Hi Reha, helpfull. I did not completely take over your settings, but it helped me with deciding how to setup. Thanks so much.

[@RehaAlev]

Patrick Awesome! Thank you.

[@minpurvis]

I just bought the hero 5 a couple of weeks ago, and since my last GoPro was the hero one, it was a huge step up for me. Your video was so helpful in having me understand the basics. I’m very into editing and it was nice to watch a tutorial to hear from an expert! Thanks so much!

[@JamaicaWildLife]

Hey I need your help so bad with my GoPro 5 black . Ok when I make videos and then take the card out of the camera and put it on my computer there is other fils and I don't know how they come on there and they can not be open or play please help me tell me what to do thanks hope you see this comment

[@rickdeaguiar-musicreflecti7692]

Excellent video on the the GoPro Hero5 Black. I just dusted it off after having it stored away. Looks like it is still a great camera. I'm using it to video my band's performances. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain your settings. So much appreciated :)

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Very good. Clear diction, clear instructions, not hurried etc with good image accompaniment - even I can follow. Thanks.

[@elchile007]

Thank you Reha. Just set up my settings the way you said and i love it.

[@salvtec]

Great stuff, really helpful video, thanks for taking the time.

[@ulricrousseau]

Thank you. Was stuck in wide FOV and I didn't understand why. Now I know. At 4k it's stays automatically at wide. You need to drop to 2.5k to be able to adjust. Thank you.

[@billdillon8139]

Thank you for your video. I just bought my Hero5 Black this morning. Will take it outside tomorrow.

[@KoolCreation]

Thanks, I've been tweaking with various settings on mine.

If I'm just going to add LUTS to my clips, would you leave WB auto and set Color to Flat?

[@JoevsRc]

When i take a video at a blue lcd screen, everything around it goes black and i can't see the writing on the blue lcd screen. Any thoughts? on hero 5 black

[@eriktanaka808]

Thanks so much, Reha! You're very helpful with both my HERO 5 video & photo settings!

[@RehaAlev]

Cheers!

[@Krateez]

Congratulations and thanks! Your instructions are precise and clear and perfect for somebody !

[@Krateez]

I meant to say they are perfect for somebody who is unfamiliar with the camera. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[@limbugk]

I got a question when I film at might at like light post its bright yea the video will be overshadowed by the light where's at at iPhone it's not a problem. Any setting for that?

[@patrickmurphy2832]

Liked! Very easy to watch video! Going to try your settings out soon and post a video !

[@riderzinc]

I'm using mine for motorcycle so i've set it to 1080p 60fps so i can have the auto stabilization on. Is that ok?

[@nirmalasurve8592]

Hello. First of all thanks for sharing this important settings with all of us Sometimes we use GoPro to shoot our lenthy interviews also. (1.5 hrs) but GoPro doesn't create one single file. It gives us efferent connecting clips which is very difficult to edit in post. So can you tell me how to create one single video of our lenthy interview shoot???? Please reply Thanks #KiranWarankar

[@Collin2377]

Hello. When I turn my gopro upside down , the video turns upside down. Is there any settings for the video to stay the same initial position even if I turn the camera upside down ? Thank you,

[@mannybacolod1249]

[@gordanaswanson1245]

[@melleroele7791]

what kind of post production software do you use? i just bought my go pro and people keep saying i will do this or that in post production but i cant figure out wat people are using,

[@mattwaters6987]

Gonna try your settings. Thx for the advice! Cheers!

[@CaffeineJogger]

Hi there, My gopro hero 5 flickers and gets distorted after transferring to my MacBook Air and viewing. . It's clear as a bell viewing on the actual GoPro itself. Also the quality seems amazingly good. Could you suggest some settings for taking Video of cycling and travel and the reason the playback is distorted and not clear?

[@kargulhc]

Hi! BIG question! How to set hero 5 black to shoot in mixed ligt conditions? For egzample: filming band recording a demo album in dark room in artificial lightning and i would like to go out to bright sunlight without messing up with settings to not miss any funny/important momment. Can i somehow compromise them two things?

