Great GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition walkthrough. I just got a GoPro Hero 4 Black so this was really informative. Thanks and enjoy the rest of the week. :-)
Some considerations on your review: Sharpness should always be low, or at least medium if you want to avoid sharpening artefacts. EV isn't composition, it's exposure compensation. You don't set an ISO on the GoPro. You set your maximum auto ISO limit.
Great Video! I was struggling there in terms of the wifi. Each Video that I viewed was only quickly touching base on the wifi selection and moving on to the go pro app. However your video explained it much better than what I have seen. Thanks so much!
Very nice walk-through, much more informative than the printed manual. I have the hero 4 silver for a day now; managed to use it through the gopro app on my tablet. Works like a charm, but it's good to be able to tune the camera on the go, without any extra devices. Cheers!
Imagine the poor person who's responsibility it is to manage all the GoPro cams on TV shows like 'Top Gear' or 'Mythbusters' etc. Ensuring all the cameras are charged, all are on the right settings, making sure they have a memory card with plenty of space and, god forbid, make sure they don't lose that tiny little card with an all important action scene saved on it, or accidently erase the card full of Clarkson's ramblings. I struggle to manage just one GoPro with all the settings and it's a never ending battle ensuring I have enough power and card space etc. But still a lot of fun and I wouldn't be dead for quids. I keep coming back to this helpful video, thanks.
Great Video, very helpful. you said during a time lapse sunset you would do a shot every 5 seconds? would you need to change your ISO settings during the sunset or would the camera recognize the light change? Also would you recommend using the video mode timelape or the photo mode?
I always do the photo mode time lapse in M mode. You have more control that way. If a setting does need to be changed I would do the ISO yes leave the aperture alone and shutter alone if possible.
When I hold down the button that looks like a wrench in order to setup the WIFI with the GoPro it does nothing. I held it for a few seconds like you did and it doesn't do anything. Just purchased it. Maybe it needs to be setup first before that options works?
+mista808 How did you go? I bought a GoPro (January 2016) and the WIFI didn't work at all. I returned it to my seller and got a replacement. All works good now.
do you have preferred settings for actions videos, night , under water etc? i just got the gopro and my videos looked a bit grainy. pics were satisfactory.
This video is basically a rendition of the owners manual. I was hoping to find out a little bit more about what each setting does and what it's useful for.
Thank you for the video, it is very helpful. I have one question, I recorded a soccer practice in 4k mode at 30 frames and when I am watching it on my Laptop (MacPro) it plays it really slow and it almost seems like it is freezing? I appreciate your help. Thanks
Hey really nice video but I have a question about Picture mode (Burst). I want to know which protune option is better to use for best quality picture after post-editing? 1) WB-Auto // Color-Gopro OR 2) WB-Native // Color-Flat If I edit the picture with 1st option (Auto/Gopro), would it look bad? (Color correction/Contrast/other edits)? Media Unlocked
There must be something before this. My wifi won't turn on with the GoPro off. And I don't know a thing about the GoPro App. I did go ahead and watch this in case I can ever get this far. Thank you for sharing.
I purchased my GoPro Hero 4 Silver last month and I am trying to "play" with the camera a couple times each week, just to get the hang of it. As a photographer, I have a general idea of how to use the camera, but using the menu to change the settings, is not intuitive for me at all...I have watched your video 3x each time picking up something new. Thank you!
Hey! I have a big question! Hope you can help me out! :) I am filming a cycling ride/race for a DVD this Sunday and I've been trying to get the best settings for days but it just doesn't seem to be right... It looks like a normal camera from a phone and I get grainy videos even when there is enough light, any advice on settings??
holding the setting button to turn on wi-fi What happens when settings button is pressed..camera TURNS ON to "wireless" menu ..then I choose Gopro app, and get "pairing" flashing with a countdown clock, at this piont the blue light IS flashing ... but I do not see the camera on my wi-fi list on iphone X.
Hello my friend Thank you for this interesting and beautiful video I purchased gopro hero4 black I did not find a property time lapse video Are is property exists or does not respond please and thank you
Hi , i know it is silly question , how to tell the visual difference between black and silver version when you buying second hand gopro 4 , i want to buy black , just all of them looks the same to me , afraid to receive not what i want , is there any simple way ?
Tibor Mestyanek thanks , i thought the back lcd is optional accessory , this is absolutely new thing to me , never had one in my hand , just bought new 4black , hopefully will receive it shortly ,thanks
Why do my photos and videos look grainy on my hero 4 silver? I tried to take a picture of snail and it looked like crap. I also tried to take a video of me playing soccer with my chesty mount but it still looked grainy on video also. Please help!
Belmar Santiago Maybe you have the wrong micro SD for your Gopro. These are the ones that are compatible with Gopro hero 4. gopro.com/support/articles/software-update-release
When will the stupid manufacturers learn that the simpler the better. Only one in 10 thousand needs or learns all that unnecessary crap. I have video cameras since 1990 and every time they come with a new one, it is very different and always more complicated. I am totally burned out by all the unnecessary crap I have to learn with the new stuff.
It's really an awful piece of kit for the price. I spend hours trying to work out how to operate the studio and it just doesn't work on windows 10, half the time I can't find the footage I have shot and when I do it won't load. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Pile of crap really. To much fiddling, crashing and bugs. I wish I had never bought one. I'll stick to my mobile phone, it's simple and bug free.

