High-Performance Video Modes and Camera

Temperatures

The HERO4 Black features unique high-performance video modes:

4K30/24, 4K24 SuperView, 2.7K48/50, 2.7K30 SuperView, 2.7K 4:3,

1440p80, 1080p120/90, 960p120 and 720p120. When using these video modes, it is normal for the camera to become warm and use more power.

Using these high-performance modes in higher temperatures decreases camera recording time. In addition, lack of airflow around the camera, using the camera with the GoPro App, or in combination with BacPac accessories further increases camera temperature and power consumption, and decreases camera recording time.

If the camera gets too hot, a message appears on the screen indicating that the camera is shutting down. The camera stops recording, saves your video, disconnects from the GoPro App, and powers off. If this happens, let your camera sit and cool before attempting to use it again.

For extended recording time in high-performance video modes, capture shorter video clips when in stationary use, and/or limit your use of features that increase power consumption, such as the GoPro

App or BacPac accessories. To control your camera remotely at higher temperatures, use the GoPro remote instead of the GoPro App.

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 localities have laws in place requiring 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: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate or paint the camera. Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening on the camera. Do not use the camera or the battery if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured or harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing the battery can cause an explosion or fire.

/ Camera Housing

Your HERO4 Black camera comes with two types of backdoors:

Standard Backdoor and Skeleton Backdoor.

The Standard Backdoor makes the housing waterproof to 131’ (40m). Use this door when you need to protect the camera from water, dirt, sand and other environmental hazards.

The Skeleton Backdoor (non-waterproof) provides better sound quality by allowing more reduces wind noise at speeds up to 100mph when mounted on helmets, motorcycles, bikes and other fast-moving vehicles. Use this backdoor only when sand, excessive dirt/dust and water damage are not a risk. This backdoor is also recommended for use inside vehicles.

PRO TIP: Apply Rain-X ® or a similar anti-beading solution to the camera housing lens to prevent water spots from forming when using your camera in rain or water.

/ Camera Housing

PREVENTING WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR CAMERA

The rubber seal that lines the camera housing forms a waterproof barrier that protects your HERO4 Black in wet and underwater conditions.

Keep the camera housing’s rubber seal clean. A single hair or grain of sand can cause a leak and damage your camera.

After every use in salt water, rinse the outside of the camera housing with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can eventually cause corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause failure.

To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth may cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves in the backdoor of the camera housing.

WARNING: Failure to follow these steps each time you use your GoPro can result in leaks that may damage or destroy your camera. Water will damage both the camera and the battery, which could cause an explosion or fire. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user error.

MOUNTING GUIDELINES

Follow these guidelines when attaching mounts:

• Attach the adhesive mounts at least 24 hours prior to use.

Allow 72 hours for complete adhesion.

• Adhesive mounts must be mounted only on smooth surfaces.

Porous or textured surfaces do not enable a proper bond. When applying the mount, firmly press it into place and ensure full contact over the entire surface.

• Apply adhesive mounts to clean surfaces only. Wax, oil, dirt or other debris reduce adhesion, which can result in a weak bond and risk of losing the camera should the connection fail.

• Attach adhesive mounts in room temperature conditions.

Mount adhesives do not bond properly if applied in cold or damp environments to cold or damp surfaces, or if the surface is not room temperature.

For more information on mounts, visit gopro.com/support.

WARNING: If using your camera with a GoPro helmet mount or strap, always select a helmet that meets the applicable safety standard. Choose the right helmet for your particular sport or activity and make sure that it is the right fit and size for you.

Inspect your helmet to ensure that it is in good condition and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions on safe helmet use. Any helmet that has sustained a major impact should be replaced. No helmet can protect against injury in every accident.

82

/ Using the Mounts

LOCKING PLUG

If you are using the HERO4 Black in high-impact sports such as surfing or skiing where significant impact might occur, use the locking plug to securely lock the Quick Release Buckle fingers into place. The locking plug helps to prevent the housing from accidentally releasing from the mount.

To Attach the Locking Plug:

1. Loop the circular ring over the thumbscrew. The circular ring acts as a leash to prevent dropping or losing the locking plug.

2. Slide the Quick Release Buckle into the mount until it clicks into place.

3. Press the U-shaped part of the plug into the U-shaped space in the Quick Release Buckle.

WARNING: To avoid injury in the event of an accident, do not use the locking plug or tether when using a mounting device on a helmet or other personal protective gear.
