SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 13,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO)
announced that its GoPro Labs special firmware program has released
an update that unlocks innovative and experimental features for
advanced users. The program supports HERO9 Black,
HERO8 Black, HERO7 Black and GoPro MAX.
With the features launching today, GoPro
customers can push the boundaries of their GoPro's
capabilities:
- Camera Motion Triggers: Leverage the camera's
accelerometer and/or gyroscope to start/stop capture only when the
camera is in motion, preserving storage and battery.
- USB Power Triggers: Equips GoPro to start/stop capture
when USB power is detected, enabling USB-triggered functions like
serving as a dash cam.
- Motion Detection Enhancements: Motion detection is now
supported in all video modes, including 360° motion detection on
MAX, with improvements to the sensitivity range.
- Simplified Live Streaming QR Code: Program your GoPro
got start live streaming within seconds of being connected to a
designated Wi-Fi network.
- Single-Setting/One-Button
Mode: A one-button mode where the operator can only
start/stop capture, making it impossible to accidentally change
camera modes. Perfect for simplified use and new users.
- New Exposure Modes: Set timed exposure lock and minimum
shutter speed settings.
- New QR Code Controls: QR code controls supported in
5K and HindSight capture for HERO9
Black.
These features join previously released
functionality including QR-code-controlled options
like motion detection, wake-up timers, saving favorite
settings, camera personalization and more—some of
which became official features in HERO9 Black, which
launched in fall 2020.
GoPro Labs firmware is available to
download for HERO9 Black, HERO8 Black, HERO7 Black and GoPro
MAX at GoPro.com/Labs. GoPro Labs firmware includes
the current public firmware
capabilities appropriate for each model,
plus the experimental features listed above.
