- Dynamic range of 13.5 f-stops for professional image quality

A camera for professionals and adventurers
With the Osmo Action 5 Pro, DJI is launching an action camera that is aimed not only at outdoor enthusiasts, but also at professional filmmakers. The highlight of this camera is the impressive 1/1.3-inch sensor, which offers a dynamic range of 13.5 f-stops, normally found in high-priced professional cameras.
Thanks to 10-bit D-Log M recording and support for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) displays, users can create content in exceptional quality – even in low light or in particularly high-contrast scenes.
SuperNight mode further improves image quality in dark environments with AI-supported noise reduction. Whether shooting at night in the city or in dimly lit caves, the camera delivers clear and detailed images.
Longer battery life for endless adventures
One of the biggest improvements of the Osmo Action 5 Pro over its predecessors is the significantly extended battery life. With up to 4 hours of continuous recording time, the camera stands out from the average 2 hours normally offered by action cameras. Even under extreme conditions, such as temperatures as low as -20 °C, the camera can work reliably for almost 4 hours.
Fast charging is also part of the range of functions: the battery can be charged for up to 2 hours of recording within 15 minutes – an absolute plus for those who are always on the move.
Innovative subject tracking and more creative control
For the first time, DJI is offering an action camera with integrated subject centering and tracking. Using machine learning, the camera intelligently adjusts the image composition so that the subject always remains in focus. This opens up completely new possibilities for dynamic shots without the need for a gimbal. Action enthusiasts and vloggers will particularly appreciate this feature as it allows them to capture complex movements with ease.
The camera is also waterproof up to 20 meters – without an additional housing. For underwater shots, a color temperature sensor has been integrated to ensure that colors are reproduced realistically. Another remarkable feature: the camera can be set to start automatically as soon as it is submerged and stop recording when it comes back to the surface.
Practical additional functions and accessories
The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro comes with numerous additional functions that make the creative process easier. Thanks to Wi-Fi 6.0 and USB 3.0, fast data transfers of up to 80 MB/s are possible. The camera also supports live streaming in various resolutions and has 47 GB of internal memory, so there is enough space for recordings even without additional memory cards.
In addition, the DJI Mimo app offers numerous options for controlling and editing recordings directly via the smartphone. Live photos, timecodes and the ability to export 4K videos at up to 120 frames per second make editing and customizing the material particularly easy and versatile.
DJI’s extensive range of accessories is also worth mentioning: from the multifunctional charging handle and various mounts to the Bluetooth remote control – the camera can be perfectly adapted to individual needs.
Conclusion
The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro represents an impressive advancement in the world of action cameras. It not only offers high-quality images and video, but also innovative features such as integrated subject tracking and longer battery life. With a starting price of 379 euros for the standard package and 479 euros for the adventure combo, it is available immediately and is aimed at adventurers and filmmakers alike. The combination of robust design and professional performance makes the Osmo Action 5 Pro an ideal companion for any challenge.
