The action camera GoPro Hero 4 was launched in November last year loaded with key features that made it one of the most technologically-advanced video and photo devices in the market.
But some three months after its launch, a small patch was unveiled to the camera to make it even flashier and high-tech including the ability to snap 30 photos from one to six seconds, details Tech Crunch.
Such feature of the GoPro Hero 4 is called 30/6 Burst Mode and it is the attribute of the camera that makes it quite ideal for snapping pictures of sports with extreme actions and some sort of long airtimes including snowboarding, dirtbiking, bungee-jumping, and the like.
Other add-on features
The 30/6 Burst Mode is just one of the three main updates that came to both the two variants of GoPro Hero 4 with the small patch and the two other features are the Time Lapse Video and the Auto Rotate.
Time lapse is a series of photos put together into a video manually. With the Time Lapse Video feature of the GoPro Hero 4, users need no longer put together the photos into a video manually because the device automatically turns them into video right away.
The Auto Rotate feature of the GoPro Hero 4 enables the camera to sense if it’s mounted upside down or in whatever position and shall auto-rotate the video accordingly. The camera orientation will lock as soon as the users hit the record button.
Performance action cameras
The GoPro Hero4 comes in two different models – the Hero4 Black and the Hero4 Silver – with the former pricier by $100 from the latter.
However, both action cameras have stunning image quality and powerful new features that take the Emmy Award-winning GoPro performance to a whole new level.
Hero4 Black comes with incredible high-resolution 4K30 and 2.76K video and a remarkably high frame rate of 1080p120 video. It also features a more powerful A9 processor that delivers super slow motion at 240 frames per second.
Combined with the powerful new features and technologies including improvement to audio, usability, wireless connectivity, among other facets, the GoPro Hero4 Black is the most advanced and highest-performing GoPro action camera ever.
On the other hand, Hero4 Silver blends pro-quality video and image capture with the convenience of built-in touch display.
The GoPro Hero 4 is also lightweight and is very durable too as it can take a good deal of wear and tear.
The action camera weighs less than 100 grams so it is also very easy to carry or strap in various extreme situations, which are common among extreme sports fans.
Unlike its predecessor, the GoPro Hero3, which was powered by an A7 processor, the GoPro Hero4 sports a more powerful A9 chip.
