MISSION 1 Pro settings that change other settings

Change one setting and the camera sometimes changes another to fit, without asking. Here are five we caught, and the order that avoids them.

Two Apple Watch frames: HyperSmooth set to Auto Boost, then the banner Camera also changed, Frame Rate 120 → 30
Tap Auto Boost (left) and the watch reports what the camera changed (right).

Five settings that changed another one

  1. Apple Watch banner after choosing Auto Boost: Frame Rate 120 → 30

    Auto Boost dropped our 120 fps to 30

    You set HyperSmooth: Auto Boost

    Camera also changed

    • Frame Rate 120 → 30

    We were at 120 fps with HyperSmooth off. Check the frame rate after changing stabilisation.

  2. Apple Watch banner: Camera also changed, Bit Rate Max to High, Color GP-Log2 to Natural

    8-bit switched off Max and GP-Log2

    You set Bit Depth: 8-bit

    Camera also changed

    • Bit Rate Max → High
    • Color GP-Log2 → Natural

    Going back to 10-bit didn't restore them; we set both again.

  3. Apple Watch banner: Camera also changed, Shutter Speed 1/60 to 1/120, EV Comp +0.5 to 0.0

    120 fps moved a fixed shutter

    You set Frame Rate: 120

    Camera also changed

    • Shutter Speed 1/60 → 1/120
    • EV Comp +0.5 → 0.0

    At 120 fps a frame lasts 1/120 of a second, so a 1/60 shutter can't fit.

  4. Apple Watch with Shutter set to Fixed and the banner EV Comp +0.5 to 0.0

    A fixed shutter reset EV Comp

    You set Shutter: Fixed

    Camera also changed

    • EV Comp +0.5 → 0.0

    Set the shutter first and EV Comp after it.

  5. Apple Watch with Resolution 4K 4:3 selected and the banner Frame Rate 240 to 120

    4K 4:3 dropped 240 fps to 120

    You set Resolution: 4K 4:3

    Camera also changed

    • Frame Rate 240 → 120

    GoPro's table tops 4K 4:3 out at 120 fps; 240 needs 4K 16:9.

Set them in this order

  1. 1Resolution
  2. 2HyperSmooth
  3. 3Frame rate
  4. 4Bit depth
  5. 5Bit rate and colour
  6. 6Shutter and EV Comp

In all five examples, a setting only changed ones later in this list. Check the whole list once more before you roll. What every setting does

Questions

Why did my GoPro's frame rate change by itself?

Something you changed doesn't support it. On our MISSION 1 Pro, Auto Boost and 4K 4:3 both lowered the frame rate.

Why did my GoPro's shutter speed change?

A higher frame rate can't fit a slower shutter. At 120 fps the camera moved 1/60 to 1/120.

Why did EV Comp reset to 0?

On our camera, fixing the shutter or changing the frame rate reset it. Set EV Comp last.

Why can't I pick 240 fps at 4K 4:3?

GoPro's MISSION 1 Pro table lists up to 120 fps at 4K 4:3. For 240 fps, use 4K 16:9. GoPro's table.

Is there a remote for the MISSION 1 Pro?

Yes. GoPro lists The Remote and the Waterproof Shutter Remote as compatible, its voice commands work on the MISSION 1 series, and an Apple Watch app can do the same from your wrist. Every way to control a MISSION 1 Pro.
