HOW TO USE A GOPRO HERO 10 TO SHOOT STILLS

We try out this latest action camera in a few different shooting scenarios

CINEMATIC STILLS

If you want the GoPro to work in full auto mode, turn on SuperPhoto, and the camera will then select either High Dynamic Range (HDR), Local Tone Mapping, Multi-Frame Noise Reduction or No Processing. You can also turn on HDR mode yourself for landscapes with high contrast between shadow and highlight areas.

PORTRAITS

While it’s not exactly top of the list for portrait shooters, the GoPro Hero 10 can shoot faces – switch the view to Narrow Lens (27mm) for a more natural field of view. To capture group shots or selfies, mount your GoPro at the right height, switch to SuperPhoto and select a Photo Timer to give yourself time to get in the shot.

LOW LIGHT SCENES

For night-sky shooting or cityscapes, switch to the GoPro NightPhoto preset, which adjusts the shutter speed to let in more light for your scene. Mount the GoPro on a mini tripod or lay it down somewhere stable to avoid motion blur. It’s best to change the output to raw to maintain detail for post-processing.

ACTION AND ACTIVITY

Switching to the Burst preset enables you to capture up to 25 frames per second for action and sports shots. Alternatively, LiveBurst will take shots both 1.5 seconds before and 1.5 seconds after the shutter is pressed – you can customise these presets by tapping the pencil icon.
