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-II/III rating
• Capacity up to 128GB
For best results, we recommend that the brand, speed rating, and
capacity of the cards are the same. 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 dierent
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. For information about use in acceptable temperature
ranges, check the memory card manufacturer’s guidelines.

TIPS FOR CAPTURING WITH FUSION TIPS FOR CAPTURING WITH FUSION
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 one of the lenses
directly at the main subject.
• OverCapture lets you capture content in all directions from a single
point of view. 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.
• For the best results, attach Fusion to the mounts that came with the
camera. Using the mounts moves the camera away from your hand
and helps reduce the chances that your hand appears in the shot.
• When using Fusion as a handheld camera without a mount, group
most of your ngers underneath the camera near the mounting
ngers. This placement reduces the chance that your hand appears
in the shot:
• For more control during editing, capture with Protune turned on.
• To prevent additional work during editing, do not rest Fusion on its
side when capturing.
• Keep editing 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 editing.
WARNING: The dual lenses of Fusion are unprotected and
are susceptible to scratches, if not 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.
24 25
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
26).
CAPTURING VIDEO WITH QUIKCAPTURE

].
Your camera powers on, beeps several times, and automatically begins
capturing video. The camera status lights blink while the camera is

2. To stop recording, press the Shutter button [
] again.
The camera stops recording, beeps several times, and automatically
powers o.
QUIKCAPTURE
CAPTURING TIME LAPSE WITH QUIKCAPTURE
The Time Lapse mode is perfect for showing how a scene changes over
time. With Time Lapse Photo or Night Lapse Photo, you can capture a
series of photos to be sure you get the shot you want.
1. With the camera powered o, press and hold the Shutter button
[
] until capture begins.
3 sec
Your camera powers on, beeps several times, and automatically begins

Time Lapse Photo, or Night Lapse Photo). The camera status lights
blink once for each photo captured.
2. To stop capturing, press the Shutter button [
] again.
The camera stops recording, beeps several times, and automatically
powers o to maximize battery life.

CAPTURING VIDEO AND PHOTOS
You can also use a more traditional method to capture video and photos
in which you leave the camera powered on and capture, as needed. Unlike

you must manually power it o to save battery life. (Fusion automatically
powers o after 7 minutes of inactivity.)
1. Press the Mode button [
] to power on the camera.
2. Select a mode and settings. For details, see Changing Modes and

This capture mode records video. The default resolution is 5.2K30. For
more information, see these topics:

VIDEO MODE: CAPTURE MODE
VIDEO RESOLUTION
Video resolution (RES) refers to the number of horizontal lines in the
video. For example, 3K means that the video has 3000 horizontal lines,
each with a width of 1504 pixels. Higher numbers of lines and pixels
result in greater detail and clarity. So, a video with resolution of 5.2K is
considered higher quality than 3K because it consists of 4992 lines, each
with a width of 2496 pixels.

5.2K30
Beautiful high-resolution content. Enables
1080p30 OverCapture videos with the
traditional GoPro look and feel. Results in a
large viewing area, so is recommended for most
situations.
3K60
High frame rate yields the smoothest, most
immersive results for capturing fast-action
activities. Enables 720p60 xed-frame
OverCapture videos. This FPS gives you the
most natural playback in head-mounted displays
(HMDs) and enables slow motion during editing.
VIDEO MODE: SETTINGS
FRAMES PER SECOND FPS
Frames per second (FPS) refers to the number of video frames that are
captured in each second.
When selecting a resolution and FPS combination, consider the activity
that you want to capture. For more details, see Video Resolution (page
