Sensor: 4072×3046 SONY 1/2.3“ 12Mpix BI-CMOS Exmor R IMX117
* HQResize: image is resized from sensor (high quality)
* Crop: image is cropped from sensor (no quality problems)
In other modes there are “skipped lines” - huge quality loss, that is why I don't list them.
Outdoor shooting
6500K / GoPro Colors* / -0.5EV
*In high contrast situation - Flat Colors
Set sharpness to low always because picture is oversharpened in default settings.
GoPro HERO HDR recording
It's possible to record full HDR in 4K on GoPro HERO, but there are a lot of color noise in picture. This can be possible when you are shoot in flat profile, with native color preset (it's very close to bt2020). Then you can encode this video in HEVC/10bit with added HDR10 metadata.
