GETTING STARTED

Welcome to your new Fusion! Let’s get started.

MICROSD CARDS

Fusion requires two microSD cards (sold separately). Use brand name memory cards that meet these requirements:

• microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC

• Class 10 or UHS-I rating

• Capacity up to 64GB

For a list of the recommended microSD cards, visit gopro.com/workswithgopro.

Always think of the two cards as partners. When you replace one, replace the other.

If your cards become full during recording, your camera stops recording and displays FULL on the status screen. For cards with dierent capacities, this message appears when the smaller card becomes full.

NOTICE: Use care when handling memory cards. Avoid liquids, dust and debris. As a precaution, power o the camera before inserting or removing the cards. Check manufacturer guidelines regarding use in acceptable temperature ranges.

Inserting the microSD Cards

1. Hold down the Latch Release button on the battery door, then slide the door open.

TIPS FOR CAPTURING WITH FUSION

QUIKCAPTURE

If you are new to capturing spherical content, below are some tips to help you get the best results from Fusion.

• Fusion captures everything around you, regardless of where the camera is pointed. However, for best results, aim directly at the main subject.

• OverCapture lets you capture content in all directions from a single point. So, you do not need as many cameras to ensure that you get the shot. And you can select the content that is important to you after you capture.

• Keep post-production in mind when you are capturing with Fusion. For example, remember to hide yourself and your supporting mounts and equipment somewhere that is easily blended during post-production.

• For more control during post-production, capture with these Protune settings:

• Protune: On

• Color: Flat

• White Balance: Native

• Sharpness: Low

WARNING: The dual lenses of Fusion are unprotected and

are susceptible to scratches, if n ot cared for properly. Always store Fusion with the provided lens protection and avoid resting the lens on any surface. Scratches to the lens are not covered by the warranty.

20 21

QuikCapture is the fastest way to capture video or time lapse photos with Fusion. Because the camera is powered on only when it is capturing, you also conserve battery power.

To capture other types of content, see Capturing Video and Photos (page

23).
