OFFLOADING YOUR CONTENT TO A COMPUTER

To play back your video and photos on a computer, you must first transfer
these files to a computer. Transferring also frees up space on your microSD
card for new content.

1. Download and install Quik for desktop from gopro.com/apps.
2. Connect the camera to your computer using the included

USB-C cable.

3. Power on the camera and follow the on-screen instructions in Quik.

PRO TIP: To offload files to a computer using a card reader (sold
separately) and your computer’s file explorer, connect the card reader to
the computer, then insert the microSD card. You can then transfer files to
your computer or delete selected files on your card. Note that you must use
a card reader to offload RAW photos or RAW audio files.
