HIGH RESOL 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.
How to Keep Your Camera from Getting Too Hot
Your camera was designed to be cooled by airflow. For the longest
possible runtime, make sure there is enough air circulating around your
camera while it’s recording. It will automatically shut down if it gets too
hot. Simply let it cool down before using it again.
If heat is still 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 off.

ASPECT RATIO (VIDEO)
Aspect ratio refers to the width and height of an image. Your GoPro
captures videos three aspect ratios.
16:9
This is the standard format used for HDTV and editing programs.
The widescreen format is ideal for capturing dramatic, cinematic
footage.
4:3
The tall 4:3 format captures more of the scene than the 16:9 widescreen
format. It’s great for selfies and point-of-view footage.
8:7
This ultra immersive format is the tallest and widest field of view ever on
a GoPro HERO camera—allowing you to capture more of the scene in
each shot. This lets you zoom in and focus on chosen sections of your
footage to create high-resolution punchouts of the action in any aspect
ratio while cropping out the rest of the shot using the GoPro Quik app
or other editing software.
Heads Up:
Black bars will appear on both sides of the screen when
playing back 4:3 and 8:7 footage on an HDTV.
