there is high If you go high it's going to be Too sharp It looks too sharp and it doesn't look natural. So gopro is best performs At medium. So this one I would say go medium with all types of gopro newer or older And then color here you have access to gopro Vibrant color in the newer version and the natural and then flat Flat is when if you like, you know do color correction in post editing But I don't I never use that I never like you know post edit my color With flat. So I would always go with natural or vibrant If you have other older version of gopro, you may have you may not have vibrant You may have just like in a gopro gopro color. So in that case just go with the gopro color Now raw audio is going to be off wind is auto So when noise option you can have like a wind reduction auto and you can have wind reduction on and you can have Wind reduction off. So if you have wind reduction off It's just going to get more wind noise and if you have wind reduction on Then it's going to try to like, you know clear wind noise all the time And the best setting here would be auto So in that case the camera knows like, you know, if there's no wind It wouldn't try to balance anything But if there's wind then the system would kick in and try to cut wind noise. So My preference would be auto And then here shortcut. It's just like, you know, you can create shortcuts on main screen from For any like, you know settings But if you have Older version of gopro, you may or may not have Shot this option. I do not remember it now, but you know You can use the shortcut or you can just like, you know, you don't have to change anything if you don't want to So basically what shortcut is that when you are going down the screen here You can see like in shortcuts and this is for newer version of gopro So now I'm just going to go to A different setting and see if it lets me choose 2.7 get 24 frame per second for newer gopro And you can see that if I clicking on 24 switching back to 4k So it looks like if you're doing 2.7 k, then you have the option to 60 120 and 140 and same with let's say 4k You can do like, you know 24 frame per second and If you have let's say if you set like, you know 4k or anything and if you are clicking on a frame rate And if it doesn't change that means you don't have that option. So for example, 5k you can have 24 frame per second And then you can have 30 you can have 60 and you can have 120 But you can see that if you're going to 120 frame per second is switching back to 4k So that means that at 5.3 k resolution, you don't have the option to do 120 frame per second Which would be to do extreme slow motion So that would be like if you're videoing like, you know sports or birds or other activities So the higher the frame rate you can slow down the further But you know in general I would always recommend either 24 if you're doing 4k or if you're doing 2.7 k or 1080 Then the lowest option you have for example For 1080 you have You can do either 24 and up to 240 frame per second But 24 is the one which is going to give you more cinematic look So these are the all basic gopro settings for beginners If I miss something You can just like you know put it in the comments section below And I hope to do more gopro tips and tricks videos in the future So thank you for watching this video. There will be more videos coming up. So I'll see you shortly. Thank you
