The original algorithm is indeed calibrated for atmospheric conditions, whereas underwater light behaves differently due to the physical phenomenon of refraction. The refractive index indicates how much light is &#8220;slowed down&#8221; and deflected when passing through a specific medium; for water, this numerical value varies primarily based on salinity and temperature levels. The addition of mineral salts increases the optical density of the liquid: as the salinity increases, the refractive index grows in an almost linear fashion. This means that light travels slower in salt water than in fresh water, and significantly slower than in air.<br \/><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Regarding temperature, the relationship is instead inverse: warmer water is less dense, so light travels slightly faster compared to cold water environments.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">The reference graph has the following structure:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">X-axis (Horizontal): Salinity, measured in \u2030;<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Y-axis (Vertical): Refractive Index (n);<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Lines: represent the different temperatures (0, 10, 20, 30\u00b0C) usually encountered during a dive.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Starting from the salinity of the water we are diving in (a value easily available online), we can draw a vertical line until it intersects the curve of the predicted temperature; a subsequent horizontal line will then identify the estimated refractive index on the left side of the chart. The default value set by GoPro is 1.335, which is only correct for fresh water at low temperatures. It is therefore highly appropriate to recalibrate this value and adapt the DIVE command to different geographical scenarios, such as the Maldives or the Red Sea, or, as in my specific case, for dives in the Mediterranean or Italian lakes, characterized by significantly colder temperatures. Finding reliable information on the exact refractive index is a difficult task as online sources are scarce and often inconsistent; for this reason, the data I provide should not be considered absolute truth, and it is always better to verify the specific details of your own diving destination.

image stabilization (EIS) and the DIVE function. The analysis quantifies the crop margins required for vibration compensation and underwater refraction correction. All recordings were performed at 5.3K resolution in 16:9 format at 60 fps.<br \/><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">The table compares angular values across the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal axes. The &#8220;No Stabilization&#8221; configuration serves as the baseline reference for the unprocessed sensor. Enabling HyperSmooth introduces an initial crop level, while implementing the DIVE 1.336 parameter results in the most significant variation, reducing the horizontal FOV from the initial 118.1\u00b0 to 73.9\u00b0. This increased correction margin is designed to stabilize the footage and correct geometric distortions induced by the aquatic environment.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">The data demonstrates that the combined use of HyperSmooth and DIVE generates an overall correction margin of 37%. This shift of resources from the field of view to the stabilization buffer allows the firmware to compensate for movement and maintain natural image geometry, eliminating typical lens-edge aberrations encountered underwater.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI

shutter speeds, so as to \u201cfreeze\u201d every single frame and avoid the dragging effect (motion blur). However, in low-light conditions such as those found underwater, this priority forces the camera to significantly raise the ISO value, generating an inevitable increase in video noise and a loss of detail in the shadow areas.<br \/>The GCMP=1 extension intervenes by effectively disabling the gyro-compensated exposure. Essentially, this command communicates to the GoPro to give priority to the overall image quality over maximum stability: by forcing the use of slower shutter speeds, it allows the sensor to keep the ISO lower and reduce the electronic noise on the sensor.<br \/>For quite some time, I adopted GCMP=1 as a fixed setting in all of my recordings, until I conducted more in-depth tests to verify its actual impact and effectiveness.<br \/>The comparative test that I conducted at a depth of 25 meters in the spectacular Rocky Island dive site in Egypt, initially highlighted unexpected results regarding the GCMP parameter. By analyzing the data extracted from the recordings, I found that with GCMP 1 the ISO values were on average higher, reaching about 330, compared to the standard GCMP 0 mode which stopped at about 305.<br \/>Consistent with the chosen setting, the analysis of the metadata through Gyroflow showed much more jagged and nervous gyroscope graphs in the file recorded with GCMP 1, confirming the fact that the camera was indeed giving less priority to stability. <br \/>To understand the reason why the ISO remained high despite the priority given to light, I contacted the GoPro Labs development team. The engineers clarified that the GCMP 1 parameter tells the camera that the device is stationary, allowing the exposure logic to favor longer shutter speeds. However, in my test at 60fps in low-light conditions, the shutter had already reached its physical limit of 8.33ms. In this scenario, the Labs team confirmed that the GCMP command effectively becomes inactive on the exposure front: since there is no longer physical margin to further extend the shutter, the logic cannot intervene to reduce the ISO. The slight difference found is therefore attributable to normal variations in ambient light during the dive.<br \/>In conclusion, the test demonstrates that in the presence of low light and high frame rates, physical limits prevail over firmware settings, making the activation of GCMP irrelevant for the purpose of ISO savings.<br \/>Based on these specific tests, in my upcoming dives I will no longer use this extension.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eed5b5b elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\"

in low-light conditions. Scientifically, this disturbance stems from two factors: photon noise, caused by natural variations in light hitting the pixels, and electronic noise, generated by heat and internal circuits during signal amplification. In underwater filming, where light is scarce, the sensor struggles to distinguish between actual visual data and background static; consequently, these interferences become highly evident, manifesting through random pixels and chrominance noise, namely chromatic artifacts and reddish or purplish blotches that muddy the shadow areas and the uniform colors of the water. Normally, GoPro manages this issue automatically through its image processor. The firmware instantaneously applies a noise reduction algorithm that attempts to clean the file before saving it to the microSD card. However, to eliminate these artifacts, the internal software tends to smooth the entire image, ultimately erasing many details. The result is the so-called watercolor effect: a video that is apparently clean but lacks sharpness and depth, with details appearing smeared and otherwise unrecoverable. If the goal is to achieve maximum quality through post-production, we must prevent the camera from making this arbitrary choice and use the NR01 extension instead. This extension allows the intensity of the filter to be adjusted on a scale from 1 to 100 (where 0 restores the default setting). By setting NR01=1, the GoPro\u2019s automation is reduced to the minimum possible level, forcing it to record the video signal while preserving the purity of the data captured by the sensor: in this way, the file will retain all the native noise, but also the totality of the original details. This allows us to delegate the cleaning process to specialized Apps or plug-ins such as, for example, Neat Video which, by leveraging the computer\u2019s processing power, manage to isolate and selectively eliminate interferences without sacrificing the micro-texture and real definition of the image. This professional approach ensures that the final footage retains an organic, high-fidelity look that internal camera processing simply cannot replicate. For this reason, in my footage, NR01 is always set to 1.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-806f7e8 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"806f7e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NRO1-turtle-low.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" muted=\"muted\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NRO1-turtle-.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0674275 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0674275\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-0674275{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd9ee6f elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd9ee6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>In this video: initial native signal with NR01=1, followed by the final result after processing with the Neat Video plugin.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d01dad9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d01dad9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c9c24a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4c9c24a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b742083 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b742083\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28ef269 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"28ef269\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0ffb5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a0ffb5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-a0ffb5c{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37557d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"37557d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">BITR<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7025bbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7025bbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-7025bbc{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d7345b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d7345b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The bitrate, expressed in Megabits per second (Mb\/s), indicates the amount of digital data that the camera processes and records for every second of footage. In simple terms, it represents the &#8220;width&#8221; of the information flow: the higher this value, the less compression is applied to the video. A high bitrate therefore allows for a greater amount of detail and a more solid image structure to be preserved, preventing the camera&#8217;s processor from having to sacrifice quality to manage file sizes. While the camera&#8217;s standard menu sets a safety limit of approximately 120 Mb\/s for the &#8220;High&#8221; setting, the hardware architecture of the latest GoPros is technically capable of handling much higher data streams. The BITR extension allows you to overcome factory limitations and force the encoder to work at higher speeds, up to a theoretical maximum of 200 Mb\/s. The utility of this override becomes evident specifically in the underwater environment, where scenes present significant visual complexity. Where a standard bitrate might generate visual artifacts, smearing fine details or creating pixel blocks in shadow areas, a high data flow ensures greater image fidelity, preserving as much as possible the nuances necessary for post-production. However, using high bitrates is not without risks and requires proper technical awareness, as it shifts the bottleneck from the camera to the memory card. Writing at 200 Megabits per second translates into a continuous flow of approximately 25 Megabytes per second; this speed requires the memory card to guarantee a real and constant Sustained Write Speed, not just a peak speed. Using common microSD cards, even if certified for standard 4K, could lead to sudden recording interruptions or critical writing errors. To operate safely with these extreme settings, it is therefore necessary to use media certified at least V30 or higher, capable of sustaining the constant flow of data without failure, in addition to accounting for significantly higher storage space and battery consumption. Furthermore, it should be considered that the smooth playback of files with such a massive bitrate requires powerful computers, as older machines might struggle to decode the video stream in real time during viewing. According to GoPro Labs engineers, most cameras are capable of supporting data flows up to 150 Mb\/s in all modes, although it is always recommended to perform preliminary stability tests. However, in my personal experience, I have been stably using a setting of 190 Mb\/s for some time, on both HERO13 and HERO12, without ever encountering any recording issues.<\/p><p><span

colors in a completely natural way. In practice, it serves to define what should be properly considered as &#8220;white&#8221; or neutral within a specific scene, ensuring that all other colors are faithfully reproduced. Without a correct adjustment, the entire image ends up having a persistent color cast that inevitably falsifies the reality of what we are actually filming.<br><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">By default, thanks to the Auto WB system, the GoPro adapts the white balance to light variations; however, this automation reveals its clear limits in the underwater environment, where even small changes in framing push the camera to recalibrate colors. In the absence of neutral references, this process generates continuous shifts in tonal shades within the same shot. The first video shows a whitetip reef shark (<i>Triaenodon obesus<\/i>) filmed at <i>Five Rocks<\/i>, South Ari, Maldives, where it is clearly visible how the white balance varied several times during the same sequence. This continuous change generated green or blue color casts depending on the moment, making the clip entirely unusable.<br><\/span>Even in the recent footage of an anemone at <i>Gota Kebir<\/i>, St. John\u2019s Reef, Egypt, you can perceive how the color cast changed suddenly.<br>In the clip of the two soldierfish (<i>Myripristis murdjan<\/i>) guarding their sponges (<i>Callyspongia crassa<\/i>), the chromatic shift caused by the automatic white balance is clear, with the image veering from warm tones towards much cooler ones.<br>In the video of the spinner dolphins (<i>Stenella longirostris<\/i>) filmed in <i>Sataya<\/i>, Egypt, you can appreciate the significant difference between the same shot with and without WBLK enabled. The one without the white balance lock shows the classic reddish cast typical of shots taken at the surface.<br><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\"><br>The WBLK extension, available for HERO12 and HERO13, represents one of the most powerful GoPro Labs tools for underwater color balance control. With WBLK=1, the camera locks the white balance a few moments after starting, keeping the colors uniform throughout the clip. This facilitates color correction work in post-production.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">The clip of the hawksbill turtle (<\/span><i style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Eretmochelys imbricata<\/i><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">) at <\/span><i style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Sataya Reef,<\/i><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\"> southern Egypt, was shot simultaneously with two different GoPros: one with WBLK=1 and the other with WBLK=0. In the footage without the lock, it is clearly observed how, as the angle changes, the tones shift from warm to cooler, while the video with the lock active maintains constant chromatic coherence. Also the video of the Moontail Bullseye (<\/span><i style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Priacanthus hamrur<\/i><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">) made at <\/span><i style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">Elphinstone Reef<\/i><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">, Egypt, shows the comparative footage with WBLK active or not.

By using the specific command WBLK=x, a custom delay can be set: by entering a value from 2 to 99, the lock will trigger after the specified number of seconds, while with values from 100 to 9999 the delay will be calculated in milliseconds. This option allows the operator to decide the exact moment in which to fix the balance, preventing the lock from occurring on an incorrect or misleading frame.<br><\/span><span style=\"font-family:

light. Through an internal algorithm, the camera analyzes the scene&#8217;s brightness and adjusts sensitivity (ISO) and shutter speeds in real time to keep the image balanced. This automatic adaptation process has a default speed: typically, the software takes about one second to transition from a full light situation to one of intense shadow.<br \/>During the exploration of a wreck or when entering a cave, very different light situations are faced. Moving from a less illuminated environment back towards the open, the sensor is hit by strong light while still calibrated for darkness; this could lead to a moment of overexposure, where the image appears brighter before the automation manages to rebalance itself.<br \/>To offer superior control over this dynamic, GoPro Labs developed DAMP. It allows to intervene on the reaction speed of the sensor, giving the possibility to decide how immediate the exposure adaptation should be. The default value is 1 (one second), with the ability to modify the responsiveness to make it slower or faster depending on the specific needs.<br \/>The range of use goes from 0.1 to 1000. Setting the value to 3, for example, will make the transition three times slower (3 seconds), making light changes much smoother than the standard camera reaction.<br \/>To achieve the best results, it is essential to consider the impact of Global Tone Mapping. This is an automatic processing that GoPro applies to manage contrast, constantly analyzing the frame to balance shadows and highlights. However, this automation can generate sudden contrast variations that make the image unstable.<br \/>On the latest generation GoPros, to ensure maximum control, it is advisable to use Flat or Log color profiles. These profiles disable Tone Mapping, allowing the sensor to work linearly and in perfect synergy with the DAMP extension. This way a much more natural image and greater flexibility in the post-production phase are obtained.<br \/><br \/>The video recorded at <i>Rocky Island <\/i>in Egypt shows the effect of these settings using three GoPros simultaneously. The scene starts with a shot towards the sunlight and then descends rapidly towards the reef: it is noted how the camera with DAMP 1 takes exactly one second to stabilize, while the others dilate the transition. In the second part of the video, the images were set to 50% slow motion, making the understanding of the adaptation process even more natural. In this specific situation, the GoPro with DAMP 1 seems to react in a more balanced way once it reaches the reef.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

lights, such as LEDs or fluorescent tubes, which pulse at the power grid frequency (50Hz in Europe, 60Hz in the USA). The system works by limiting shutter speeds to values synchronized with these frequencies, preventing the phenomenon from appearing in the video as constant brightness pulsing or horizontal streaks (banding) across the image.<br \/>A bug in the GoPro HERO13 occurs when the antiflicker system interferes with the shutter adjustment. In conditions of bright sunlight and low ISO, the camera attempts to lock the shutter speed to fixed values to avoid non-existent flickering, causing abrupt and choppy brightness jumps in the footage instead of a natural transition.<br \/>For example, in the footage of the turtle shot at a depth of only a couple of meters, the ISO 100 and 1\/120 shutter speed caused those brightness jumps that irremediably compromised the shot.<br \/>The BFLK=1 extension resolves the issue by eliminating the software constraints designed to prevent light bulb flickering, which are completely useless outdoors. GoPro Labs engineers actually recommend keeping this command active on HERO13 cameras used in outdoor environments to ensure consistently precise exposure.<br \/>By performing the same shot simultaneously with a second HERO13 set to the Natural color profile, the issue did not occur because this mode applies dynamic tone-mapping that manages to mask the shutter jumps.<br \/>In the QR Control App, it is currently not possible to create the specific QR Code, which can however be generated at this <a href=\"https:\/\/gopro.github.io\/labs\/control\/set\/?cmd=*BFLK=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4a7dd6 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"f4a7dd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FLAT-low.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FLAT.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-660202d elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"660202d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Natural-low.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Natural.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dffa53 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8dffa53\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6d2d76 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"d6d2d76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04827ca e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"04827ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a62cab0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a62cab0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dbecff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1dbecff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-1dbecff{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbea7f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dbea7f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">File analysis with Telemetry Extractor\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fea0897 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fea0897\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-fea0897{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-232c05f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"232c05f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Telemetry Extractor is a specialized software tool for extracting and analyzing the &#8220;invisible&#8221; metadata present in GoPro camera files (from the HERO5 series onwards).

Telemetry acts as an &#8220;interpreter&#8221; for these codes, allowing the visualization of GPS data (in the paid version) such as exact position, speed, altitude, and path.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">The software also shows motion sensors (information from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer) and shooting parameters with instantaneous values for ISO, Shutter Speed, white balance, average luminance, and much more. This last function is particularly useful because, unlike the official GoPro Labs \u201cMetadata Extraction\u201d page, it provides data moment by moment.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">The software is compatible with 64-bit Windows and macOS systems. Use is intuitive: simply import the original .mp4 file to immediately view all the data streams available for that specific clip.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">To understand the flickering problem during the turtle footage, I analyzed the Shutter Speed and ISO of the offending clip. The ISO graph is easy to interpret: it shows that the GoPro shot at 100 ISO for almost the entire duration of the video, and only at the end, when the shot moved into the blue, was there a slight increase.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">The Shutter Speed graph is less intuitive. On the abscissa (the horizontal axis), as with the previous graph, we find the time. On the ordinate (the vertical axis), we have the Shutter Speed moment by moment. The value indicated by &#8220;m&#8221; is a technical abbreviation standing for milliseconds (ms), expressed in decimal notation by the software.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">To transform that number into the classic \u201c1\/X\u201d value, a small calculation is needed. For example, 8.3m means 0.0083s; to find out which fraction it corresponds to, you must divide 1 by that number: $1 \/ 0.0083 = 120$. At that point, the GoPro was shooting at approximately 1\/120 of a second.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">As can be seen from the graphs, even though the light in the shot was constant (the framing was not changed toward the sun or shade), the Shutter Speed values fluctuate abruptly several times between 8.4m and 7.4m: this is the bug that caused the flickering, making the footage unusable.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">In the same shot taken with the Natural Color Profile, the ISO values are identical, but the Shutter Speed graph shows gradual variations, ranging from about 1\/140-1\/170 (fast shutter speeds) at the beginning of the clip, down to the classic 1\/120 when the shot moves toward the blue (slower shutter speed).<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">This analysis confirms that the Flat\/Log profile, being devoid of dynamic tone-mapping, fails to compensate for the micro-variations of the shutter, making the defect extremely visible and necessitating the use of the BFLK extension.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57174b5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"57174b5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34112f6 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"34112f6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28b03d7 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"28b03d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ad7ea8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ad7ea8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-1024x488.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-22943\" alt=\"In questa foto si vede il grafico degli ISO prodotto da Telemetry Extractor.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-1024x488.png 1024w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-1536x732.png 1536w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-2048x976.png 2048w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-18x9.png 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GX011795-tartaruga_2026-04-08_14-11-34-287_1_ISOE_-600x286.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf39615 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf39615\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-cf39615{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b71049c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b71049c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>ISO sensitivity graph generated by Telemetry.

Warm spectrum components, characterized by longer waves, are the first to undergo this physical absorption even at shallow depths. Specifically, red suffers a drastic intensity attenuation and almost totally disappears within the first 5 meters. Subsequently, orange is filtered between 10 and 15 meters, while yellow is absorbed around 30 meters. Water more easily allows shorter wavelengths to pass, namely cool colors like green and blue, which penetrate much deeper. This chromatic imbalance leads to a progressive loss of contrast and saturation in warm tones, making the underwater environment appear predominantly blue or grayish beyond 30-50 meters. <br \/><br \/>To counter this phenomenon, the WARM extension was developed within the GoPro Labs project, a mode that digitally amplifies the red channel alone. The camera sensor acts as a grid of specialized micro-sensors, each measuring light intensity for one of the three primary colors (red, green, and blue) which, mixed together, recreate every shade visible on a screen. In most devices, the green channel receives double the information compared to the other two, as it contains the foundation of brightness and sharpness that the human eye perceives most accurately. Red and blue channels complete the chromatic picture but, being less data-rich from the start, are technically more delicate. Final color rendering thus depends on the balance between these three channels, which must work together to faithfully reconstruct every single nuance of the recorded scene. To activate the extension, a numerical value between -50 and 100 must be set, keeping in mind that zero cancels the effect. Positive values warm the image, recovering part of the red tones absorbed by water and thus restoring more vivid and natural colors. However, as a manual setting, it cannot automatically adapt to depth changes during the dive. For optimal results, it is essential to calibrate the value based on the reached depth, an operation performed exclusively by carrying and framing the relevant QR Codes. <br \/><br \/>During recent tests, three GoPro HERO13s were used on a single base con maniglie, testing the WARM extension in very diverse light and depth contexts: from a few meters in full sunlight to 40-meter dives performed at dawn. For those not performing post-production, the WARM extension is a valid aid for improving chromatic rendering, provided it is used with due care. For those working on files during editing, this function proves extremely useful, significantly speeding up color recovery operations. However, as the footage shows, results were not consistent in every circumstance. In my specific setup, the preferred configuration for the 10 to 30-meter range is WARM=30, while at different depths, I prefer not to activate the extension. The advice remains to perform your own tests to identify the most suitable setting for your needs and different environmental conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93cf76a elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"93cf76a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-93cf76a{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d70e37c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d70e37c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-d70e37c{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4634a9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4634a9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Some Video Examples<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-632c10c elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"632c10c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alcionaria-.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alcionaria.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fde2d4e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fde2d4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-fde2d4e{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2a258a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2a258a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Soft Coral<\/strong> (<em>Dendronephthya sp.<\/em>) filmed at dawn at Umm Gamar (Hurghada), at a depth of 30 meters.<br \/>This is undoubtedly one of the worst conditions for filming with a GoPro without video lights: the environment appears indeed purplish and totally devoid of warm tones.<br \/>In the video, presented without any color processing, shots taken with WARM values set to 0, 60, and 80 are compared.<br \/>In the clips with the extension active, an actual increase in the Red channel is visible.

offers high-precision control over the management of chromatic dominants. Technically, this function allows you to act directly on the intensity of the blue channel to balance the overall image. However, its maximum utility emerges especially when filming in waters with a strong greenish component, caused by algal blooms in lakes or heavy suspension in tropical seas. In these scenarios, the use of positive COOL values allows you to \u201cshift\u201d the sensor&#8217;s chromatic response, effectively neutralizing that murky patina and restoring a much more natural blue to the final image. As demonstrated by the tests, I obtained excellent results by setting a value of COOL=60 in very green lake waters and a value of COOL=20 in tropical contexts tending toward green. Furthermore, I wanted to test the extension in \u201cstandard\u201d conditions\u2014meaning in waters that were already clear and blue\u2014to verify if reducing the blue dominant could somehow highlight warm colors more naturally. However, the footage shows that in these situations almost no significant variation is perceived. This confirms that the COOL extension is a specific and formidable tool for shifting chromatically from green to blue, but it does not have the function of restoring warm tones or replacing the work of WARM. By subtracting or shifting the blue in already clear contexts, in fact, you only deplete the image without adding that red chromatic information which is physically missing due to the absorption process. The effectiveness of this setup remains strictly linked to the ability to correctly read the water color before the dive, performing targeted tests to understand when blue correction is actually necessary and functional for the shoot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6735963 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\"

automatically adapt to the amount of blue present in the scene during underwater recording. <br>Unlike a fixed increase, its behavior is governed by an internal mathematical function that intervenes only when the red gain exceeds a specific threshold. In the default configuration, WBDV=1 uses the values 2.33 and 4.0.<br>The parameter 2.33 represents the internal activation threshold: as long as the calculated red gain remains below this value, the system does not apply any additional amplification. When the value exceeds 2.33, a precise corrective mechanism is triggered: the excess beyond the threshold is multiplied by 4.0 and added to the original value.<br>&nbsp;In practical terms, this means the compensation is not linear, but progressive and conditional. The stronger the blue dominance becomes and the more the required red exceeds the threshold, the more intense the correction. The two numbers therefore do not represent simple intensity levels, but rather a threshold and an amplification factor applied to the excess.<br>By modifying these parameters, for example with WBDV=2.4,5.0, both the point at which the correction enters its more aggressive phase and the strength of the amplification beyond the threshold are adjusted. <br>The system remains fully dynamic: it intervenes only when the scene truly requires it, avoiding overcorrection in less critical conditions and becoming more assertive when blue strongly dominates the image.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8edc4e4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8edc4e4\" data-element_type=\"container\"

profile and the Labs extension WIDE=1 proves particularly effective. Flat preserves a greater amount of tonal and chromatic information, providing more latitude in post-production. Enabling WIDE=1 further expands the internal color space, allowing the red channel to expand more naturally when WBDV enters its post-threshold amplification phase.<br \/>When using WBDV, the WARM function must be set to 0. Otherwise, the two adjustments would overlap, creating a stacked chromatic compensation.<br \/>To clarify, following my request for information on the functionality of WBDV and WARM, David Newman, Software Engineering of the GoPro Labs firmware group, replied:<br \/>&#8220;<i>All have been tested, just with mixed results, particular WBDV is not perfect: is it so experimental that it may only help under ideal conditions.<br \/>WARM works as designed, just too manual so it is hard to set perfectly. WBDV is a crude an attempt to automate<\/i>\u00a0<i>WARM<\/i>\u201d.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Below are some comparative tests conducted during my recent liveaboard safari in the southern Red Sea. These clips were filmed at <i>Rocky Island<\/i> under optimal conditions, with excellent visibility and water temperatures perfect for testing GoPro specifications. Analysis of the footage reveals an interesting behavior of the WBDV command at depth. Beyond 20 meters, the white balance for diving works well, and the color rendering closely approaches the result one would achieve by activating the GoPro Labs WARM extension. Even when ascending toward 15 meters, the final result remains quite good, and the image maintains a solid tonal quality.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 1rem;\">However, I found that at shallow depths, as can be seen in the four videos filmed at 5 meters, the red tint becomes too prominent and ends up unbalancing the entire image. While the ideal solution would be to deactivate the WBDV function during the ascent, at this stage my advice is not to rely on this automation. I find it more effective to use the flexibility of QR Codes to manually set the values of the GoPro Labs WARM extension based on the operating depth, allowing for a more balanced color control.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7783a73 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7783a73\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d041a05 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d041a05\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce1e8da elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"ce1e8da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WBDV-23m-low.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WBDV-cover-23m.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc68023 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cc68023\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-cc68023{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e68ed90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e68ed90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Rocky Island, Egypt \u2013 11:00 AM, depth 23 meters.

It records exactly everything the lens perceives without compression, unlocking the real color capabilities of the sensor.<br>With WIDE deactivated (0), the GoPro conforms the color saturation to the Rec709 gamut (basically sRGB), therefore some extreme saturations present in the real scene are cut (clipped) by the gamut.<\/p>\n<p>With WIDE activated (1), the gamut is the sensor native one: exactly what the sensor sees. It is similar to white balance set to Native, which almost always produced a greenish\/yellowish image and required enormous work in post-production to be corrected.<br>Unlike the Native setting, in WIDE the GoPro keeps the white balance active anyway, making color correction simpler and exploiting a larger portion of the available 8 or 10 bits.<\/p>\n<p>Visually the unprocessed clips might appear paradoxically washed out and less saturated, a phenomenon that however confirms the presence of a wider color range not artificially compressed, preserving all necessary information and thus providing, in the post-production phase, a much richer and malleable material for color correction.<br><b>My setting is WIDE=1.<br><\/b><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;;

left half the WIDE extension is off (=0), while in the right one it is active (=1).<br \/>The first video shows the footage without any processing.<br \/>It can be noticed how the image with active WIDE appears effectively washed out and less saturated compared to the one with WIDE off; the latter, while presenting an intense water blue, however renders a more yellowish fish and excessively saturated fire corals.<br \/>The second video shows instead the clips after a quick post-production, where it appears clear how the WIDE version results more faithful to

show, in surface shots these LUTs hit the mark, restoring typical GoPro colors; underwater, however, the behavior varies: while in some situations (see the Small Brother Reef video, Egypt) they concretely help speed up color correction by bringing the water back to natural tones, other times they produce unpleasant yellow-green casts (as in the Lionfish example).<br \/>The suggestion I feel I should give is to try applying the LUT in any case to evaluate its effect: if the result is not valid, you can proceed in the manner explained in the &#8220;After Dive&#8221; section.<br \/>The GoPro LUTs for converting the WIDE gamut can be downloaded at this <a

It is primarily suitable for advanced users who perform matching in post-production with footage from other log-enabled cameras.<br \/>Always to be paired with the Flat profile and 10-bit color, it allows for the creation of a custom \u201clog\u201d profile (e.g., LOGB=400) to achieve a flatter curve, useful for preserving highlight details. It is important to note that pixel size is not changing, so increasing the logbase (flatness) may not significantly increase dynamic range.<br \/>When pushing dynamic range, shadow details may be suppressed by noise reduction. Increasing the logbase will enhance shadows, but will also reveal noise reduction artifacts tuned for the Rec709 encoding curve. For this reason, noise reduction control (NR01) must always be paired with LOGB.<br \/>Also a noiser image will need a higher-bitrate to store the additional information (so BITR, NR01 and LOGB are all related.)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07e40f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"07e40f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>GP-Log vs Flat to Linear<\/strong><br>The graph displayed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmos.com\/calculator\/srvh1rkeur?lang=it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Desmos<\/a> represents the encoding protocol, or mathematical formula, that GoPro uses to capture light when the GP-Log function is activated. It can be understood as a translation system that transforms the brightness of physical reality into digital data within a video file. <br>The horizontal axis represents the intensity of the light entering the lens: at the far left is total darkness, while at the far right is the most intense light. The vertical axis, on the other hand, defines how that specific light intensity is actually recorded in the video file on a scale ranging from zero to one hundred percent. <br>The reason the line does not follow a straight diagonal path but takes the form of a curve lies in the need to preserve image quality. If the line were a straight one, the camera would record light linearly, risking the loss of critical information in high-contrast situations, such as when filming a subject in shadow against a bright surface. In that case, dark areas would become solid blacks devoid of detail, and very bright areas would become blown-out whites.<br>The Log curve instead applies a specific compression: in the lower part, the line rises very quickly to ensure that shadow details are &#8220;lifted&#8221; and not lost in absolute black. In the upper part, the line progressively flattens to compress bright areas and prevent the image from exceeding the maximum recording limit. By observing the shape of this curve, one understands why a video recorded in Log initially appears gray and lacking contrast, with an appearance defined as &#8220;flat.&#8221; Through this process, blacks are pulled upward, becoming dark grays, and whites are lowered, becoming light grays. <br>The result is a file that, while appearing less pleasing to the immediate eye, contains a significantly higher amount of information than a standard shot, as the entire dynamic range is compressed within a safe space to avoid data loss. <br>Only during post-production, through the application of a LUT or via color grading, is this process inverted to return blacks and whites to their natural levels, restoring perfect contrast while maintaining all the details originally saved by the curve.<br><br>The inverse curve represents the mathematical step necessary to undo the intentional compression performed by the Log format, acting as an expansion mechanism that returns blacks and whites to their original levels. <br><br>The Rec.709 Transfer Function, on the other hand, constitutes the universal standard that translates this recovered information into the language interpreted by modern displays, ensuring that brightness and colors are reproduced faithfully and consistently with human visual perception. <br><br>The slider positioned in the upper-left box allows for the adjustment of logarithmic parameters to graphically visualize how the sensor&#8217;s response changes. The red line identifies the set GP-Log profile, starting from the base value of 113 up to the maximum limit of 400, while the green line represents the standard Flat profile, which is also logarithmic in nature but with a less extreme curve. Through this comparison, one can observe how much the Log 400 profile deviates from the 113 curve, offering an even wider dynamic range.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Analyzing the official GoPro Labs matrix and cross-referencing it with the extensions covered on this page, a clear technical picture emerges: to fully exploit the potential of these modifications, the current reference hardware is the HERO13 and HERO12 Black.<br \/>Regarding image optimization, the DIVE extension is supported exclusively on HERO13 and HERO12; owners of previous models cannot access this specific geometric correction. The GCMP extension follows the same logic, with full compatibility guaranteed only on the latest two generations.<br \/>WBLK is a well-supported function on almost all cameras from HERO7 onwards, although the ability to set a specific delay is a refinement recently introduced on HERO13 and HERO12 firmware.<br \/>On the file quality front, the BITR extension is supported by all recent cameras equipped with the GP2 processor, meaning from HERO10\u00a0<br \/>Conversely, fine noise reduction control via NR01 is available from HERO11 upwards.<br \/>Moving to advanced color management, the WIDE extension is supported on HERO13, HERO12, and HERO11.<br \/>A clear distinction concerns balance controls: the WARM and COOL extensions are supported exclusively on HERO13 and HERO12. The WBDV extension, however, is present only on the flagship HERO13.<br \/>Finally, the LOGB extension is supported from HERO11 onwards.<br \/>In summary, for the diver intending to faithfully replicate the described setup, the choice is technically limited to the HERO13 or HERO12 models. The HERO11 remains an excellent alternative, despite losing critical access to dedicated underwater stabilization and fine white balance controls. Models from the HERO10 downwards, while remaining capable cameras, do not support most of the advanced optimizations necessary for this specific workflow.<br \/>To examine in detail the compatibility of each model with the various extensions, it is possible to consult the official technical table: <a href=\"https:\/\/gopro.github.io\/labs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overview of Labs functionality and device compatibility<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d05615 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3d05615\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20617\" alt=\"In questa foto si vedono diverse GoPro.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8141065 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8141065\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-727c82f elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"727c82f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20617\" alt=\"In questa foto si vedono diverse GoPro.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fef44d9 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fef44d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family2-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20689\" alt=\"In questa foto si vedono diverse GoPro.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GoPro-Family2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sperimentare \u00e8 la chiave GoPro Labs \u00e8 il mondo dove la creativit\u00e0 supera le impostazioni di fabbrica.
