I LOVE your instructional videos. As a retired teacher of 30 years, I can tell you that you have a calling for this. I respect very much the care and preparation you put into your presentations. You never assume we have previous knowledge and your step by step instructions are excellent. Your generation has a speed of speaking that I find difficult so I just slow you down to .75 speed and it works out just fine for me. Thanks so much for your work!

Just purchased my very first GoPro yesterday. I should have realized there wouldn't be anything in the box like maybe a User Guide. I know, that's so old school. So, off to KZbin I went. And after much searching I came upon this video. I am by no means a "technophobic" type of person nor am I techno challenged, but I am truly glad that I found this instructional video. Everything was explained in ways everyone can understand, and at a pace that was comfortable. Suggestions for adding equipment like light filters was appreciated. And formatting the SD card before filming would never have occurred to me. If you're new to GoPro like me, then I highly recommend you watch this

[@forestchaput]

Yesterday I bought this cam online, and sat back and thought...er....now what?! Then after a few silly vids on KZbin I came across yours and now I'm super-excited to get started. You have made this all worth while. (and yes, I've been back online...bought the Rode mic, the ND filters, the cage, the case). Nice cheap weekend this was! lol. Thank you SO much for explaining many of its features. I'm sure I will be back when this camera arrives. play, pause, play, pause, a few times :-) Thanks.

I know I'm late to the party but this was a fantastic video! I've never used a GoPro before and had no idea what to do with all the settings. I watched several how to videos but they weren't very helpful. Your presentation is excellent, you describe everything very well and most importantly to me, you explain why to use the settings you suggest. Definitely a new subscriber here! Cheers.

This is my first GoPro, and I am glad you indicated the sluggish response of the touch screen; I actually thought that GoPro had sent me a faulty camera. As long as this is considered "normal," I'm okay with that, I just need to get used to a certain swiping method.

Yep! You’ll get better at it the more you use it. I don’t find it frustrating at all anymore.

[@TomPidden]

Good video, although a note to those recording in 4k, make sure your editing software can handle it! Also make sure you have enough storage either on a computer or external drive to store it! Lots of people buy GoPros but still run quite old computers that lag horribly in 4k playback. If your just recording home videos you really don't need 4k, 2.7 or HD will still look great

[@forestchaput]

[@Oswald2615]

Excellent video with outstanding explanations. I am wondering is you could produce a somewhat modified version that would help older folks like me that are new to the action cam world. I think it would be helpful to see a video that has separate setting provided in short segments. For example, Standard could be setting you recommend for normal home videos, like outdoor birthday parties, walks around town, etc. A screenshot of a typed summary of settings at the end of each segment would be great. A second Action preset could be for what most GoPro users do - live sports like skiing, biking, surfing, etc. A third helpful preset would be for recording Sport Games, like football, soccer, lacrosse, etc. I like to film my son’s football games and would benefit from your recommendations on the settings. A fourth would be Cinematic presets. Gemini Connected is a channel that has a helpful video. Your channel and theirs are both really exceptional. Thank you very much for all the great content.

[@FlyFishtheMitt]

Great review on the settings. I just picked up a GoPro 9 and this was helpful. I do quite a bit of mountain biking and I've experimenting with different settings. I like 4K as the resolution but not sure on the frame rate. I don't do a lot of slow motion but want a more "real" look as opposed to cinematic. Should I stick the 60fps?

[@Lethal_Venom]

Cinematic looking video is best done in 24/30 frames per second. If you are looking to capture fast action type stuff as it looks in real life you would want to use 60 frames or higher to give it a smooth look as apposed to the action being too fast for the frames per second and the video look not coming out very well.

I've found that the touch screen seems to respond fine when I use my thumb to click buttons and scroll through the menus. The touch screen really starts acting wonky when I try using any of my other fingers. It seems like GoPro designed it this way for some reason. Pro tip: use your thumb!

@@senorbonbon I’d say 2.7k/60 is a good setting to use. It means you can slow the footage down (if you need to) and it’s a good quality setting if you wish to also crop.

Thanks for a great video, Forest. Thank YT for recommending it. 😜 Question: If there's too much light coming into the camera due to a low shutter speed, wouldn't it be enough to lower the ISO instead of having to purchase a polarizing filter? You mentioned that lowering the ISO will give a better image quality anyway, so why not utilize this instead of leaving light out by means of a filter? PS. my name is Henk and yes, I really am a TroubleMaker 😄
