Before you jump into the water with your new GoPro Hero 13, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

First, make sure to set up your camera beforehand, as it won’t be possible once you’re underwater.

In dit artikel vind je de beste instellingen for capturing underwater photos and videos.

Plus, I’ll share some top accessories that will help you avoid blurry and greenish shots.

Start by watching my tutorial on setting up the GoPro Hero 13 for underwater filming:

 

GoPro HERO 13 Underwater Settings for Photo & Video


Before you do anything, make sure to properly close the battery door. Many GoPros end up leaking because the battery door wasn’t closed correctly. Even a small piece of dust or hair can ruin your camera.

I don’t want to scare you, but being informed means being prepared. So, double-check that your door is sealed tightly, and now you’re ready to set up your camera.

If you want to capture amazing underwater photos and videos with your GoPro HERO 13, you’ll need to tweak a few settings to get the best results before jumping into the water.

Otherwise, you can get a waterdichte behuizing (read on to lean which one).

Quick Settings for Snorkeling & Diving

Here’s a simple setup for snorkeling that should work great for most situations:

  • Resolutie/FPS: 1080p or higher, 60fps
  • FOV: Breed
  • Luik: Auto
  • EV Comp: -0.5
  • WB: Auto
  • ISO Min/Max: 100 / 400
  • Scherpte: Medium or High
  • Kleur: Natural (you can boost it later with GoPro LUTs)
  • 10-Bit: Uit
  • Andere mogelijkheden (like Hindsight, WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth): Off
  • Quick Capture: Definitely a good idea

Hier is why these settings will make a difference:

ISO

Uw ISO helps manage light, so adjust it depending on how bright or dark the water is. Use lower settings (100-400) in bright, shallow water. For deeper or darker areas, bump it up to 800 or 1600 to keep things clear.

Kleur

kleurcorrectie onder water

Choose your mode—photo or video—depending on what you’re doing. For those rich underwater colors, set Witbalans naar Auto or stick with the natuurlijk color profile. Later, when editing, GoPro LUTs can really help bring out the colors and cut down on any greenish tint that might show up in your footage.

Protuneer

Zet aan Protuneer for more control. You can tweak things like scherpte, ISO, and color to get the exact look you want. The spotmeter can also help with keeping your subject properly exposed, especially in tricky lighting.

Resolutie

GoPro 5K-resolutie

Stel de oplossing en frame rate based on what you’re filming. For more detail, go with higher resolution. If you’re taking photos, try using RAUW format to give you more options when editing. For video, higher frame rates are better for fast action, while lower ones give a more cinematic look.

Anti-fog Inserts

Don’t forget to use anti-condens inzetstukken to keep your lens clear, and always double-check that your housing is sealed tight to avoid any leaks. With these settings and the right gear, your GoPro HERO 13 will take some seriously awesome underwater shots. You can also check out some cool accessories listed below to level up your underwater filming.
