Manuals of product HERO 4
Editorial note
The GoPro HERO 4 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to a maximum video resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a total of 12 megapixels for photos. These features ensure clear and detailed images, providing an immersive visual experience for users. Its robust and waterproof design up to 40 meters allows for use in various environments and challenging weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for adventurers. Additionally, the built-in LCD screen makes it easy to view videos and photos, making the device very convenient to use. The wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is an added advantage, simplifying content sharing. However, the GoPro HERO 4 has some drawbacks. The battery life, limited to 1.5 hours, may prove insufficient for extended recording sessions, especially without the possibility of recharging. Furthermore, the lack of built-in GPS limits certain geolocation features, which could disappoint users wanting to track their outdoor adventures. Finally, although the weight of 88 g is reasonable, it can become tiring during prolonged use, and the audio quality, while acceptable, may not satisfy professional users seeking high-fidelity sound capture. In summary, the GoPro HERO 4 is an excellent choice for those looking for a quality camera, but it has limitations that should be considered based on the intended use.Score details
