And HERO10 Black's new firmware update, slated for release by end of October, introduces three "Video Performance Modes" that make it easy to maximize your HERO10's performance depending on your use case:
- Maximum Video Performance – Maximum resolution and frame rates for the very best image quality and ultra-slow-motion video.
- Extended Battery – Optimal resolutions and frame rates for the longest possible video recording times and maximum battery life.
- Tripod / Stationary Video — Optimized for recording long video clips at the highest resolutions and frame rates when the camera is stationary without motion or airflow to cool the camera. GPS and HyperSmooth video stabilization are turned OFF in this mode.
The following is what users can expect to achieve, on average, in Tripod / Stationary Video mode when recording a single continuous clip at a temperature of 77F / 25C in static situations without movement or airflow to cool the camera:
- 5.3K60 –
47% more runtime than previous for an average of 29 minute-long clips - 5.3K30 –
11% more runtime than previous for an average of 44 minute-long clips - 4K120 –
52% more runtime than previous for an average of 26 minute-long clips - 4K60 –
154% more runtime than previous for an average of 63 minute-long clips - 4K30 –
35% more runtime than previous for an average of 50 minute-long clips
A future firmware update will enable even longer clip lengths in 5.3K30 and 4K30. And if important for your use case, 2.7K and 1080p will enable even longer single clip recording times than above in either Extended Battery or Maximum Video Performance modes.
The HERO10 firmware update will be available by the end of October and HERO10 Black owners can update their cameras using the Quik app.