+Miguel Baptista what do you mean maximum ISO limit? As in the camera will use whatever ISO it wants to up to the certain point you set it at?
+Bobby Bryant yup!

About the battery and it's little pull tab. If it breaks off, you can gently tap the camera and the battery will come out.
Have you recently started boxing?

I had no idea this GoPro was WiFi.. lol ur video helped and it’s much easier to control n set up the camera thru the app n fone.. thanks bro!!

You might have your ISO to high
Спасибо, информативно, быстро и понятно!

+Arthur Guy sorry about that I guess I could have gone in to more depth about it. What would you like to know?
Thank you for the video, it is very helpful. I have one question, I recorded a soccer practice in 4k mode at 30 frames and when I am watching it on my Laptop (MacPro) it plays it really slow and it almost seems like it is freezing? I appreciate your help. Thanks
+Jose Martinez Is your laptop older as 4k footage is very taxing and will not play back right if your computer can not handle it.
Your computer isn't powerful enough to munch all that data. 4K files are huge. Playback on a basic laptop will be cumbersome.
just got my hero 4 silver and love it. thanks for the tips, the obvious question is.... what have you been punching?
+ghandi555ev haha I can remeber what I was doing that caused my hands to look so beat up
You talked about putting an overlay image that had the gpHero4 somewhere, do you know where I can find it?
theHilariousGales What one? What time during the video
Media Unlocked I'm sorry I didn't even think to look at the timestamp. Its 7:43.
theHilariousGales I am sorry did not add that here you go this web site will help havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/gopro-icons

Mini HDMI or Micro HDMI??
They've increased the ISO with the 3.00.00 update, it can now do up to 3200 in video.
nice I have not done the new update yet
Where are all those links you promised! ;)
Would love to see them on photo/mode/shutter etc.
sorry man can not find the chart any more just looked for it.
There must be something before this. My wifi won't turn on with the GoPro off. And I don't know a thing about the GoPro App. I did go ahead and watch this in case I can ever get this far. Thank you for sharing.
+pkincy You need to set it up with the app first then turn the wifi on. Then you can control it from the app.
thank you this video helped me set up my go pro :D
Happy to help.
Good video man. Btw it's ev compensation*
Where I can find the link for the settnings that you have print on your vieo.. 7:43

+Andy Simmons Are you shooting in 4k what size type and speed is your memory card? make sure your lens is clean.
Great video!, keep them coming. bye
Thanks
My dad bought one and it game in polish, but we arent polish. How do i change the language?
What would be the best setting for really good quality video because on the app it appears to be not so good quality
+sophie2001ful Once you put the card in the computer it will look much better.
+sophie2001ful Having good lighting is very important as well
+Media Unlocked Thankyou
so there is no narrow field of view when filming in 4K mode??? can i crop the video in editing??
+zeusfaber11 Yes and yes
where is the link for that sheet of icons and meanings thanks

Hi , i know it is silly question ,
how to tell the visual difference between black and silver version when you buying second hand gopro 4 , i want to buy black , just all of them looks the same to me , afraid to receive not what i want , is there any simple way ?
A Bel Gopro hero 4 SILVER has a built-in LCD, BLACK edition does not have it ;)
Tibor Mestyanek thanks , i thought the back lcd is optional accessory , this is absolutely new thing to me , never had one in my hand , just bought new 4black , hopefully will receive it shortly
,thanks
So true!!! Why wouldn't they make the silver 'silver' and the black 'black'? Weird!
why would they?
Why do my photos and videos look grainy on my hero 4 silver? I tried to take a picture of snail and it looked like crap. I also tried to take a video of me playing soccer with my chesty mount but it still looked grainy on video also. Please help!
+Jaxson Zamora what are your settings?
+Media Unlocked idk (I don't know a lot about gopros I got it for skiing and air soft but whenever I use it it looks terrible.
+Jaxson Zamora have you cleaned the lens does it get foggy when using it?
+Media Unlocked yes and it doesn't get foggy
usually grainy videos are the result of high iso
I have a hero4 black and my quality is awful, what do i do?
Could you post examples with setting used? Just add a link
Good video! Just sort your focus out.
AverageFriendlyGamer thanks
why is there no screen at the back so i can see what im recording
because the black shoots in 4K and it will overheat if it has a screen.. However the new Hero 5 Black has 4k and and lcd
Why i dont have on Gopro black 4 timelapse mode ?
Ivan Kristić try updating the firmware
awesome video man!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks happy I was able to help
Cheers for a good video. But "Pro Tunes" as you pronounced it, implies playing songs like Apple's abominable iTunes!
this camera sucks it always freezes and it always shows a busy message not letting you do anything.
Belmar Santiago I have had no problems with mine so far but have heard of people having issues.
Belmar Santiago Maybe you have the wrong micro SD for your Gopro. These are the ones that are compatible with Gopro hero 4.

I couldn’t agree with you more!
everyone do not buy this camara
It's really an awful piece of kit for the price. I spend hours trying to work out how to operate the studio and it just doesn't work on windows 10, half the time I can't find the footage I have shot and when I do it won't load. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Pile of crap really. To much fiddling, crashing and bugs. I wish I had never bought one. I'll stick to my mobile phone, it's simple and bug free.
