In the preceding section, three FOV angles were discussed. the edges of the shoot will get slightly cut off.can’t be used for time-lapse videos (works for time-lapse photos though).works only for specific frame rates and resolutions.The Liner view will help you get rid of the fisheye effect completely and it’s the best option to use. If you are familiar with the field of view settings you can use on a GoPro, you know that you can get a tighter or wider shot by selecting between different options such as Wide, Medium, Narrow, Superview, or Linear. The Linear FOV isn’t supported when the resolution is 4K UHD videos or even when the resolution is 2.7K and 1080 time-lapse videos. These are the only GoPro models that support the Linear field of view. Please note this will work only for HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black, and HERO5 Session. This is the quickest way of removing the fisheye effect of a GoPro, but not the best in my opinion, as it comes with a few important drawbacks. The first one is to change the settings on the camera, the second one is to correct the fisheye distortion on post-production and the third one is to use a correction lens on your GoPro. If you are using older GoPro models, there are a few different methods to do this. If you are using the GoPro 11 the linear digital lens does a the trick and will eliminate eliminating the fisheye effect. That said this option is not suitable for high-action and adventure videos. The Linear FOV will completely remove the fisheye effect. Linear: Choosing this FOV option will allow you to film visuals at a 90-degree angle. With the Wide FOV, users get to shoot at an angle of 120 degrees. Wide: Your first option if you want to reduce the fisheye look but don’t want it to be completely absent. This FOV angle gives the user greater flexibility and more stable videos.

SuperView FOV is best suited for shaky or action shooting.

This option will give you the full fisheye effect. The maximum angle available under this option is 170 degrees. SuperView: This allows you to record with the widest angle. The FOV setting allows the user to change the angle from which a video is shot. Under the Field of View menu, you’ll see three options: SuperView, Wide, and Linear. You’ll find the details of the effect under Video Settings.

GoPro has the fisheye effect in all its latest models, beginning from GoPro Hero 5 to Hero 11. And it’s quite simple too.īut before that, why do GoPro cameras have the fisheye effect in the first place. OK great, but how do I turn it off? What if I don’t want the fisheye view on my GoPro. That’s because the edges of the lens are built to distort the light which comes into the sensor of your GoPro, creating that fisheye effect. If you look at the lens of your GoPro from the side you will notice that it’s curved.
