Gopro camera mode blur motion problem

Recommended Posts

I've been using a gopro in camera mode shooting a still every 2 seconds for a couple months now and have just upgraded the firmware as per direction from the manufacture, Problem is now my still shots are blurred as if shutter speed is not fast enough to stop motion. out of 170 shots, maybe 3 turned out of but nothing like they have been before the upgrade. Has anyone had this problem? I have a support case number with the manufacture but haven't received a reply yet.. Just wondering if I can solve the problem myself with a parameter change.. (mode 4)

FYI Gopro support viewed some of the photos and questioned the ambient light at the time the pictures were taken. They said the Firmware could not have caused the problem. Coincidence maybe? For an action camera I would think underexposing would be more salvageable than motion blur. It was an overcast evening load but the CX110 had no problems at all with video. I don't shoot video for hire so the only disappointment personal. Later when I'm comfortable with the my camera helmet I will move to my DSLR and replace the Gopro all together.
Since no one has responded to this post the issue must be isolated. If I find out more I will update it for the search eng.

haven't seen your issue, but the only dark place I use the GoPro is inside the aircraft and it's always blurred, as expected. Small sensors, not terribly intelligent processing, slower shutter...Blur would be anticipated, IMO. Great that GoPro looked at it. They seem to offer very good customer service.

Sorry I deleted the pictures, It turns out there was not enough light. I have shot many sunset loads in video mode but with still mode it cant handle the lower light especially overcast too.. I have switched to my DSLR for still shots. I've got a CX110 for video and was using the Gopro instead of my larger, heaver camera for stills while I was getting use to my new camera helmet. Now that it isn't so new and I've moved to a Sony DSLR replacing the gopro for still pictures..

The issue with underexposure is that (I believe) the camera attempts to auto-expose by slowing the shutter speed. If things were so dark that the camera attempted to correct and you still saw blur AND underexposure, that would somewhat explain your result.

Disclaimer: It's been a little bit since I used a GoPro (about a year), so I def haven't used the new firmware. Also, I've never used it for jumping, just for motorcycle-related stuff.
