Camera OverviewDJI Action 5 Pro

The DJI Action 5 Pro is a compact action camera built around a 1-inch sensor capable of 12MP stills at a maximum photo resolution of 4000x3000. Video capture tops out at 4K with frame rate options of 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps, and footage is recorded in 10-bit color depth across MP4, H.264, and H.265 formats. Color profiles for video include Standard and Cine, while photo shooters get an additional Vivid option.

The camera's ISO range runs from 100 to 3200, giving it a workable dynamic range for action scenarios. Image stabilization is handled digitally via built-in electronic IS, helping keep footage smooth during fast-paced activity. The autofocus system uses contrast detection across a wide area and supports subject tracking, though eye tracking is not available.

Burst shooting is supported up to 30 frames per second. The 2.25-inch LCD display outputs at 640x360 resolution. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C.

Audio options include a built-in microphone as well as a 3.5mm mic input for external audio. The aluminum alloy body measures 70x44x32mm, weighs 145g, and carries a water-resistant rating. Storage relies on microSD and microSDXC cards.

Battery life is rated at 160 minutes from the included LiPo pack.
