Camera Overview — GoPro Hero9 Black

The GoPro HERO9 Black is a compact action camera built around a 23.6 MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by a custom GoPro GP1 processor. It captures stills at up to 20 MP (5568 x 3712) and shoots video at resolutions up to 5K (5120 x 2880) at 24, 25, or 30 fps. For those who prefer 4K, frame rates extend up to 60 fps, while 1080p and 720p modes push all the way to 240 fps for dramatic slow-motion footage.

The camera supports two color profiles — GoPro Color and Flat — giving videographers a starting point for graded footage. Image stabilization is handled digitally via the built-in Digital/Electronic IS system. The body measures 71 x 55 x 34 mm and weighs 158 g, constructed from ruggedized plastic with a Water Resistant rating.

On the display side, the HERO9 Black features a 2.27-inch Vari-Angle LCD rear screen at 320 x 240 dots, plus a front-facing electronic color LCD viewfinder running at 176 x 176 dots and 60 Hz.
