20 Most Recent GoPro Digital Hero 3 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Find a solution, you can have a try: 1. SD Card out 2. Battery out wait 10 seconds 3. Battery in wait 1 minute (this extra time was the key to getting this sequence to work for me) 4. Power up take a photo, power down (you have about a three second window before it goes into Tel mode) 5. Wait 1 min 6. Power up (NB still no SD card) At this point camera appears to be working stays in normal mode with --- displayed because no SD card is inserted. Also interestingly plugging a video output cable into HDTV output socket makes camera go to Tel mode AND when you unplug it camera goes back to normal. However plugging the SD card sends camera into Tel mode permanently. On the plus side this 1-6 sequence was repeatable and worked every time. From this point I tried many combination's of video cables, SD cards, formatted, erased waiting....then came the USB cable! 7. Connect USB cable to computer (NB still no SD card installed) 8. Insert SD (Computer should detect card and any photos taken should be viewable) 9. "Eject" Camera from Computer USB 10. Disconnect camera from USB (should power down by itself) 11. Power up Camera, Woohoo! it works again! BTW, if you don't know how to connect GoPro to TV, you guys can check the following guide for help. Guide: How to Connect GoPro to TV

We've found the best way is to remove the SD card and the batteries for at least 30 seconds and then reinstall both and turn the camera on. Remember, that in addition to the data saved on the SD card, by plugging your camera into your PC with the USB cable you will be able to find any images or video stored on the camera's built in memory.

We've put together a tip sheet for the GoPro Hero 5 cameras but much of the information will help you get the most out of your Hero 3. It is important that you do not attempt to update a Hero 3 using the available GoPro firmware update as it is ONLY for wide angle Hero 5 cameras.
