INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Almost a year to the day after unleashing its Hero6 Black, GoPro has given its many action camera rivals a tougher competitor in the new
stabilisation, HyperSmooth can be called upon when shooting 4K footage at the maximum 60p setting, and doesn't consume any additional
motion into their Timelapses, rather than needing to keep the camera stable on a tripod
The result is a hyperlapse-style video that you can create completely handheld, or a magic carpet ride, as GoPro puts it.Video specs
otherwise are largely unchanged, although there's a new Short Clips feature that disciplines you to capture footage with a maximum 15sec
or 30sec duration.Better stillsAnother new feature is SuperPhoto, which aims to take the hassle out of manually calling upon various options
to help improve your images
So, HDR, for example, is automatically deployed where the camera deems it necessary to help balance scenes with a wide dynamic range
Similarly, the camera will use multi-frame noise reduction if it feels the need to do so, helping to deliver images with lower noise without
the user having to intervene
So, we get the same 12MP CMOS sensor from the GoPro Hero6 Black and a lens that provides an angle of view equivalent to that of a 16mm lens,
when used in the 16:9 aspect ratio
same as before, with 10m/33ft waterproofing without an additional housing, although audio recording is said to be improved, partly through a
LCD, and GoPro has refreshed the UI to make operation more smartphone-like
You can swipe the screen to change between different modes, and the UI now automatically adjusts when you're shooting in a portrait
GoPro Hero model capable of live-streaming
Limited to 720p output, this will work with Facebook on launch, and is set to work with YouTube, Twitch and Vimeo before long
also allow you to send everything wirelessly to your phone or tablet
The camera maintains compatibility with the Quik and GoPro apps as previous models.To further encourage users to adopt the new model, GoPro
is also launching a Hero7 Black Million Dollar Challenge
The contest encourages users to film the product highlight reel for the new device, and anyone whose footage is chosen will scoop an equal
share of $1,000,000 with all other entrants who end up being chosen for the reel.GoPro Hero7 Silver and WhiteThe new model will be joined by
Hero7 Silver and Hero7 White siblings, each bringing a handful of improvements over previous models, at more agreeable price than the Black
version.The Hero7 Silver offers a 10MP sensor and 4K video to 30p, along with Full HD recording to 60p and 2x slow-motion recording
It maintains the same waterproofing, Voice Control and touch-functionality as the Black option, together with the portrait-orientation
shooting and Short Clips feature, although it misses out on the new HyperSmooth and SuperPhoto options, and burst shooting is limited to (a
still-respectable) 15fps.The White option, meanwhile, will arrive with much the same feature set as the Silver, but with video recording
Pricing for all three models in Australia, is yet to be announced.The new model can be pre-ordered now, and will be available from September
27, which is also the start date for entries to the Million Dollar Challenge.PjMK9gbjHeQeqEzkaBWyof.jpg#
