The shooting options don’t end here either. Superview mode provides a wider – but more distorted – angle of vision in 4K, 2.7K, 1080p and 720p. You can also take 12-megapixel photos, and time-lapse photos at the same time as shooting video at 1, 440p, 1, 080p, and 720p. There are burst photo modes of up to 30 shots per second, for up to six seconds at a time.

GoPro hasn’t diverged from the 1/2.3-inch sensor used in the Hero 3 and 3+ Black for the Hero 4 Black, and it still has 4, 000 x 3, 000 pixels, making this a 12-megapixel CMOS. This is a decent size for an action camera, and at the large end of the scale for camcorders in general too – although not huge compared to a DSLR.
