GoPro White Balance issue

[Nick]

Anyone else notice issues with gopro footage or images on cloudy days? Mine seems awfully "grayed out". I had it at MRG when I was there, I post processed to adjust white balance and contrast during video editing but the footage out of the camera was way off. As a result the final video had some blown out highlights.

I think sunny days seem OK, seems like this is an issue with overcast skies. I am on the latest firmware.

If you're throwing it out, I'll take it.

Not going THAT far :lol: but thanks for letting me know

I think that's just one of the inherent things about them. IIRC, there are a couple of different white balance settings in the camera, I can't recall for sure though.

GoPros love light. I don't bother using mine if the light isn't great.

Apparently the newer Hero3 should address some of the low light issues (the black version at least). I don't expect it to match my DSLR but I'm very interested in seeing how it improves.
