SCHEDULED CAPTURE
Scheduled capture lets you set your GoPro to automatically turn
itself on and capture a shot up to 24 hours in advance. It's available
for all presets.
Setting Up and Using Scheduled Capture
1. Tap the settings shortcut to go to the settings menu.
2. Tap Scheduled Capture.
3. Set when you want your GoPro to capture the shot.
4. After setting the time, you can turn your GoPro off or continue
using your camera's other presets.
Heads Up: Your GoPro will stay on after taking the shot. It will turn
itself off after idling for the length of time set in Preferences.
1. Swipe down on the rear screen to access the Dashboard.
2. Swipe left and tap Preferences > General > Auto Power Off.
PRO TIP: Use duration capture to choose the shot length when using
scheduled capture. Your camera will automatically stop recording
after it gets the shot. You'll have to press the Shutter button
stop recording if you're not using duration capture.

Exposure Control

Your GoPro scans the entire scene to choose the exposure level for
your shot. Exposure Control lets you decide if only a section of the
shot should be used to set the exposure.
Check out the shot preview on your touch screen. Try Exposure Control
if there are sections that are too dark or too light.
SETTING EXPOSURE CONTROL
If you're snowboarding on a sunny day, you might try locking the
exposure on your subject's jacket. This will help prevent your shots
from being underexposed (too dark) compared to the bright snow.
1. Tap and hold anywhere on the rear touch screen until a set of
brackets appears. The exposure will be based on area in the
brackets.
SPOT METER
PRO TIP: Tapping and holding the center of the screen will bring
up the Spot Meter. This will base the exposure on the center of
the screen.
