Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Setting the Quick Capture mode, part of Learning to Shoot with the GoPro HERO 4 and Session 4.
- For a lot of users,…they just want the ability to turn the camera on…and have it start recording.…Sure, you can use the same default…startup mode that you just learned about.…But maybe you want to go even simpler.…Power on the camera and just have it engage.…Well, the GoPro session already does that.…When you hit the power button,…it turns the camera on and records…with the default mode that you set up.…But you could turn that same option on…for the other model of GoPro cameras.…Just go into the setup menu like before…and you can navigate through your choices.…
After you've set the default mode,…simply enable QuikCapture.…Now, it's pretty simple.…Let's navigate through.…And we'll exit.…And now, we can power off the camera…and watch what happens.…(beeping)…Going forward, if I press and hold…the record button,…the camera's going to turn on…and immediately start recording…in that mode that I set.…
This means that I no longer need to use…the power button to engage the camera.…I can simply start and stop the camera as needed,…
