Description — GoPro Hero5 Black
The GoPro HERO5 Black centers on a 12MP 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with video capabilities that reach 4K (3840x2160) at 30fps. Stepping down in resolution unlocks higher frame rates: 2.7K at 60fps and 1080p at 120fps for slow-motion footage. The Protune color profile is available for video, giving editors a flatter starting point for color grading.
Still photographers can take advantage of RAW capture and a burst mode reaching 30fps at full 12MP resolution. The 2-inch Touchscreen LCD provides a hands-on interface for menu navigation and framing. Digital/Electronic Image Stabilization is on board to help reduce camera shake during active shooting. Wireless options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with USB available for wired file transfer and charging.
The camera accepts microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards and runs on a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The body carries a Water Resistant rating, and ISO sensitivity spans 100 to 6400.
