Enabling you to shoot crisp imagery in sequence automatically at 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60 seconds. Simply choose the interval, press the shutter and your HD Hero does the rest, capturing a range of stills in perfect consecutive order. Shooting on 2 second mode, the battery life can last an amazing 2 hours... so create some crazy stories with still photos that capture your every move.
3-Photo Burst Mode: Get the best picture imaginable, without trying! Shooting a sequence of 3 images over a 2 second space in 3-Photo Burst Mode, the GoPro HD HERO 960 eliminates over thinking, while providing professional results. How cool is that?
