GoPro HERO11 Black User Manual Setting Up Your Camera

SD CARDS

You’ll need a microSD card (sold separately) to save your videos and photos. Use a brand-name card that fits these requirements:

• microSD, microSDHC™, or microSDXC™

• Rated Class V30, UHS-3, or higher

• Capacity up to 512GB

For a list of recommended microSD cards, visit gopro.com/microsdcards.

Be sure your hands are clean and dry before handling your SD card. Check the manufacturer’s guidelines to see your card’s acceptable temperature range and other important information.

Heads Up: SD cards can degrade over time and affect your camera’s ability to save your media. Try swapping out an older card for a new one if you’re having any problems.

PRO TIP: Keep your SD card in good condition by reformatting it regularly. This will erase all of your media, so be sure to save it first.

1. Swipe down on the rear screen to access the Dashboard.

2. Swipe left and tap Preferences > Reset > Format SD Card.

To learn how to save your videos and photos, see Transferring Your Media.

PRO TIP: There’s an easy way to check your battery’s status and make sure you’re using the right one.

2. Swipe left and tap Preferences > About > Battery Info.
