GoPro Master the Modes: Night Lapse On HERO7 Black + Fusion
Capturing the night sky is no easy feat. There are ISO settings, shutter speeds and movement blurs to take into consideration. But when all three come together, the result is a color glimpse into space and moments often missed by the untrained eye, or lens.
With the launch of HERO7 Black, GoPro introduced an improved Night Photo Mode that unlocked higher ISO options and longer shutter speeds, making night photography a bit easier for GoPro users. And just last month, GoPro lit up the spherical world a first-ever public beta for Fusion with Firmware v2.0 that brought RAW photos to Night Lapse Mode at a 5 second interval.
To give a definitive guide to mastering these new modes, we tapped GoPro engineering tools specialist and night/time lapse photography guru Shreenivasan Manievannan. The following words and photos are by Shreenivasan.
Night Photo Mode on HERO7 Black and Fusion is the strongest it’s ever been. Thanks to recent updates, my favorite mode now provides better image quality when capturing the change of light over a period and enables capturing a time lapse in day-to-night scenarios.
To break it down, on HERO7 Black, ISO settings can reach 1600 with RAW enable when using manual shutter speed, increasing light sensitivity. Whereas on Fusion, ISO settings can now be set to 800 with RAW enabled to get amazing details with the new Beta Firmware v2.0. Plus, Fusion Studio also has been updated to read edited RAW photos for easier stitching.
The Top Reasons to Use Night Lapse Photo Mode:
- The GoPro stores every individual photo shot during the timeframe, enabling more creative editing in post processing.
- You can capture long exposures up to 10s when using AUTO Shutter set to ISO range of 100 to 800.
- Auto interval settings allow for smooth transitions of light in day-to-night time lapses, or vice versa.
- The resulting set of photos provides the option to stack images in post to create the elusive “star trail” still image (pictured below).

Teton Gravity Research The Far Out Ones
REI presents Far Out, the new ski and snowboard film by Teton Gravity Research. No two athletes in Far Out are the same, but Fabian Lentsch sure stands out from the crowd. He might be the new guy on the team, but the young Austrian sure shows he has what it takes to ski in the wildest places on the planet. Like so many of his friends, Lentsch started off on the competition circuit, but the free-thinking individual quickly decided to take a much more independent approach to his skiing. He quit the FWT and started roadtripping. Remember, this is Europe we’re talking about, and #vanlife hadn’t quite caught up to the levels we are used to seeing in North America, but Lentsch forged his own path ahead anyway. After spending nearly a year building out a custom-built RV, he packed it full of skis and friends, and headed East on a trip into the unknown. Over the next few seasons, what became known as the Snowmads crew ended up skiing some of the wildest places on the planet, but of course, Lentsch always wanted more. This year, he took some time off the road to film for Far Out, Presented by REI, joining Angel Collinson, Johnny Collinson, and Nick McNutt to explore the mountains of Albania. Check out his part in TGR’s upcoming ski and snowboard film, and hear what he has to say about pushing the limits in all corners of the globe.

Tour tickets, dates, and film info at: tetongravity.com/farout
REI presents Far Out, a ski and snowboard film that embodies the imagination as much as it does a physical space. It is the quest to seek out undiscovered realms and inspire new waves of creativity, enlightenment, and progression. It is the quest to be blown away.
Join the TGR crew on one of its boldest missions ever. The film follows the perspective of an athlete as he embarks on a journey to one of the most remote and unexplored mountain ranges on the planet, the Albanian Alps. While the final destination appears to be the ultimate goal, it is the collective of athletes, experiences, and the array of locations around the world that inevitably drive the season’s adventure. Witness mind-bending pillow lines as the crew camps out deep in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia. Experience urban madness in Kamchatka and the insanity of the Crazy Mountains in Montana. Join the crew in the Slovenian Alps for over-the-head cold smoke and watch an 11-year-old rip Jackson Hole. Discover the alien landscape of Girdwood, Alaska in January and see Sean Jordan ride into Crested Butte on a black stallion to shred the Southern Rockies. Find out if the wildest and most untamed mountains in Europe let us in, and if the ultimate destination became a reality.
GoPro: Best of 2018 – Year in Review in 4K
Oh 2018, what a year for the books! From sharing never-before-seen sights to accomplishing barely imaginable feats—whether they got to us by way of athletes, influencers, GoPro Award submissions or purely by chance—the caliber of GoPro-captured videos we’ve seen this year is the most inspiring, highest quality to-date.
We saw Fusion create a tiny planet phenomenon; we saw record breaking rope jumps and drifts; we saw dancing from bulding sides to city streets; and we soared from mountain tops, through stadiums and off more adrenlaine-pumping jumps than ever before.
But most importantly, 2018 will forever be remembered as the year shaky video died. HyperSmooth, you are the real MVP.
Sit back, relax and join us in watching the best videos of the year. We bet you can’t watch this epic compilation just once!
