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 airow and connecting to the GoPro app can cause your camera
to warm up even more, use 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, like the GoPro app. The GoPro Smart 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. To learn
more, see Important Messages (page 63).
