GoPro just released some powerful new free features for Black and Silver Hero 4 cameras. The automatic time lapse video mode
is a great easily used addition with no mandatory post editing. The extended burst mode is an excellent aid for catching more fast
moving action than readily undertaken in the past. I really like the 720p240 fps video setting. It is a very powerful
mode indeed for dramatically slowing action in the world around us.
Here is a video overview of the new capabilities conveyed with this free update:

Here is what GoPro has to say about things:
"Today, GoPro unlocked a host of new features for the HERO4 Black and HERO4 Silver that will amp the performance, capabilities
and convenience of the cameras even higher. Run a quick update on your HERO4 software to enable even more dynamic content
capture! The new features include:
HERO4 Black and HERO4 Silver
Time lapse video mode - Capture Time Lapse videos automatically-no post-production needed. Showcase a sunrise, road trip
or family gathering as a short, sharable video.
30/6 burst photo - Introducing a new way to never miss a moment. Capture 30 photos in 6 seconds-perfect for longer duration
fast-action activities like surfing and snowboarding.
Auto rotate - Automatically adjusts capture orientation to right-side up when the camera is mounted upside down.
Add HiLight Tags during playback - Now you can mark key moments both while recording video and playing back content
on the built-in touch display to quickly find highlights for easy editing and sharing. [HERO4 Black requires LCD Touch BacPac to
utilize this feature]
HERO4 Black
720p240 fps video - Record ultra high frame rate video at a staggering 240 frames per second for liquid smooth slow-motion
playback
2.7K60 fps video - Capture cinematic, high-resolution 2.7K footage at an impressive 60 frames per second"
A similar slow motion clip shot at a 240 frames per second shows up below. It is a great feature to have!
