MP4 (HEVC).

Yes. On the recording specifications page, tap the RS|Wide icon in the upper right corner to switch the FOV to Standard (Dewarp).

Yes. Photos from Timelapse can be downloaded and viewed on a computer.

Osmo Action 5 Pro uses RockSteady 3.0 technology to stabilize footage. This Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) technology is realized by increasing the shutter speed, analyzing the images captured by the CMOS sensor, and compensating by cutting off the edges of these images. In this way, multiple frames are overlaid and finally combined into a single frame that is sharp, clear, and accurately exposed.

HorizonSteady uses DJI's latest stabilization algorithm to correct shakes for any horizontal rotation (360°) and lock onto a leveled horizon in every frame, regardless of how the camera is mounted or worn. It allows you to capture smooth and stable footage whether you are cycling on bumpy roads or go-karting around a track.

HorizonSteady supports 1080p@24/25/30/48/50/60fps and 2.7K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps.

HorizonBalancing supports 1080p@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, 2.7K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, and 4K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps.

Yes. Osmo Action 5 Pro supports shooting up to 1080p/240fps 8x slow-motion videos.

D-Log M is designed to capture a wide dynamic range from the sensor, and colors are distributed evenly so the bright and dark parts of the video have greater fidelity and clarity. It is not a LUT, but a lower-contrast video with a flat color profile, which is great for expanding post-processing options.

There are three exporting options available:
1. Connect to the DJI Mimo app and download content from the microSD card and built-in storage to your smartphone.
2. Use a card reader to export content from the microSD card to your computer or smartphone.
3. Swipe down from the camera view, tap the Settings icon, and select OTG Connection. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the camera to a computer or smartphone with a Type-C port using a Type-C cable. You can then export content from the microSD card and built-in storage.

The footage is saved either on the microSD card inserted into the camera body or in the camera's built-in storage.

Yes. Osmo Action 5 Pro uses a prime lens, and subjects are clear when they are at least 350 mm or more from the lens.

Osmo Action 5 Pro supports evaluative metering but not spot metering.

Videos recorded by Osmo Action 5 Pro have a high dynamic range, making an HDR mode unnecessary.

The color temperature sensor of Osmo Action 5 Pro is built into the letter "O" of the logo on the front of the camera. Do not cover it during use. With the color temperature sensor, Osmo Action 5 Pro delivers outstanding color temperature performance even in scenarios with complex lighting, such as diving. The sensor corrects color temperature when filming underwater and reduces color temperature flicker due to the change of shooting angle. It can also detect and reduce light flickering more accurately.

SuperNight mode supports shooting at 1080p (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, 2.7K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, and 4K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps. You can enable RockSteady 3.0 or RockSteady 3.0+, and choose between standard or wide FOV. It is recommended to use this mode in darker urban night scenes. For city nights with basic lighting, standard video mode will suffice.

Subject Tracking mode keeps the subject centered in the frame and continuously track them, making it ideal for capturing various tracking scenarios like skiing/snowboarding and cycling/motorcycling. This mode is not suitable for tracking pets or other non-human subjects.

When using Subject Tracking mode, a gray frame will appear in the center of the camera view. When a person is centered in the camera view, they will be prioritized as the tracking subject and a yellow box appears, indicating that the subject has been selected. Press the shutter/record button to start recording, and the yellow box will turn green, indicating that the subject is locked and tracking has begun. As the subject moves, the gray frame will move accordingly, helping the user maintain a consistent shot. If the tracking subject is lost, the green box will turn red. If the subject remains lost for more than 10 seconds, even if they re-enter the camera view, tracking will not resume automatically, and the gray frame will reset to the center. To restart Subject Tracking, you need to re-lock the subject and start recording again.

Playback of recorded footage on computers can be affected by computer settings and performance. If flicker occurs, try the following solutions:
Apple Mac: Go to System Preferences > Displays > Refresh Rate, and change the refresh rate to a fixed value, instead of ProMotion.
Other computers: A low-performance graphics card may cause flicker when playing the files. It is recommended to use a better-performing computer for viewing.

With the Osmo Action GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller, you can record GPS information and add sports data to your video in the DJI Mimo app.

When using high-specification, high-performance modes (such as 4K/120fps standard video mode, 2.7K/60fps Subject Tracking mode, or 4K/30fps SuperNight mode), the camera consumes more power, which can result in a noticeable increase in temperature. Additionally, extended recording sessions or prolonged handheld use can also cause the camera to feel warm.
