video? Set camera to Video Looping to continuously “record and over-write” until
[S] is pressed.

Protune
[protune icon] The HERO3 camera can record video in Protune mode. Protune
enables video recording at a higher 35Mbps data rate, and shooting at 24fps, for
easier intercut to other source files. Protune also improves color profiling for work
on professional quality video created using major post-production platforms.
Turning Protune ON affects several settings and features, such as Video Resolution,
Frames Per Second (FPS) and Field of View (FOV). It cannot be used during
simultaneous recording or during playback to a smart device.
