If you find all the button presses when you are going through the menus on your GoPro HERO5 Black or HERO5 Session to be a bit confusing, you can control your GoPro with the GoPro Capture App. In this movie, author Richard Harrington demonstrates how to use the GoPro Capture App to control a GoPro camera.
- If you find all the button presses…to be a bit confusing…and you just want to use your smartphone,…you can do that.…The GoPro Capture app is quite versatile,…and once you've connected a GoPro camera to your phone,…it'll actually remember that connection,…making it easy to pull out your smartphone or your tablet…and use it for advanced options.…Now, I find it much faster and easier to…navigate through the settings on the phone,…particularly when I want to do advanced shooting.…Later in this course, we'll talk about some options…like shooting HDR, or making adjustments on the fly,…and how you can do that using the remote app.…
But I want to give you a quick walkthrough of…controlling the menus.…But to start, we have to quickly connect the camera…to the phone for the first time.…Let's do that.…I'll begin by pressing the button the back here…to access the menu.…And I'll see connection settings.…I'll show you how to do the hero black later.…We'll trigger that, and it's now asking…to connect to new device.…
I'll go ahead and invoke that.…
