It is always recommended to shoot on a low ISO to avoid grain, or noise, in the final image but if your not diving with video lights and your dive site consists of dark caves or even if it’s a cloudy day, a higher ISO is necessary.

If your GoPro is a waterproof model and you are staying within its required shallow depths, then you may be able to get away with manual settings since you’ll have the ability to change them without a dive housing but for the rest of us, playing it safe for all lighting scenarios is the best. I recommend a number of these to be either on auto or off because of the limitations with touch screen controls underwater.

Having an external video or focus light could greatly improve your images not only for this specifically but all around with any setting on the GoPro. We all love to have the option to fine tune our content but keep in mind that one setting will not suit all especially if you plan on switching from video to photo during the same dive or if your dive site consists of bright light AND dark nooks and crannies. This could potentially make or break your images. If you’re up for the challenge, GoPro now has an option to manually set your shutter speed.

The newer GoPro models offer RAW plus jpeg which is incredible to have both the RAW file and a ‘no editing needed’ jpeg that is ready to share. Do you prefer the camera to call the shots? Would you like to have a file ready to share without having to edit it first? When it comes to shooting photos with your GoPro, a number of settings could be labeled as 'best' depending on your preferences. But be aware, two hours of recording time at the 10 second interval will only render a 20 second final clip! A 10 second interval works well for a smooth playback of rolling clouds. Chances are that we have more options to shoot slower moving subjects like the clouds or a sunset. If not, then the fish swimming by will have only been partly recorded and will end up making the video appear a bit "skippy". It's always best to take more photos (.5 second intervals) for the smoothest playback. If you have a very slow moving subject like a sea star cruising across the sand you can get away with 2 or maybe 5 second intervals but be aware that the camera would need to be held very steady for a decent turn out. 5 or 1 second selection for fast moving subjects. For the smoothest rendition of underwater scenes, I’d suggest the. Time Lapse takes photos at predesignated intervals and ultimately stitches them together to create a video playback.

You may need to drop it down to 2.7k 60p, 4k at 30fps or even 1080p to view it on your laptop. Be sure to test your editing system with a sample video first to be sure it can process the 60fps. To further add to the feel of a professional quality, I highly recommend 60 fps at 4k resolution.
