SHENZHEN, China — DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today unveils the Osmo Action 5 Pro. The latest generation of DJI’s popular Osmo action camera series delivers several industry-first features rivaling professional cameras. From the 13.5-stop dynamic range and 4-hour battery life to the built-in subject centering and tracking, the Osmo Action 5 Pro sets a new quality standard for action photography, capturing every adventure from the sea to the mountains, whether in the sun or the snow.
“By combining the image quality of a professional camera with the rugged durability of an action camera, we continue to innovate and set new standards for the industry,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI. “Creators have evolved, becoming more sophisticated in the stories they tell and the moments that they capture. Instead of making incremental improvements, we strive to push the entire action camera category forward and evolve with these creators.”
13.5-stops of dynamic range deliver groundbreaking image quality
Osmo Action 5 Pro features a next-gen 1/1.3″ sensor with a 2.4 μm pixel size and a high dynamic range of up to 13.5 stops, making it the first action camera with specs that rival professional cameras. Images can be captured in 10-bit D-Log M and support hybrid log-gamma (HLG) high-brightness displays. It can also shoot high-dynamic, low-light video at 4K/60fps, capturing intricate shadow details without overexposing highlights, thereby enhancing overall image quality. Additionally, SuperNight mode with AI noise reduction algorithms can overcome the darkness in extremely low-light environments to yield cleaner and clearer footage.
Extended 4-hour battery life for longer shoots
Osmo Action 5 Pro delivers up to 4 hours of continuous use with a single battery – a 50 percent improvement from its predecessor. This new innovation is made possible with a lower power consumption 4nm chip, a larger 1950mAh battery, and a proprietary DJI algorithm that optimizes for energy savings. Even in temperatures as low as -20° C (-4°F), the camera can reliably record video for up to 3.6 hours. The industry average for action camera battery life is approximately 2 hours. Moreover, the battery can deliver 2 hours of shooting from a 15-minute charge using the fast-charging DJI 30W USB-C Charger.
Industry’s first built-in subject centering and tracking
Osmo Action 5 Pro is the first action camera to offer built-in subject centering and tracking, allowing creators to shoot without a gimbal. Powered with a high-performance 4nm chip and machine learning algorithms, the camera can intelligently detect a subject’s position and dynamically adjust the composition to keep the subject centered in every frame.
Optimized for underwater photography
Osmo Action 5 Pro offers the industry’s deepest waterproofing depth at 20m without a case. The built-in color temperature sensor captures true-to-life colors under the sea. The camera can also be set to start recording automatically while submerged and to stop after surfacing. It also has a built-in pressure gauge to record underwater depth, duration, and altitude data to ensure the user’s safety. Certified with EN13319, it meets globally recognized standards for diving accessories.
Larger dual OLED high-brightness touchscreens
Osmo Action 5 Pro features larger front and rear tempered glass touchscreens upgraded with OLED high-brightness displays. With an impressive peak brightness of 1000 cd/㎡, daytime shooting becomes easier. In increasing the screen size and narrowing the bezels while retaining the camera body’s size, the screen-to-body ratio increased by 16% from its predecessor.
Compatible with DJI OsmoAudio™ connectivity ecosystem
Osmo Action 5 Pro can connect directly to the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter via Bluetooth, enabling ultra-high-sampling-rate audio recording. This setup provides studio-quality sound while eliminating the need for a receiver. When Built-in Mic Audio Backup is enabled, ambient sounds can be recorded to add a richer layer of authenticity.
Other practical features for enhanced performance
Intelligent shooting and editing with Mimo app
Creators can quickly preview the camera view, adjust settings, and edit their footage by connecting the Osmo Action 5 Pro with the DJI Mimo app via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Some new Mimo features include taking live photos and capturing 4K high-resolution frame captures, reproducing D-Log M flat color profiles for more stylized adjustments, and exporting videos in 4K/120fps, 4:3 aspect ratio. Creators can also download photos and videos from their DJI camera in the background, allowing them to continue using their smartphones for other tasks.
