FIELD OF VIEW FOV TIME LAPSE
Your camera includes two FOV options for time lapse.
FOV Description
Wide
Largest eld of view. Good for action shots to
capture as much as possible within the frame.
This FOV results in a sheye look, especially
around the edge of the scene. (You can crop
that out during editing, if needed.)
Linear
Mid-range eld of view that removes the
sheye distortion. Good for capturing aerial
footage or any other shot where you want a
more traditional perspective.
TIME LAPSE MODE: SETTINGS
PROTUNE
In Time Lapse mode, Protune is available for Time Lapse Photo
and Night Lapse Photo. For details about Protune settings, see Protune
(page 74).
RAW FORMAT TIME LAPSE
When this setting is turned on, all photos are captured with an
accompanying .jpg image for immediate viewing on your camera or sharing
with the GoPro app. RAW photos are saved as .gpr les, which are based
on the Adobe .dng format. These les can be used in Adobe Camera Raw
(ACR), version 9.7 or later. You can also use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
CC (2015.7 release or later) and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (version
6.7 or later).
In Time Lapse mode, RAW Format is available for Time Lapse Photo and
Night Lapse Photo, with these exceptions:
• High Dynamic Range must be turned o.
• FOV must be set to Wide.
• Zoom must be o.
• For Time Lapse Photo, the Interval must be at least 5 seconds.
• For Night Lapse Photo, the Shutter setting must be at least 5
seconds.
The options for this setting are O (default) and On. To access this
advanced setting, see Navigating with the Touch Display (page 18).
PRO TIP: Photos in .gpr format are captured in the same location and
with the same le name as .jpg les. To access them, insert your microSD
card into a card reader and locate the les with your computer’s le
explorer.
