What's New in Blueye
6.0.0
July 31, 2026
- Add a manual gain slider to camera settings for Blueye X3 Ultra and X7, available alongside manual exposure, to control camera gain (in dB) for brighter images in low light. Requires Blunux v5.1 or newer on the drone. - Add an automatic color-correction filter to camera settings for Blueye X3 Ultra and X7, with an on/off toggle and intensity slider (next to the turbidity filter), for more natural underwater colors. - Show the number of photos, videos, and multibeam recordings for each dive directly in the dive log list, to make logs with media easier to find. - Fix a navigation error that could block opening pages such as news articles, settings detail pages, or the dive view until the app was restarted, caused by a modal dialog not being fully cleared from the app's navigation state. - Fix a crash that could occur when the Wi-Fi connection to the drone dropped and reconnected, caused by two overlapping video-stream restarts tearing down the same video player at the same time. - Attach the most recent app log file to the support email generated from Contact Support, alongside the diagnostics report, to help support diagnose issues faster. - Fix the recording-started banner reporting the selected frame rate and resolution instead of the ones actually used: it now shows 25 fps while the multibeam is active on drones that limit the frame rate, and the real recording resolution when the drone model or a lower streaming resolution caps it. - Fix video recordings using a bitrate meant for a higher resolution or frame rate than the drone actually records at, which wasted storage on the drone. The bitrate now follows the resolution and frame rate in use. - Fix 60 fps being sent to drones that cannot deliver it, which could happen after selecting 60 fps on a Blueye X3 Ultra and then connecting another drone model, or after switching the recording resolution to 4K. The camera now falls back to 30 fps in those cases. - Block activating the multibeam while a video recording is running above the frame rate the drone can sustain alongside it. A running recording keeps the frame rate it was started with, so the app now asks you to stop the recording first instead of leaving the drone recording 30 fps with the multibeam in parallel.
