Caveats

  • HLG HDR only at 5.3K30/24, 4K60/30/24 (16:9) and 4K30/24 (8:7); no HDR above 60fps.Source
  • Log ISO is limited to 400 (not recommended for dark scenes).Source
  • 5.3K60, 4K120, 2.7K240 and 1080p240 give Horizon Leveling only, not 360° Horizon Lock; 2.7K/1080p high frame rates are 8-bit Standard bitrate only.Source
  • GoPro support calls HERO13's log curve 'GP-Log' (Rec.709 based); GP-Log2 (Rec.2020) is a MISSION 1 Series feature.Source

Firmware notes

  • 2024-09-24: v1.12: fixes dark first second of HLG video; improved ND filter suggestionSource
  • 2025-03-24: v2.00: enables Anamorphic Lens Mod (21:9 de-squeezed modes)Source
  • 2025-10-14: v2.10: bug fixes (latest listed)Source
