How do I update the firmware on my GoPro camera?
Updating the firmware on a GoPro camera is a straightforward process that ensures the camera operates with the latest features and improvements. First, it is important to establish the current firmware version of the camera by accessing the settings menu. Users should connect the camera to the GoPro app on their smartphone or visit the GoPro website to check for any available updates.
If an update is available, download it to your computer or smartphone. For camera updates, the user typically needs to format a microSD card and then transfer the firmware update file onto it. Once this is done, the user should insert the card back into the camera.
When the camera is turned on, it will automatically detect the new firmware and prompt the user to proceed with the update. It is essential to allow the update process to complete without interruption, as powering off the camera during this time could result in failure. After updating, it is advisable to verify that the new firmware version has been successfully installed through the settings menu. For further information, users can refer to the current web page.
