The Design
Shaped like a cube, GoPro Hero4 Session addresses one issues that some people have with GoPro cameras – separate waterproof housing. Waterproofing is built into the snapper without need for a separate housing, thus enhancing its portability significantly.

In addition to enabling you capture stunning, lifelike videos, the camera also take breathtaking 8 megapixels still shots. Burst photos can be taken at 10 frames per second and Time Lapse shots at intervals ranging from 0.5 to 60 seconds.

Superview and Auto Low Light contribute to improve capturing quality.
