4K (16:9)@24/25/30FPS

It also allows you to enable RockSteady 3.0 or RockSteady 3.0+, as well as choose between a standard or wide field of view. It is recommended to use it when recording nighttime, very dark city scenes. For nights in the city with basic lighting, the standard video mode will be sufficient.

How to use the Subject Tracking mode offered by DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro?

Subject Tracking mode makes the camera keep the subject in the center of the frame and continuously follow it, making it ideal for recording while skiing, snowboarding, biking or motorcycling, for example. This mode only allows you to track people - it won't work when filming animals and other targets.

When a person is in the center of the camera view, it will be prioritized as a tracked object and a yellow frame will appear to indicate that the target has been selected. Press the shutter/record button to start filming, and the yellow frame will turn green, indicating that the subject has been locked and tracking has started. As the subject moves, the gray frame will move accordingly, helping the user maintain a consistent shot. If the tracked object disappears from the field of view, the green frame will turn red. If the subject disappears from the frame for more than 10 seconds, even if it reappears in the camera view, tracking will not resume automatically, and the gray frame will be reset to the center of the. To restart tracking, once again lock the subject and start recording.
