Highlights
HERO4 Black/Silver update v05.00
Highlights
- Highlights:
- Enables Karma compatibility.
- Adds Linear FOV.
- Enables live preview and camera control from the Karma Controller,
including starting/stopping recording, changing settings, and more. Enables camera control from the Karma Grip. To learn more about Karma, visit gopro.com/karma.
- Linear field of view (FOV) captures video without the traditional
wide-angle look, for even greater creative flexibility. Available only for 2.7K and 1080p video.
We know all of this... need to know the real-world horror stories from the field!
Did a quick test and i can´t see any difference to v4...
turn camera manually on, did not find the new "Linear FOV" either in solo app or in "capture" app

nope, not in 2.7 and not in 1080P - nothing !
At the updatescreen there was mentioned that this will only be available with the attached touch screen on Hero 4 Black
seems that this is a feature for the H4 in the Handheld Gimbal
let´s see when gopro will decide not to be compatible with solo anymore.....

Correct. Linear FOV works fine (actually surprisingly well) on both the Hero 4 Silver and Black, but you have to select it on the camera, not via the Solo app. In that regard it's just like all the other GoPro settings which are not selectable via the Solo app, which is to be expected, since the Hero 4 update is newer than the Solo app.
ah, found it in the Capture app: at 1080 you must be lower than 50 FPS and on 2.7K lower than 25 FPS (on PAL, NTSC coresponding)
but i cannot find any difference between Linear and Medium FOV....

Same as any of the other FOV settings. In the camera's own setup menu (not the app!), Field of View now offers Wide, Medium, and Linear at 2.7K; and Wide, Medium, Linear, and Narrow at 1080.
NO. You would use 12mp wide. Loaded 5.0 on my non Peau 4 black and will test on my Pixhawk F450 when the wind goes away down here and the sun comes back out.

So, if you shoot in 1080 with linear FOV, you still get the fisheye effect? I thought linear would eliminate it.
Would also like to know if GoPro needs to be manually turned on in the gimbal. (As with v4.0). Thanks!
1080 linear mode de-fisheyes the image just like the 2.7K linear mode does. However, the effective width is different, which is disappointing. If nobody beats me to it, I'll post some shots that directly compare all 5 relevant modes.
Yes it does, unfortunately.
Definitely would like to see the comparison. I'm on v3 and like how everything works.
Will do. Meanwhile, the good people at "Have Camera Will Travel" have put a good comparison online. It's about the Hero 5's linear mode, but don't worry about that, because it's apparently identical to the Hero 4's linear mode: The GoPro HERO5's New Built-In Distortion Correction: Linear FOV
