Make Sure You have the Latest Software

For the latest features and optimal performance, be sure your HERO10 Black has the latest software. The fastest and easiest way to update it is with the GoPro Quik app. You can also update it manually.

Use Real GoPro Batteries

For maximum performance, use GoPro batteries designed for HERO10 Black. Non-GoPro batteries may fit in your camera, but could limit its performance. They may also break your camera and could cause safety risks.

Maximizing Battery Life

Use HERO10 Black’s Extended Battery mode to maximize your camera’s runtime. It uses the most energy-efficient resolutions and frame rates to extend battery life. Swipe down on the rear touch screen and tap the lightning bolt icon to access this mode.

Get an SD Card That Can Keep Up

You’ll need an SD card that’s capable of meeting the high-performance demands of HERO10Black. Use a brand-name card that fits these requirement: microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC. Rated Classv30, UHS-3 or higher. Capacity up to 512GB

Capturing Longer Stationary Shots

Use the Tripod/Stationary mode for tripod-mounted or other still shots longer than 20 minutes. These shots require airflow to cool your camera. There’s likely to be less airflow for still shots (especially indoors). This mode lowers the frame rate to 30fps where airflow is not a factor. Swipe down on the rear touch screen and tap the lightning bolt icon to access this mode.
