Battery Information

MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE

Here are some things you can do to maximize battery life:
• Capture video at lower frame rates and resolutions.
• Use the Screensaver and lower the screen Brightness.
• Turn off GPS.
• Turn off Wireless Connections.
• Use these settings:
• QuikCapture
• Auto Power Off

RECORDING WHEN PLUGGED INTO A POWER SOURCE

You can use the USB-C cable that came with your HERO8 Black to shoot
videos and photos while your camera is plugged in to a USB-charging
adapter, the GoPro Supercharger, another GoPro charger, or the
GoPro Portable Power Pack. This is perfect for capturing long videos
and time lapse events.
Even though your camera is charging, the battery will not charge during
recording. It will start charging when you stop recording. You cannot
record while your camera is plugged into a computer.
Heads Up: Because the door is open, your camera is not waterproof
when charging.
