QYV is confused. GoPro makes no such claim. "CAMRAW" is a Protune setting that doesn't apply any color correction. Nor are there RAW settings for "ISO or whatever. Furthermore, shooting at night in Protune mode, as he claims, is not recommended (by GoPro...)because of the additional noise that is difficult to remove from dark scenes,
I Don't think I'm "confused" per se, but I make mistakes like everyone else and us both here.
The CAM-RAW setting in GoPro's Protune section is regarding White Balance, not color correction. From
GoPro's own website "Protools controls explained"
"White Balance
White Balance adjusts the overall color tone of videos. You can make adjustments to White Balance when shooting in Protune mode.
Auto*
3000K (for use in warm light, eg. incandescent, sunrise/sunset)
5500K (for use in slightly cool light, eg. cool fluorescent, average daylight)
6500K (for use in cool light, eg. overcast conditions)
CAM RAW (no compensation)"
so that's what I meant by "raw input from the lens" I just meant it wasn't doing any white balance. I'm by no means an expert at all this protune, ISO, white balance, color correction stuff although I'm trying to learn.
I was merely trying to help with the confusion around the fact that there is a setting involving the word "raw" on a gopro, which is completely unrelated to taking .RAW pictures from a DSLR
I've subsequently read the rest of this thread and you've all gotten back on the topic of still pics and truth be told I don't really concern myself with the still pic specs of the cameras, I'm one of the beginner types that just screen caps the video when I want a still so.. sorry I if caused more confusion then I tried to help alleviate.
cheers guys
