Setting the Screen Orientation
You can easily switch between landscape and portrait shots by rotating
your camera. HERO8 Black can even capture photos and videos
right-side up when it’s mounted upside down. The touch screen menu
will automatically adjust, and your media will play back right-side up.
The orientation is locked in when you press the Shutter button
.
If your camera tilts during recording, like on a roller coaster, your
footage will tilt with it. You’ll capture every twist and turn.
LOCKING THE ORIENTATION
HERO8 Black lets you lock the screen in landscape or portrait orientation.
This is especially useful when you’re using body and handheld mounts.
That’s when accidentally shooting in the wrong orientation is mostly likely
to happen.
Swipe down to access the Dashboard.
1. Turn your camera to the orientation you want.
2. Tap
on the Dashboard.
The screen is now locked and will match the orientation of your camera.
Heads Up: Locking the screen in this way will only work when the
Orientation is set to All (default) in Preferences.
SETTING LANDSCAPE LOCK
You can also set your GoPro to record only in landscape orientation.
Swipe down to access the Dashboard.
1. Tap Preferences > Touch Screen > Orientation.
2. Switch from Auto (default) to Landscape.
Your GoPro will record right-side up whether your camera is right-side up
or upside down. You can also lock the orientation on the Dashboard.
Your GoPro comes loaded with four video presets. Each has its own
specialty. Once you’ve chosen your preset, press the Shutter button
to start recording. Press it again to stop.
STANDARD DEFAULT
A versatile preset that’s great for all-purpose recording. It shoots 1080p
video at 60 frames per second (fps) for full-screen playback on your
phone and TV. The digital lens is set to Wide to capture more of the
scene in the frame.
ACTIVITY
Use this preset to capture ultra immersive footage of your favorite
activities. It records 2.7K video at 60 fps with the SuperView digital
lens. This gives your video the classic GoPro look with high-resolution
full-screen playback.
CINEMATIC
Captures stunning 4K high-resolution video at 30 fps. This preset
uses the Linear digital lens to smooth out the sh-eye eect and
give your footage a dramatic cinematic feel.
SLOMO
Great for fast-action shots, this preset records 1080p footage at
240 fps. This lets you slow things down to 8x normal speed during
playback and catch amazing details you can’t see with the naked eye.
