The Session has dual microphones - one on the front and anotheron the back - for improved audio quality. The camera will automatically choose lớn prioritize one mic over the over, depending on the scenario. Stills can be captured at a frame rate as fast as 10 fps (limited khổng lồ 1 sec bursts).

Design
 |
The HERO4 unit itself is a tiny 1.5" cube. The body has only two buttons: the large record button on top, located directly in front of the LCD, & a small Info/Wi-Fi button on the lower portion of the back (see lower image). Pressthe record button once to turn the camera on & start capture - by mặc định the video clip will be 1080/30p. Press and hold the record button for two seconds to start a time-lapse. By mặc định it will shoot a photo every half-second. In both cases, hitting the record button again stops capture & powers the device down.Users can change đoạn clip and still capture settings, in addition to lớn turning on Wi-Fi by hitting the Info/Wi-Fi button và poking through the options. However, the two-button ergonomics can make for a pretty confusing user experience. We found it much easier khổng lồ change settings by using the GoPro app.

The LCD on top displays the battery life, recording mode, resolution and đoạn phim length (when capturing video), or the number of photos left (if you’re shooting a time-lapse). A small switch on the side of unit, when pressed, reveals the Micro-SD thẻ slot và Micro-USB port (see below).
The HERO4 Session is impressively tough. The toàn thân is coated in a rubber-like material, & the door containing the Micro-USB port và microSD slot appearswell-sealed. We"re not entirely sure what kind of glass the front element is made of, but several run-ins with a flying skateboard didn"t even leave a scratch. Seriously, we beat thisunit up quite a bit over the course of field testing it, with no damage lớn speak of.