[@MABFR01]

Really helpful, also, you look kind an calm so I'm subscribing ^^

[@RehaAlev]

LOL, thanks!

[@uDunCheebye]

If i used it as a car camera. How do i set it up so whenever i start the car, it powers up and start auto loop recording.

[@NoFate247]

What situations would you change the ev comp + or -? Great video

[@RehaAlev]

GoPro tends to overexpose. Set to -.5 when overcast during the day or in very bright conditions.

[@kajismusic]

This was a really well done and clear video - exactly what tutorials and clips like this should be. Good job sir, favourited and definitely more leaned towards getting myself Hero 5 now :)

[@dominikmagnus5074]

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me

[@Logicalpsycho2323]

when i record a video off my hero5, and export to my Final Cut Pro X, it always has the black bars above and below it. how can i record video to make it take up the whole screen & take away those black bars?

[@SM-lt8yr]

AWESOME video :-), really good voice-training.

[@jajamedes-perez6938]

Hi. Thanks for your video! May I ask how to turn off the slow motion in videos? All of my gopro hero 5 black videos are changed to slowmo when downloaded :(

[@thehegt]

Hi , i will use my gopro hero5 just for riding scooter around town , the ios on my gopro is setting 1600 , what should i set it to ? just for riding around town .

[@cubandynamite]

What would you suggest for the picture settings? How can I make my pictures sharper in color?

[@pandoraefretum]

Nice tips ; would you suggest ISO 800 reasonable for an indorr wedding ( with medium - large windows lighting the rooms ) ? Also, should the shutter speed always be double the FPS ? If so, does AUTO shutter speed do that ?

[@pfdlegaspi1]

Awesome go pro setting tutorial. Question I noticed you skipped the PROTUNE feature. what function does this do for the gopro?

[@RehaAlev]

The ProTune feature are the settings I explained.

[@chriswganser]

Thanks for the great video!

[@aarinesfahani]

My GPS symbol doesn't turn white. It always stays grey. Please help!

[@hugoscaramal]

Hi, I was impressed with the results I got on the GoPro for photos by following your other video. But in that one, you included instructions to how to post process in LightRoom. Any chance you could provide some guideline on how to post process the video? Thanks!

[@laurbar8877]

Thanks for the presentation. Some users have said that Go Pro Hero5 Black has overheating problems in the sunny summer days. It goes, but it gets very hot so you can not keep it in your hand. They say they were afraid it melts. Is this a real complaint? Did that happen to you or was the temperature kept at a normal, reasonable value? Thank you.

[@gcomfx]

I pointed my Hero 5 Black directly at the sun to see what would happen during an eclipse. The camera was hot to the touch, but it performed just fine. Here is the time-lapse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYi0ZaprpZp-Y7s

[@themep1969]

Thanks for the great suggestions! Should you turn stabilization off if you are using the karma grip or just leave it on?

[@RehaAlev]

+themep1969 I keep it turned on all the time.

[@GrooveMushroom]

Hello! What about exposure? I use my GoPro mostly while i fish near the rivers or fjords, but sky is giving 2 much light. If i will manually lock it to sky, than the water will be a lot darker.. Any ideas? Totally new in that (But your video learned me about ISO)

[@waynehutchins3150]

I will be using my cam on my helmet riding to Alaska. do these settings in your video work for motorcycles?

[@RehaAlev]

I would go with a higher frame rate (60) and higher shutter speed to reduce motion blur, which will help stabilizing the footage in post. You should be golden with the rest.

[@adayinthelifeofadrian]

my iOS is set to 1600 I noticed yours is on 400. Which is the better setting for shooting in places like Bali and Thailand?

[@RehaAlev]

it depends on how bright it is, not where you are. The lower the better as long as the exposure is right.

[@JoshuaClipp]

can you charge and connect to your phone at the same time? hero 4 couldnt

[@yarisTSk]

this really was helpful, thanks.

[@ND-yp3sk]

So I came and watched/liked your video earlier but I just thought of something and had to come back. You say anything over 1600 ISO delivers unusable footage. I was using it last night and didn't really think using ISO 3200-5400 introduced more noise than I was getting at 1600 (maybe it did, I didn't notice). So my question is this: If I was using the camera at night and 1600 ISO wasn't delivering bright enough footage would you suggest dropping the frame rate first to see if that helped? If that doesn't work should I adjust the EV or the shutter speed first?

[@RehaAlev]

+NastyNate 204 I would try to anything other than raising the ISO beyond 1600. First lower frame rate (will not make a huge difference) and then shutter and EV. If you shoot in lowlight often, I would invest in NeatVideo.

[@RonPrieston]

Thank you, right to the point no BS, you helped me a lot !

[@JCooK2007]

I'd like to take advantage of using 2.7k video with 60fps, due to the high resolution. But would you suggest using 1080p at 120fps for slow motion?? Is it really that much of a difference??

[@RehaAlev]

Josh Cook yes, slow-mo always in 1080p and 120fps when editing on a 1080 timeline.

[@TravelingWithKiwi]

Hi Reha, when you shoot in FLAT you have more flexibility when doing color correction later. So why not shooting at 60 fps in low light condition?

[@RehaAlev]

Not sure I understand the question. I have said in the video that if you are after a certain look you should be using FLAT, but for most users, I don't think its needed. If you are color grading your shots, I am sure you don't need me telling you to shoot in FLAT. You know that already. I try to avoid newbies set it to FLAT, just because someone told them so, and then don't know what to do after. To your second point the sensor has only half the frames to expose in 30fps vs 60fps, which allows slightly more time for exposing the video. This is what the camera does itself when set accordingly. Its not ha huge difference but still....

[@TonyPicks_MMA]

Hi reha.. Do you have any tips for shooting a music festival with a go pro hero 5.. Its in a forrest settings with a lot of movement and neon lights at night time.. Love your videos always so educational!

[@jonpetersdronemedia4142]

Hey Reha, When taking photos on my hero 5 black, they seem to be in a square format like 4.3. when I look at them on my T.V./Computer. And yet the video is like 16.3. (full screen) Is there anyway I can get the still image to fit the screen like the video footage?

[@arkas6797]

Can I make videos at close-ups of 50-100 cm (laboratory conditions, artificial lighting) with satisfactory results? Thank you for the video, great help.

[@iam_nick]

Great video, just one thing to add. I would still prefer not having shutter set as Auto as it can affect the quality very much. It often automatically go up to very high speed shutter.

[@renatoSuperEinfach]

GREAT short explanation, good job, ThnXs

[@johnpresto4407]

I just received a GoPro hero 5 and I have been watching your videos to learn how to better set um my camera. I wanted to know what program do you use to edit video footage?

[@RehaAlev]

+John Presto video should be available any minute.

[@nikitathongz9313]

Hi, can u help me with my cam coz some of my photo inside a bit dark and if i also transfer to my computer also dark,

[@RehaAlev]

These could be so many different reasons. can you upload some? Have you been following the settings as suggested in the video?

[@VikasB123]

Hi Reha, thanks for the info. I am brand new to the GoPro. Firstly, is it worth it for an African Safari if I already have a camera, iphone etc. Secondly, what accessories (like head strap?) are a must? Lastly, the settings that you mentioned (I am NTSC) - Resolution of 2.7 K? (I have only 1440, 1080, 720) and same with FPS etc. What am I missing? Anyone please?

[@an5998]

Vikas Bhatnagar I would get the GoPro hat with the mount on it, it looks better than the head strap that makes you look like Bane from Batman. If you have the money definitely get the karma grip it makes the videos look so smooth it’s like a movie. It’s definitely a good camera to have while traveling.

