Re: Gopro6 and cold weather

While we do not have any formal temperature ratings for our cameras, we are typically able to determine if a camera is operating within expectations. As with all lithium-ion batteries, your GoPro's internal battery operates most effectively at moderate temperatures; cold weather leads to a decrease in overall battery life.
Turning ProTune OFF is advised when operating in cold temperatures.
Here are other tips:
- Keep the camera and battery warm before/during use (stow it in an interior pocket).
- Leaving the camera on, in standby may be beneficial, as powering the camera off for an extended period of time will allow the camera's temperature to drop.
- Minimize the use of resolutions/frame rate combinations higher than 1080p30, unless necessary. If you're not looking to take advantage of higher resolutions, or slow down your video while editing, 1080p30 is a great high-definition, energy efficient recording setting.
- Minimize the use of Wi-Fi. It requires quite a bit of battery power to retain the video feed and control the camera; even more so in low temperatures.
- Use the waterproof housing whenever possible, to retain the heat given off by the camera during use.
Thanks!
