Version: 1.57.500

To give you colour-balanced underwater videos, the Underwater scene mode now uses the water colour and colour intensity to smoothly apply a red filter to remove excessive blue and green colours from your video. It performs best at depths down to 15 metres, but works below that depth as well. This scene only gets applied when you are under water, so your footage is great before you jump in too.
We’ve introduced automatic gain control for both the internal and the optional external microphone (via cable accessory) to make sure your audio is always of the highest quality in noisy environments.
Settings for the audio input are now remembered.
When recording longer videos which are split in separate 4GB files, the files are renamed so they can be recognised as part of a session recording.
Improvements have been made to the Bluetooth connectivity for the remote control and a heart rate monitor.
Other bug fixes and performance improvements have been made.
