SPOT ME TER
Spot Meter is good for filming into a setting where the lighting is 
different from where you are, such as filming the outdoors from within 
a car or filming a shaded environment while standing in the sun. Spot 
Meter automatically sets the exposure based on a single spot in the 
middle of the image. When Spot Meter is turned on, [ 
 ] appears 
on the camera displays. The options for this setting are Off (default) 
and On.
Note: Changes that you make to the Spot Meter setting in Video  mode apply only to video capture.  
To adjust this setting for another mode ( Photo, Burst , or Time Lapse ), adjust the setting within 
that mode.
IN T E R VA L
In  Video  mode, this setting applies only to Looping. Looping lets you 
continuously record and save only the best moments, which helps to 
conser ve space on your microSD card. Available inter vals for looping 
are 5, 20, 60, and 120 minutes. For example, if you select a 5-minute 
inter val, the previous 5 minutes are saved when you stop recording.
You can also select Max as the inter val for Looping. With this option, 
the camera records until the memor y card is full, then over writes the 
content. The default option for Looping is Off.
Note: To use Looping, be sure that your microSD card has sufficient space to create the loop segment 
based on the inter val that you select. If the microSD card becomes full, Looping does not over write 
the content.
PRO TIP:  Files are written to your memor y card in segments. When 
viewing this content on a computer, you might see separate files for 
each time segment. Use GoPro Studio software to combine the files 
into a longer video.
