Bicycles Asked on February 27, 2021
I’m using a GoPro 9 set to "Looping", "Superview" mounted in a protective case on top of my cycle helmet. The video however is so speeded up as to be unusable as a cycle cam. I believe there was at least one firmware update while I was on the bench with an injury.
I turn it on using the "Quick Record" feature by pressing the "Record" button on top in lieu of the "Power" button on the side. This both powers the camera on and starts recording with a single button press.
Googling the problem only returned THIS, but I’ve checked the settings and neither "Time Lapse" or any other mode has been changed.
How do I record video at normal speed?!?!?
A potential firmware update being the cause was a red herring; no fault was introduced via any FW update. Nor were any settings incorrect. The "fault" was in fact a "feature":
If you long-press the "Record" button on top of the GoPro for 3 seconds it initiates "Time Lapse" with "Quick Capture" and overrides the manual settings.
This is why you clearly see "Time Lapse" is active in the videos, but you can't see any evidence of it when you check your settings: Long-Pressing only sets it non-persistently making it difficult to troubleshoot.
Since the GoPro is in a protective case, when reaching up on top of my helmet activating it with gloves on, I was mashing the button down for too long because the camera doesn't give immediate feedback that it's actually on. Be warned...
That devil was buried in the "Using Quick Capture" section of the GoPro Manual on page 44 of the GoPro 9 PDF User Guide.
