Description — DJI Action 5 Pro
The DJI Action 5 Pro centers on a 1-inch sensor with 12MP resolution, capturing stills at up to 4000x3000 pixels across Standard, Vivid, and Cine color profiles. Burst shooting reaches 30 frames per second. On the video side, the camera records at up to 4K resolution with a 60fps ceiling, offering frame rate options of 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps.
Footage is encoded at 10-bit color depth in MP4 format via H.264 or H.265 codecs, with Standard and Cine color profiles available. The ISO 100–3200 range covers standard shooting conditions. Autofocus operates via contrast detection across a wide area, with subject tracking enabled.
Stabilization is provided by digital and electronic IS built into the body. The 2.25-inch LCD (640x360) serves as the sole monitoring option. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C, while audio is handled by a built-in mic and a 3.5mm external mic input.
The aluminum alloy body measures 70x44x32mm, weighs 145g, and is water resistant. The LiPo battery is rated for 160 minutes. Storage uses microSD and microSDXC cards.
