Installing and Pairing
To begin, download the official GoPro app from the Google Play Store. Once installed, power on your GoPro Hero4 Session and enable pairing mode by pressing the button until the Wi-Fi icon appears. Open the GoPro app on your Android device, select 'Add Camera', and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to the camera's Wi-Fi. If you encounter issues, ensure the firmware and app are updated, and try restarting your devices.
App Features and Interface
The app's main screen offers a live preview, allowing users to start or stop recording, take photos, and adjust settings like resolution and frame rate. Key features include remote control, media management, and firmware updates. The app also supports highlight tagging during recording and provides tutorials for users.
Troubleshooting and Tips
If connectivity issues arise, ensure Wi-Fi is enabled, forget and re-add the network, or restart devices. For slow transfers, move closer to the camera or use a USB connection. To prevent app crashes, clear the cache or reinstall the app. Utilize the app for time-lapse setups, explore Protune for advanced controls, and regularly back up footage to your phone or cloud.
