settings that extend the capture options beyond simply pressing the
shutter button.
HINDSIGHT
HindSight is a powerful feature that can capture up to 30 seconds of
video before you press the Shutter button. This lets you record key

the video it captured before you pressed the Shutter button (up to 30
seconds) and will continue recording until you stop the video.

USING THE ADHESIVE MOUNTS
Follow these guidelines when attaching adhesive mounts to helmets,
vehicles, and gear:
• Attach mounts at least 24 hours before you use them.
• Only attach the mounts to smooth surfaces. They won’t stick
properly to porous or textured surfaces.
• Firmly press mounts into place. Be sure the adhesive is in full contact
with the surface.
• Only use on clean, dry surfaces. Wax, oil, dirt, or other debris will
weaken the bond, and you could lose your camera.
• Attach mounts in dry, room-temperature conditions. They won’t stick
properly in cold or damp environments or on cold or damp surfaces.
• Check state and local regulations and laws to ensure that attaching
a camera to equipment (such as hunting gear) is permitted. Always
comply with regulations that restrict the use of consumer electronics
or cameras.
WARNING: To avoid injury, do not use a tether when mounting
your camera on a helmet. Do not mount the camera directly
on skis or snowboards.
For more information about mounts, visit gopro.com.
Mounting Your GoPro
WARNING: Always use a helmet that meets applicable safety
standards if you’re using a GoPro helmet mount or strap.
Choose the right helmet for your sport or activity, and make
sure that it’s the right size and fit for you. Check to see that
your helmet’s in good condition, and always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on safe use.
Replace any helmet that’s been subjected to a major impact.
No helmet can protect against injury in every accident.
Be safe.
USING YOUR GOPRO IN + AROUND WATER

RECORDING WHEN PLUGGED INTO A POWER SOURCE
You can use the USB-C cable that came with your camera to shoot
videos and photos while your camera is plugged in to a USB-charging
adapter, the GoPro Supercharger, or other external power source.
This is perfect for capturing long videos and time lapse events.
Be careful not to touch the area near the SD card slot when recording.
Disturbing the SD card could interrupt or stop the recording. Your
camera will let you know if this happens. Your content will not be
damaged or lost as a result of this disturbance, but you may need
to restart your camera to continue.
Even though your camera is charging, the battery will not charge during
recording. It will start charging when you stop recording. You cannot
record while your camera is plugged into a computer.
Battery Information
120 121
Heads Up: Because the door is open, your camera is not waterproof
when charging.
PRO TIP: Use the USB Pass-Through Door (sold separately) to keep your
camera weather resistant and the battery in place when plugged into an
external power source.
WARNING: Using a non-GoPro wall charger or power cable
could damage your camera battery and could lead to fire
or leakage. With the exception of the GoPro Supercharger
(sold separately), only use chargers marked Output 5V 1A. If
you don’t know your charger’s voltage and current, use the
included USB-C cable to charge your camera with a computer.
BATTERY STORAGE + HANDLING
Your GoPro is full of sensitive components, including the battery.
Avoid exposing your camera to very hot or cold temperatures. Extreme
temperatures may temporarily shorten battery life or cause your camera
to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic temperature or
humidity changes as condensation may form on or within the camera.
Do not dry your camera with an external heat source such as a
microwave oven or a hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery
caused by contact with liquid inside the camera is not covered under
the warranty.
Do not store your battery with metal objects like coins, keys, or
necklaces. If the battery terminals come in contact with metal objects,
this may cause a fire.
Battery Information Battery Information
Do not make any unauthorized alterations to your camera. Doing so may
compromise safety, regulatory compliance, and performance, and may
void the warranty.

Troubleshooting
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Most rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are classified as non-hazardous
waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
Many regions require battery recycling. Check your local laws to make
sure that you can dispose of rechargeable batteries in your regular
trash. To safely dispose of lithium-ion batteries, protect terminals from
exposure to other metal with packing, masking, or electrical tape so they
do not cause a fire while being transported.
Lithium-ion batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and
are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation’s (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program. We encourage
you to visit Call2Recycle at call2recycle.org or call 1-800-BATTERY
in North America to find a convenient recycling location.
Never dispose of a battery in a fire because it may explode.
WARNING: Only use GoPro replacement batteries, power
cables, and battery charging accessories or devices with your
camera.
Using an older GoPro battery or non-GoPro battery could
greatly limit your camera’s performance, will void your
warranty, and may cause fire, electric shock or other safety
risk.

High Resolutions/High Frame Rates
Shooting high-resolution or high-fps video when it’s warm out can cause
your camera to heat up and use more power.
Lack of airflow and connecting to the GoPro Quik app can cause your
camera to warm up even more, use even more power, and shorten
recording time.
If heat’s a problem, try recording shorter videos. Also limit use
of features that take a lot of power, such as the GoPro Quik app.
The Remote (sold separately) can control your GoPro while using
less energy.
Your camera will tell you if it needs to shut down and cool o.

and more. Your GoPro has four HyperSmooth settings:
Setting Description
Boost
Maximum video stabilization with tight
cropping.
High Maximum video stabilization.
Standard
Slightly reduced video stabilization for
increased battery life.
O Records without video stabilization or cropping.
You can smooth out your footage even more by using Touch Zoom to
crop your shots before you start recording. This will give your camera
an even bigger buer to use when stabilizing your video. Using the
Linear + Horizon Leveling lens will also enhance stabilization.
PRO TIP: Use Max Lens Mod (sold separately) to max out your GoPro
with the ultimate in unbreakable video stabilization up to 2.7K.

single shot to bring out the details in scenes that mix bright light
and shadows.
Multi-Frame Noise Reduction
Automatically combines multiple shots into a single photo with less
digital distortion (noise).
Standard Photo
Includes Local Tone Mapping, which enhances photos by boosting the
details and contrast only where it’s needed.
SuperPhoto only works for single photos. Because of the extra time
needed to apply image processing, it may take a little longer to process
and save each shot.
Heads Up: SuperPhoto does not work with RAW photos, Protune,
or Exposure Control.
