Switching Between Shooting Modes
You can choose from four ways to switch between video-shooting modes and then adjust specific settings, including
Directly from the camera
With Voice commands (not available on the HERO Session)
With the optional Smart Remote
With the Capture app on your smartphone or tablet
Control the Camera Using the Smart Remote
You pair the camera with the Smart Remote one time and then the remote mirrors the information displayed on the camera’s status screen. You can adjust the camera mode, shooting mode, and related settings from up to 600 feet away. The Smart Remote works with all three camera models.
To adjust the camera shooting mode, follow these steps:
After the initial pairing, press the Power/Mode button on the Smart Remote to turn on the remote (and the camera).
Press the Power/Mode button repeatedly to scroll through the camera modes. When you see the setting you want, stop pressing the Power/Mode button. Here, the Video shooting mode has been selected.
To adjust the Resolution, FOV, and FPS options, press the Settings/ Tag button once. The Resolution option is highlighted and displayed.
Scroll through the Resolution options for the camera mode you’ve selected by pressing the Shutter button. When the Resolution you desire is highlighted, press the Power/Mode button to select it. In this example, 1080p is selected.
The FPS option is highlighted next. Keep pressing the Shutter button until you see the desired resolution, and then press the Power/Mode button to select it. 60 FPS is selected in this example.
The FOV option is highlighted next. Again, keep pressing the Shutter button until you get to the desired resolution, and press the Power/Mode button to select it (not shown).
Repeat this process for the rest of the adjustable options, including the advanced shooting options (not shown).
When you’ve adjusted all the settings using the Smart Remote, highlight and select the Exit option. You’re now ready to begin shooting. Press the Shutter button to begin.
