Enable HDR for video (5.3K and 4K) and photo modes to deliver more detail in your shadows and highlights. Capture your 5.3K60 video or 27MP RAW photos with sharp details and cinematic image quality. You can even extract 24.7MP frames from your videos using the Quik app. Record 2.7K video at 240 frames per second and play it back in 8x slow motion.
With HyperSmooth 6.0 and AutoBoost
The updated HyperSmooth 6.0 delivers AutoBoost performance, reducing cropping that can compromise your frame. 360° Horizon Lock ensures your shot remains stable and even when your camera rotates completely.
Bluetooth Audio Connection
You can enhance audio recording by connecting HERO12 to compatible Bluetooth devices, such as a wireless microphone. You can even connect wireless headphones to monitor your audio feed or facilitate voice commands in noisy environments. You can confirm that HERO12 has received the command by hearing camera alerts through your headphones.
Pro or Easy Control Modes
Choose between two control modes on the HERO12: point-and-shoot simplicity or full camera control. Easy control lets you frame your shot and press the shutter button, a one-time shooting solution. Switch between widescreen and mobile shooting, slow motion, night effects, and other settings by tapping the 2.27" rear touchscreen. Pro controls let you fine-tune all modes, settings, and features, and then set them as a preset.
Improved Battery Life
HERO12, combined with the Enduro battery, boasts improved battery efficiency, offering twice the battery life of its predecessor. You can record for over 70 minutes of continuous 5.3K60 footage or more than 1.5 hours of 1080p30 video.
New Time Range Tools
Set the time-lapse photo tool to capture all the action at fixed intervals while you're making a tennis jump or shooting at a target. HingSight captures footage up to 30 seconds before recording, so you won't miss a frame even if you hit the shutter too late. Timed Capture turns on the GoPro and captures a shot for easy photo time-lapses up to 24 hours prior. Duration Capture records video clips from 15 seconds to 3 hours long.
Night Effects and Time Jump
Star Trails uses the Earth's rotation to create light trails from stars in the sky.
Light Painting transforms moving light into brushstrokes.
Vehicle Light Paths records the movement of traffic lights at night.
Time Code Synchronization
If you own more than one HERO12, you can easily synchronize camera timecode, making multi-camera editing easier. This feature is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and other editing software, speeding up post-production.
More Advanced Features
Choose between 8-bit or 10-bit color capture for smoother transitions.
GoPro's exclusive HyperView digital lens presents the 8:7 aspect ratio image captured by the new image sensor as a wide-angle 16:9 shot, enabling immersive POV video.
With your camera connected to your home Wi-Fi, plug in the HERO12 and automatically upload your footage to the cloud. A highlight video is sent to your phone and can then be edited with music and effects, synchronized for further editing.
