Just out having fun with friends, enjoying the 95 degree weather in Sacramento. This was my first time using my gopro!

I've seen many people who get their first gopro and get lured in by the 1440 resolution without realizing that it plays back in 4:3 (Square). It will serve you better to stick to 1080 and have 16:9 (Widescreen) video. Good first video, put some rain-x on the case to get rid of those water drops and keep at it!

Thanks, I just went to film mode and didnt try any other settings. Just change the setting on the camera itself?

Yep, play around and get used to navigating the menus, then Choose your resolution and frame rate. if you have a 3 or 3+ Black edition the 1080 resolution at 60 FPS allows for you to get some good slow mo footage. Tutorials are all over the place online and will answer any question you have.
