SuperView Settings
| SuperView Mode | Video Resolution |
|---|---|
| 1080 SuperView | 1920 x 1080 |

Protune™
Advanced video mode that yields stunning image quality and cinema-caliber video optimized for professional productions, giving content creators more flexibility and workflow efficiency.
- Captures images with less compression, giving content creators higher quality for professional productions.
- Protune enables manual control of White Balance, Color, ISO Limit, Sharpness and Exposure for advanced control and customization of your video footage.
- Records video in cinema-quality 24 fps, allowing you to easily intercut GoPro content with other source media without the need to perform fps conversion.
White Balance:
White Balance adjusts the overall color tone of videos.
| White Balance Setting | Recommended Lighting Conditions |
|---|---|
| 3000K (Default) | Warm Light (incandescent or sunrise/sunset lighting) |
| 5500K | Slightly cool light (cool fluorescent, average daylight) |
| 6500K | Cool light (overcast conditions) |
| Cam RAW | Industry standardized optimized color |
Color
Color allows you to adjust the color profile of your video footage. There are two Color options: GoPro Color (default) and Flat. GoPro Color delivers the same great color you get when Protune is turned OFF. Flat results in a neutral color profile that can be color-corrected to better match footage captured with other equipment, offering more flexibility in post-production.
| Color Setting | Resulting Color Profile |
|---|---|
| GoPro Color (Default) | GoPro color-corrected profile |
| Flat | Flat, neutral color profile |
ISO Limit
ISO Limit adjusts the camera’s sensitivity in low-light environments, and creates a balance between brightness and resulting image noise. A higher ISO Limit will result in brighter footage, but you may experience more noise. A lower ISO Limit will result in darker footage, but will deliver reduced noise.
| ISO Limit Setting | Resulting Video Quality |
|---|---|
| 6400 (Default) | Brighter video in low light, increased image noise |
| 1600 | Moderately bright video in low light, moderate image noise |
| 400 | Darker video in low light, reduced image noise |
Sharpness
Sharpness controls the sharpness of your video footage. There are three Sharpness options: Low, Medium and High.
| Sharpness Setting | Resulting Video Quality |
|---|---|
| High (Default) | Ultra-sharp video |
| Medium | Moderately sharp video |
| Low | Softer video that allows for more flexibility in post-production |
Looping Video
Records a continuous video loop that overwrites itself until you press the shutter button to stop it. It's ideal for saving space on your memory card while waiting to catch a moment of action.
Exposure
Exposure compensation affects the brightness of your video. Adjusting Exposure can improve image quality when shooting in environments with contrasting lighting conditions.
| Exposure Settings |

| +2.0 |
| +1.5 |
