Color Setting	Resulting Color Profile
GoPro Color (Default)	GoPro color-corrected profile (same great color as when Protune is turned off)
Flat	Flat, neutral color profile that can be color-corrected to better match footage captured with other equipment, offering more flexibility in post-production

Shutter

Applies only to video and determines the amount of time (in seconds) that the shutter is open. The default setting is Auto.
