GoPro Hero 3+ Black - still image problems.

Recommended Posts

I am experiencing some issues with one of the 3+ cameras that I use for handicam. I am reaching out to GoPro but I thought I would run this by you folks as well to see if you have any thoughts.

On random images the camera is taking stills with artifacts in the image. This is on the maximum photo size, haven't had a chance to try on a lower setting because I just noticed at the end of the day last weekend.

It looks like vertical lines, almost like you ran it through a photoshop filter to be artistic.

It doesn't happen on every image, and it happens on the ground, in the plane, and in freefall so it doesn't appear to be restricted to a specific lighting condition.

I am using Sandisk ultra's since I am not recording video at HD. The memory card specs should be sufficient to should 14mb stills, they are class 10+.

Any input would be great!

That is what I was afraid of. Unfortunately I think Chuting Star won't return it, it is almost two months since I purchased it. So I am probably going to be stuck with the time frame of a GoPro warranty claim.

This is digital artifacting, a physical defect/problem with the camera. GoPro will replace it, just open a ticket with them and explain the situation and they'll ask for a video or picture samples. Mine did the same but noticed it on video and they replaced it once they saw the video footage.
