I’ve just published my full GoPro Hero 12 Beginners Guide, as a follow-on to past beginners’ guides – including the GoPro Hero 10 Beginners Guide, which has amassed more than 1.4 million views. In this guide I take you from opening the seal on the box, through to pairing up the camera, all the components, how to use the different modes, and plenty more. That includes getting into specialty modes like the night effects and TimeWarp, as well as more advanced tidbits like enabling LOG recording, HDR, and more.
As usual with any of my beginner’s guides, it’s not so much a review, as more a tutorial on how to use the products, after using it a ton myself. In this case, if you want the GoPro Hero 12 Black In-Depth Review, you can find that here.
