GoPro Settings Menu Overview - One Button Mode

Mark Zealand gives a quick tutorial on the One Button Mode for your GoPro HD HERO. Turning this mode ‘ON’ forces the camera to automatically begin recording video or photos once the camera is turned on, depending on which default power up mode the camera is set to.

The shutter button is disabled in One Button Mode and will not start or stop the recording while the camera is on. One Button Mode is convenient when you only want to shoot one type of video or photos and prefer to simplify operation of the camera to be either on and recording or off with only the power button being used to operate the camera. This is a great Simple Mode for loaning the camera to friends not as experienced as you!

At any rate, watch as Mark breaks it down for you in style, as always!
