Unfortunately SJCAM does not support this camera very much: the latest **firmware upgrade** is from September 2020, despite there are some evident bugs and several aspects of the user interface which should be improved. Thirdy part support is poor: there is no **waterproof case** except the original one, which unfortunately has a plastic window. There is not much documentation about **customizing the firmware** or scripting using the **Ambarella Scripting**. | Unfortunately SJCAM does not support this camera very much: the latest **firmware upgrade** is from September 2020, despite there are some evident bugs and several aspects of the user interface which should be improved.

- | The SJCAM SJ8 Pro has two **color profiles** selectable from the **Current Mode Settings** menu: **SJCAM - Vivid** and **Flat**. There is a firmware bug that prevent you changing the color profile if the Gyro Stabilizer is enabled, and the color profile choiche is not remebered after power off. In my opinion the vivid profile is too much saturated, specially it **enhances too much** the contrast from the **blue sky** and the **white clouds**, even when the sky is mainly gray and cloudy (as in the frames below). On the contrary the flat profile is **too much washed out** that you will hardly want to use it. | + | The SJCAM SJ8 Pro has two **color profiles** selectable from the **Current Mode Settings** menu: **SJCAM - Vivid** and **Flat**. |