[@airborneworks6103]

Nice video so I have a question I have a go Pro five black I'm following along with the settings of 2.7 K but I don't see 25 frames per second option, I cad 60 48, 30 & 24 and I don't see the 50 frames per second option am I missing something?

[@RehaAlev]

Airborne Works your camera is set to NTSC, which is the standard for the US. I set my camera to PAL which is the standard for most of the rest of the world. NTSC is 30 fps, PAL is 25. You can either choose 30 or 60 instead of me 25 or 50. All's fine.

[@airborneworks6103]

thanks Man I thought I was going nuts not able to find it I will look up the difference between the two as now I'm curious why there is not one standard... Nice video by the way!!

[@parrishkondra]

Great video & explanation 👏

[@RehaAlev]

Thank you!

[@HaruwnTiano24]

for the sharpness, if at a low setting, if the image becomes blurry or smooth? why should be set low? why not high?

[@RehaAlev]

it will be softer, allowing you to increase sharpness in editing. Not every shot needs the same amount of sharpness, so better to leave it low and adjust in post as needed.

[@HaruwnTiano24]

reha, do you have a video review sharpness low, medium, and high? may I ask whether you contact? there are a few things I would like to question about gopro hero 5: D

[@rolithesecond]

contrast is usually achieved by tracing outlines in the picture and then increasing the difference in brightness between the two points on this edge, one to darker, one to brighter. mostly, doing this in post is better because the post production can spend more processing power on this and therefore do it cleaner than the camera. additionally, you can control how much you want to increase the contrast and also the radius of the contrast.

[@franciscoleon1172]

Hey Reha, great video but you did not explain how to color correct and increase sharpness in post like your other videos (photo and timelapse)

[@RehaAlev]

+Francisco León this video was just to cover the settings. Didn't shoot anything. Will upload more examples soon.

[@franciscoleon1172]

Reha Alev thanks for answering! I Will watch them and like them

[@der_zonguldaner67]

White Balance ayari nativ ayarliyorsunuz ama yine Auto da duruyor hangisi olacak

[@RehaAlev]

Bu soru sordunuz icin, size Auto uygundur.

[@RupeeNL]

Thanks for your helpful video. I'm planning to use the GoPro Hero5 in Iceland this summer. No POV action, but ice, lava and waterfalls. Would these settings also suit that environment?

[@RehaAlev]

Should be fine. These are pretty universal settings. Just make sure your ISO is neither too high or low.

[@pilotpinnen]

Hi, thanks for great vid. Why are you using PAL settings, does it matter when most screens are digital nowdays?

[@RehaAlev]

no not really. its just about the frame rate. I shoot in 25fps with my Panasonic GH4 and sometimes mix footage, which is why I chose PAL.

[@kuwkwt]

you use Audio OFF why is that and if u changed it what dose it do ?

[@mertone77]

Hi, Reva for a newbie like me( no experience at all in editing) 1080p, 30fps or 60 fps, GoPro color, shutter auto, ev comp 0, ISO 800, sharp medium, pro tune ON, audio OFF, do you think these settings are OK?

[@RehaAlev]

All OK but set your WB to auto also

[@ax6070]

I think you deserve more subscribers. Your explanations and info are way better than someone else who has 200k-300k-500k and plus. I have one more question if I may. Which editing software not to complicated would you recommend for a beginner? (paid or not).Thank you, Aldo

Top Tips , ThanQ

[@Bobster986]

Not complaining, but somehow I was able to reduce my vIdeo ISO TO 100, any idea how this is done? I’d like to know just so I can repeat it when I need to.Thanks.

[@RehaAlev]

Set both the min and max ISO to 100

[@Bobster986]

Reha Alev no, that only works for photos, not video. Anyway, I figured it out, you need to use the GoPro app settings, not on camera preferences. Click on Sutter and set to Auto to activate, then select a Manual Shutter. Go to ISO settings, you will now see 100, select that and you're done. Just make sure your shutter speed hasn't changed. Good luck and use this trick well. 😉
