GoPro’s Hero4 has only just shipped but it hasn’t stopped the company delivering a brand new firmware release today. The most important new features are an automatic shutter option for Night Lapse mode as well as continuous interval for night lapse mode. Additionally GoPro claim that image sharpness is increased in various video modes.
Sadly there is still no sign of the full manual exposure control that many pros have been wishing for. Hopefully GoPro will do this at some point in the future.
You can download the update now from the GoPro site.
Here is the update info from GoPro:
