Please try using different metering and tell us your results. For me the dark sky is looking OK even you say is darker than in reality. Try to obtain a PNG snapshot using MPC-HC for example and Alt+i.
Or try to activate snapshots in GitUp menu so it can take original snapshots not processed by some PC software player.

enjoy,

What I've seen so far I think the color balance is slightly better in the new firmware and does not have as strong turquoise tinge as it used to be in 1.6b and previous firmwares, but it still exists and there still would be room for improvement in that regard. What you are describing is the oversaturation of blue color in high intensity levels which is another problem, i.e it looks like there would be exponential increase of blue color saturation in the cameras own post-processing algorithm, or the sensor is overly sensitive to capture blue on high intensity levels and the post-processing algorithm is not able to compensate it properly.

The oversaturation of blue leads to "crazy blue sky" as someone has put it and even Gopro is prone to that issue with normal settings, but the problem here seems to be more of the exponential "jump" leading to too steep saturation curve.

All digital cameras have the problem to some extent because of the way the colours are encoded in the H264 video file which as it is only 8 bit has only 256 different levels of blue and if the brightness continues to increase when you reach the maximum then after that it just looses saturation and moves towards white. The result depends a lot on the exposure setting, this video starts off with the sky a nice blue, then it turns white as the auto exposure adjusts to a darker image, then towards the end it turns a dark blue/green as the auto exposure adjusts to very bright light and the AWB probably gets things a bit wrong due to the amount of orange. You can often improve things by adjusting the exposure and locking the AWB, but if you lock the exposure in this video then it would not cope with the range of brightness levels so you have to accept that with 8 bit video files you can not achieve the perfect image. The professionals would never pan the camera into the sun like this, they would record it as separate segments with the exposure adjusted to be correct for each.


Sorry about not keeping the horizon horizontal - hoping the Git3 will have a horizon lock built in to the gyro stabiliser!

I think everyone here are aware that it is not easy task design a digital camera that would manage to reproduce perfect color grading in every lighting situation. Yet we can clearly see that some cameras are able do it better than others and the question arises what is the reason for this. You are talking about the solutions what the user can do with cameras which are not the best ones in this regard, while the question how to improve them technically on par with the better ones still remains somewhat unanswered.

One of the obvious, albeit maybe not the best technical solutions as the encoding has its own limitations, would be to let the user deside how much color saturation he or she wants on the origal video in the first place, and let him or her to choose the finer tuned post-processing preferences afterwards.

WOW you have a cam like mine!
WOW you a have a awesome bike like mine!
WOW you have a windshield like mine!
WOW you have a KTM brake oil plate like mine!
WOW you have hand levels like mines!

WOW men!

I'm "KTM Laranjinha" on YT!

PS: Right now my cam is with a power problem...I must contact GitUp!

Does the current lens coating can affect on image tint and color of the sun flare?
As I see, Gopro5 have uncolored lens flare.

I think so, but it is hard to find very very good new lens with good coating.
Before Mobius use a almost no flare lens, but the defective percentage is very high, so only used for some month and stopped production for that lens.
Before we also done a lots of testing on Git1 before release.
Git2 lens is still a good lens, you can see SJ6/SJ7 still use this lens.

And we are working on new 120 degree lens, which will be sold like our 90 degree lens as now, sample will be available around 1.5 month.

For this issue we talked, I checked with IQ engineer, the Nigel talked make sense, the engineer told if add exposure, it will be a little better; if reduce saturation for blue, this may affect other things.
We may check this in future if not so busy for developing.
