High Resolutions/High Frame Rates
When capturing video at high resolutions or high frame rates in warm
ambient temperatures, the camera may become warm and use more power.
In addition, lack of airflow around the camera and using the camera with the
Capture app further increase camera temperature and power consumption,
and decrease camera recording time.
If the camera gets too hot, a message appears on the screen indicating
that the camera is shutting down. For details, see
(page 78).
When recording 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 Capture app. To control your
camera remotely at higher temperatures, use a GoPro remote or Remo
(Waterproof Voice Activated Remote) (both sold separately) instead
of Capture.
INTERVAL (VIDEO)
The Interval setting determines the amount of time that passes between
each captured frame.
Video + Photo Intervals
Available photo intervals for Video + Photo range are 5 (default), 10, 30,
and 60 seconds. The quality of the photo depends on the selected video
resolution and FOV.
Looping Video Intervals
Available intervals for Looping are 5 (default), 20, 60, and 120 minutes. You
can also select Max as the interval. With this option, the camera records
until the memory card is full, then overwrites the content.
