* 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.
6500K / GoPro Colors* / -0.5EV
*In high contrast situation - Flat Colors
Set sharpness to low always because picture is oversharpened in default settings.
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.
Pixel size: 1.6μm
Only main camera can be used in 10bit mode (Master Cinema/Dolby Vision) and HEVC

| xvColor | On |
| AGCLimit | 6dB or 0dB |
| Quality | MXP 24Mbit/s 1080p |

| Crop mode | 1.7x* |
Manual color calibration required (cool via auto-whitebalance)
*For best picture quality you must set 1.7x crop mode otherwise aliasing occured.
Crop is 2Mpix window on 8Mpix sensor - this enable optical and digital stabilization at once.
