HERO6 Mode Changes Automatic [ New ]

[sunnydusk25101]

Hi,

I have hero 6Black, that I updated firmware due to issue of hilight tagging automatically starts and cannot be stop until it reached maximum tagging. So I manually updated the firmware as per gopro website process, and after that, the issue is still the same and on top of that, more issue occcured.

Whenever I shoot video  and press shutter again to stop recording, it will stop but the mode will be switched to Photo/burst/timelapse. The mode button is not pressed because on standby mode nothing happens.

Another issue is that when I am at photo mode and other (except video) there is 2 black bar line on the side of the screen, which doesnt appear on video mode.. (please see attached)

I'm really frustrated and stressed now about my gopro :( I no longer have the receipt and it is out of warranty since it was purchased last 2017. This is not a waterdamage because it is very rare that I use it on water activity.

I already contacted gopro support, and they would like me to provide receipt for warranty, but again i can no longer find it since it was dated 2017.

Could you please please please help me with this :( This is the only camera that i have and i really like using it :(

The black bars are normal. The photo image in is 4:3 format. When in video modes like 1080p there will be a black bar at the bottom because it is in 16:9 format. Sorry to hear about your other issues, but this is not one of them.

Can you make a video using your phone or other camera of the other issue and post it here?

Take the camera out of the housing and set it on a table. 

1st test: With QuickCapture Enabled, Only press the top shutter button.  Wait about 10-15 seconds and then press the top shutter button again.

2nd test: Turn the camera on using the side mode button.  Wait a few seconds and then press only the top shutter button.  Wait about 10-15 seconds and then press the top shutter button.

Please also remove the SD card and show the front and back clearly in your video.

As ytou learn your camera you will get to knw Her (it) better. for the Highlight tagging,

Are you in a case, or naked, is pressure on the mode on/off   can you  test out on a table alone  no case.   buttons do wear   so my suggestion is  this is a forum  get to a real rep at http://www.gopro.com/contactus

OP already contact GoPro Support.

"I already contacted gopro support, and they would like me to provide receipt for warranty, but again i can no longer find it since it was dated 2017."

Understood now: 

to the OP life is not fair  I know gopro got rules. try  to work with them.

That is nice of them to do, but very different items. I doubt they have to worry much about people stealing BBQ's. Also, it seems that there was a contract with the store, which most likely also deferred the cost of the replacement.
