With the ability to shoot up to 5.3K60 video or 27MP RAW photos, the HERO12 produces incredibly detailed, lifelike images. HDR is now enabled for both photo and video modes, helping capture crisp details in shadows and highlights. For slow motion, the camera can record smooth 2.7K video at 240fps. Quik app users can pull 24.7MP still frames from videos.
HyperSmooth 6.0 adds AutoBoost to maximize stabilization while reducing cropping that can compromise framing. This pairs with Horizon Lock to keep footage steady even if the camera rotates a full 360 degrees. These top-of-the-line stabilization capabilities let users capture shake-free video during intense activities.
New Bluetooth capabilities allow you to connect wireless mics for upgraded audio or headphones for monitoring audio and voice control in noisy environments. The HERO12 gives audio alerts through headphones to confirm commands were received.
The redesigned battery enables up to 70 minutes of continuous 5.3K60 video or over 1.5 hours of 1080p30 footage, doubling recording times. New Interval Capture tools like Hindsight and Scheduled Capture make it easy to never miss a shot. Night Effects modes create unique exposures like Star Trails and Light Painting.
Usability gets a boost with Easy and Pro control modes. Easy mode provides point-and-shoot functionality while Pro unlocks full manual control to set advanced presets. Additional features include 10-bit color, HyperView digital wide-angle lens, and auto-upload when connected to home WiFi.
Built rugged as always, the HERO12 is waterproof down to 33 feet without a case. The included battery performs better in cold weather. Timecode Sync matches timecode across multiple cameras for easier editing. Overall, the GoPro HERO12 Black sets a new standard for performance and innovation in the action camera market.
