QUIKCAPTURE
QuikCapture lets you power up the HERO and start shooting with the press of a single button.
Because the camera is powered on only when it is captured, you conserve battery power.
1. With the camera powered off, press the Shutter button. Hold the Shutter button to
QuikCapture time lapse photos instead of video.
The camera powers on, beeps several times, and automatically begins capturing video.
The camera status lights blink while the camera is recording.
2. To stop recording, press the Shutter button again. The camera stops recording, beeps
several times, and powers off.
Taking video and photos
Use the touch display to preview your shots and change modes and settings before capturing
by turning on the camera first instead of using QuikCapture. You’ll have to power it off to save
battery life.
1. Select a different mode than the current if needed:
a. Tap the icon in the lower left corner of the touch display.
b. Tap the capture mode you want. You may have to drag from the bottom to the top
to scroll through more modes than fit in the short screen.
2. If needed, select different settings too.
3. Press the Shutter button. The camera beeps and the camera status lights flash while the
camera is capturing.

4. To stop capturing video or time lapse, press the Shutter button. The camera beeps and
the camera status lights flash quickly.
