Congratulations on your new HERO+ camera. This series of videos will show you the basics
of capturing life's most incredible moments with your GoPro. In this video, we'll give
you an overview of the HERO+ camera. To get more details about any of the topics we're
about to cover, download the user manual at gopro.com/getstarted. Here's what's in the
box: HERO+ camera with integrated housing and battery, a microUSB charging cable, a
Standard Backdoor, a Skeleton Backdoor, curved and flat adhesive mounts, a mounting buckle,
a locking plug. Let's take a look at the basics of the HERO+. The camera has three buttons:
a shutter button on the top, a power button on the front, and a Settings/Tag button on
the side. When you're recording video, use the Settings/Tag button to add HiLight Tags
to your video. When you're not recording, this button is a quick way to get in and out
of the settings menu for the mode you're in. Camera status lights blink when you're recording.
There's one on the front and one on the back. The blue Wireless Status light on the front
blinks when wireless is on. On the back of the camera, you'll find a microUSB port and
a microSD card slot. Now, let's insert the microSD card and charge the battery. Open
the camera housing by squeezing the door closed, then lifting the latch. Pivot the latch back
and up to release the backdoor. Insert the card with the label facing the back of the
camera. Your HERO+ comes with a partially charged, built-in battery, but it's a good
idea to fully charge it to get the most out of your first use. Connect your camera to
a computer, or other charging device with the included USB cable. For best results,
be sure the camera is off while it's charging. When the camera is off, the camera status
light turns on during charging, and turns off when charging is complete. To get the
most out of your HERO+, update your camera software using the GoPro App or GoPro Studio
to ensure that you always have the latest features at your fingertips. Visit gopro.com/getstarted
for details. To capture video, power the camera on and press the shutter button. Whenever
a great moment happens, press the Settings/Tag button to add a HiLight Tag to your footage.
HiLight Tags make it easy to find the best moments for easy playback, editing, and sharing.
To stop recording, press the shutter button again. To capture a photo or a series of photos,
press the power/mode button repeatedly to cycle to the mode you want: photo, Burst,
or Time Lapse. Press the shutter button. To stop Time Lapse photos, press the shutter
button again. Want to change your video resolution from 1080p to 720p? Or maybe change the Time
Lapse interval? HERO+ has lots of great settings to choose from. Each mode has its own settings
menu. Press the Settings/Tag button to open the settings menu for that mode, then press
the Power/Mode button to move through the settings list. To change a setting, press
the Shutter/Select button. To exit the settings menu at any point, just press the Settings/Tag
button. A HERO+ comes with two Backdoors. Use the Standard Backdoor in wet, dirty, or
sandy environments. Use the Skeleton Backdoor to get better sound quality, and only when
water, dirt, and sand are not a risk. To change the backdoor on the housing, lift the latch,
then pivot it back and up to release the backdoor. Open the backdoor, then firmly pull it off
the hinge. Push the new backdoor into the hinge until it snaps into place. Be sure the
seal is clean, then close the backdoor. To keep the seal in good condition, especially
when using the housing in dirty or sandy environments, remove the seal and rinse it with fresh water.
The HERO+ can be used with all GoPro mounts. Two adhesive mounts are included in the box,
along with a mounting buckle so you can easily adapt your GoPro to your activities. Adhesive
mounts make it easy to secure the camera to curved or flat surfaces, such as helmets,
vehicles, and other gear. Always attach adhesive mounts to a clean, smooth surface at least
24 hours before use. A locking plug comes with your camera, and can be used to secure
the mounting buckle and help reduce vibration. For more information about anything in this
video, see the HERO+ user manual at gopro.com/getstarted.
