"OH SH!T" - Using GoPro Voice Commands to Capture Epic Moments


When it comes to action sports and adventure photography, GoPro cameras are a go-to choice for capturing high-quality video footage. But what happens when you're in the middle of an epic moment and can't fumble with buttons or touchscreens to start recording? That's where GoPro voice commands come in. With a simple voice command, you can control your GoPro with ease, and one command in particular stands out - the "oh shit" command.


The "oh shit" command is a life-saver for capturing those unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime moments. It automatically saves the last 15 seconds of footage before and after you say "oh shit." This means that if you're in the middle of an epic moment, or perhaps about to encounter an unavoidable obstacle, and you want to save it, you can simply say "oh shit" and your GoPro will automatically save the footage.

To activate the "oh shit" command, go to your GoPro's settings and enable "Voice Control." Once enabled, you can say "oh shit" at any time to save your footage. Keep in mind that this command only saves the footage to your SD card, so you'll need to transfer it to your computer or phone to share it with others.


Other voice commands that can come in handy include "GoPro, start recording," "GoPro, stop recording," "GoPro, take a photo," "GoPro, turn off," "GoPro, start time-lapse," "GoPro, stop time-lapse," "GoPro, battery level," "GoPro, start live streaming," and "GoPro, stop live streaming." However, the "oh shit" command is the one that sets GoPro apart from other action cameras, as it allows you to capture those unexpected moments that you may have otherwise missed.


GoPro voice commands are a great way to control your camera without having to take your hands off your equipment. Whether you're skiing down a mountain, surfing big waves, or just enjoying a day out with friends, voice commands make it easy to capture your adventures without missing a beat. So, next time you're out on an adventure and you want to save a special moment, don't forget to say "oh shit" to your GoPro.
