Welcome to our page! We are going to go through the main parts of of the gopro recording settings!
Resolution
The best resolution for most people is 1080. If you want the best quality, choose 4k. You you are uploading to you tube, upload a 1080p. If you want to be able to choose the highest frame rate, you might need to choose 720p.
Frame Rate
The frame can make or brake your footage. You want to use 30fps if you are just doing normal videos, and if you are doing hand held shots, you want to do 24 fps. If you want to do slow motion, 60 fps or above will be the best.
Protune settings
Each compatible camera model offers advanced Protune™ controls for Color, ISO Limit, Sharpness and Exposure. These advanced Protune settings provide a greater degree of control compared to the previous Protune implementation.
Note: Please ensure that your camera is updated to the latest version of camera software allow full access to Protune controls. The HERO5 and HERO Session/HERO4 Session's Protune™ controls can only be accessed when connected to a Smart Remote or the GoPro App.

- GoPro Color* - Delivers the same great color you capture 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. Due to its log curve, Flat captures more details in shadows and highlights.

ISO Limit (Gain)ISO Limit provides more control in low light conditions. It 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. This setting does not impact shutter speed.
- 6400* - Brighter video in low light, increased image noise. This setting is equivalent to the default in Protune “On” for versions prior to HD3.11.02.00
- 1600 - Moderately bright video in low light, moderate image noise
- 400 - Darker video in low light, reduced image noise
