Choosing Exposure Setting; Upside Down Image Capture - GoPro Hero Instructions Manual

CHOOSING EXPOSURE SETTING
Choose between Spot Meter and Center Weighted Average Meter exposure settings depending on the
lighting of your environment:
Cnt
(default setting)
SPt
This icon
appears on LCD when spot
meter is active
Center weighted average meter is best for normal outdoor and indoor
lighting conditions.
Spot meter is primarily for shooting from inside of a car or other dark
space looking out into a brighter outside setting. Spot meter adjusts the
exposure for the absolute center of the scene, for example the road
ahead instead of the interior of the car.
If you are wanting optimum exposure of the inside of the car, filming
mainly the driver for example, choose Cnt center weighted average to
ex ose for the inside of the car.
Press the SHUTTER button to toggle between choices.
Press the POWER/MODE button to save whichever setting is showing on the screen and continue to the
next feature option.
UPSIDE DOWN IMAGE CAPTURE (If your camera does not have this option, visit gopro.com to

If you need to mount your camera upside down to get the perfect photo or video angle, you can program the
camera to save the photo or video upside down so that it appears right side up when you review it on your
computer or TV. This eliminates the need to "flip" the photo or video later on your computer.
UP (default setting)
UPd
saves photos and videos in a normal "right side up" orientation
saves photos and videos upside down so that they appear right side up
when you review on your computer or TV. The video camera and photo
icons will blink quickly on the LCD screen to reminding you that you are
saving photos and videos in upside down mode.
Press the SHUTTER button to toggle between the UP I UPd choices.
Press the POWER/MODE button to save whichever setting is showing on the screen and continue to the
