Welcome to your new Fusion! Let’s get started.

MICROSD CARDS

Fusion requires two microSD cards (sold separately). Use brand name memory cards that meet these requirements:

  • microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC

  • Class 10 or UHS-II/III rating

  • Capacity up to 128GB

For best results, we recommend that the brand, speed rating, and capacity of the cards are the same. For a list of the recommended microSD cards, visit gopro.com/workswithgopro.

Always think of the two cards as partners. When you replace one, replace the other.

If your cards become full during recording, your camera stops recording and displays FULL on the status screen. For cards with different capacities, this message appears when the smaller card becomes full.

📘

NOTICE: Use care when handling memory cards. Avoid liquids, dust and debris. As a precaution, power off the camera before inserting or removing the cards. For information about use in acceptable temperature ranges, check the memory card manufacturer’s guidelines.

Inserting the microSD Cards

  1. Hold down the Latch Release button on the battery door, then slide the door open.

  2. Insert two microSD cards with the labels facing the battery, then close the door.

    📘

    Note: To remove a card, press it into the slot with your fingernail and it will pop out.

Reformatting Your microSD Cards

For best performance, always reformat your microSD cards before first use. To keep the cards in good condition, reformat them on a regular basis.

📘

NOTICE: Reformatting erases all of your content, so be sure to offload your photos and videos first.

  1. Press the Mode button [ ] repeatedly until you get to Settings [ ], then press the Shutter button [ ] to select it.

  2. Press the Shutter button [ ] repeatedly until you get to Preferences [ ].

  3. Press the Mode button [ ] repeatedly until you get to Format, then press the Shutter button [ ] to select it.

  4. Press the Mode button [ ] to highlight which card(s) you want to reformat, then press the Shutter button [ ] to select it.

  5. Press the Mode button [ ] to highlight Yes, then press the Shutter button [ ] to select it.

🚧

WARNING: Use caution when using your GoPro as part of your active lifestyle. Always be aware of your surroundings to avoid injury to yourself and others.

Abide by all local laws when using your GoPro and related mounts and accessories, including all privacy laws, which may restrict recording in certain areas.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

For the best experience with your new camera, we recommend fully charging the battery before first use.

  1. Hold down the Latch Release button on the battery door, then slide the door open.

  2. Insert the battery, then close the door.

  3. Hold down the Latch Release button on the side door, then slide the door open.

  4. Connect the camera to Supercharger or another wall charger (both sold separately) using the included USB-C cable.

The camera status light on the front of the camera turns on during charging and turns off when charging is complete.

For wall chargers, the battery charges to 100% in about 3.5 hours. Supercharger charges the battery in about 2 hours. For more information, see Battery Information.

📘

PRO TIP: For fastest charging, use GoPro’s Supercharger (sold separately) and its included cable. You can also charge your camera with a USB-compatible wall charger or auto charger.
