My GoPro Hero Camera offers a comprehensive introduction to using the most recently released GoPro Hero camera models, including the basic GoPro Hero, GoPro Hero3+ and the GoPro Hero4. All three of these cameras utilize the same basic operating system and menus, but each has slightly different features, functions and possible shooting resolutions for digital images and video.


After offering an initial introduction to the cameras themselves, as well as their menus and buttons, this book offers an overview of the different camera housings and mounts available, plus explains how to utilize the GoPro mobile app and computer software. How to best use other “must have” GoPro accessories, including the Wi-Fi Remote and the LCD Touch BacPac display are also be covered.


Throughout the book are hundreds of shooting tips and strategies that teach readers how to capture the best possible photos and videos in a wide range of situations. Strategies for shooting professional-quality first and third-person photos/videos, as well as traditional photos/video, plus ways to achieve the best possible results indoors, outdoors, underwater, in low-light situations, and in high-action situations are covered.


This book appeals to those who purchased a GoPro camera to take on vacation or to capture “family moments,” as well as to more active people who want to capture crystal-clear “action” images or videos of themselves engaged in various activities, using their GoPro camera in conjunction with the best combination of optional camera accessories, housings and mounts, based on their activity and the shooting conditions.


How and why all of the accessories, housings, mounts, menu options and camera settings were used to capture the sample content is explained in the text and with plenty of visual examples within the book.
