GoPro HERO11 Black Mini User Manual Important Messages

Problems are rare, but your GoPro will let you know if anything comes up. Here are some of the icons you might see on your camera's status screen and what they mean.

CAMERA IS TOO HOT

The Temperature icon appears on the status screen if your camera becomes too hot and needs to cool down. Your camera was designed to recognize when it’s at risk of exceeding its thermal limits and will shut down when needed. Simply let it sit and cool before using it again.

Heads Up: The operating ambient temperature range of your HERO11 Black Mini is 14° F ~ 95° F (-10° C ~ 35° C). Its normal charging temperature range is 32° F ~ 95° F (0° C ~ 35° C). High temperatures will cause your camera to use more power and drain the battery faster.

PRO TIP: HERO11 Black Mini was made to capture action. The air that flows around the camera while recording action helps keep your camera cool. For the best performance and longest runtimes, make sure there is enough airflow around your camera when in use. You can also lower the resolution and frame rate to reduce the risk of your GoPro getting too hot. Shooting video at a high resolution and frame rate will cause your camera to heat up faster, especially in hot environments.

BATTERY IS TOO COLD

Your camera may not turn on or may not be able to record with high-performance settings if the battery is too cold (below 14° F, -10° C).

PRO TIP: For the best cold-weather performance, charge your camera to 100% before going out in the cold. Keep your camera in your pants, bib, or jacket pocket until you're ready to record.

SD CARD ERROR

Your GoPro can detect a variety of problems with your SD card. Problems can be due to, but not limited to, electrostatic discharge. Restart your camera if this occurs. It will automatically try to repair any damaged files and restore your camera back to full function.

REPAIRING YOUR FILE

Your GoPro will automatically try to fix damaged files. Files can be damaged if your camera loses power while recording or if there’s a problem saving the file. The File Repair icon will appear on the touch screen when a repair is in progress. Your camera will let you know when it’s finished and if the file was fixed.

MEMORY CARD FULL

Your camera will let you know when your SD card is full. You’ll need to move or delete some files if you want to keep recording.

BATTERY LOW, POWERING OFF

A low-battery message will appear on the screen when the battery charge drops below 10%. If the charge runs out while recording video, your camera will stop recording, save the video, and turn itself off.

SD CARD RATING

Your camera needs an SD card rated V30, UHS-3, or higher to operate at its best. It will let you know if your card is rated below V30/UHS-3 or if your card has degraded over time and can no longer perform up to its standards.
