But why would you want all those extra pixels?
So, we can see that 5.3K, 5K and 4K GoPro cameras can capture far more pixels and details than a typical Full HD camera. When this is combined with HERO10 Black’s all-new GP2 processor and an ultra-high resolution 23.6MP sensor, you get crisp, clear videos that result in more life-like image quality. Once you know the basics of 4K, it's easy to understand the next step up to 5K resolutions, or in the case of HERO10 Black, 5.3K resolution.ĥ.3K has a pixel count of 15.8 million pixels, which equates to 91% more resolution than 4K, and an incredible 665% more resolution than 1080p HD video. Because of this, 4K is also known as Ultra HD, or UHD. When it comes to 4K, images and videos captured in this format usually have 3840 x 2160 pixels in total, which is four times more than the pixel count of a Full HD or 1920 x 1080 resolution, also known as 1080p.
A pixel is one tiny dot in an image, and higher resolutions contain more of those pixels within the frame than lower resolutions. So, let's start by looking at what exactly 4K is with a simple definition.ĤK is a type of resolution, which is a measurement of the number of pixels captured and displayed in an image and video.
Various terms like HD, UHD 1080p, and 4K can be confusing if you don’t know what the resolutions, K’s and pixel counts stand for. With 5.3K video specifically, images will reflect more of the fine details and natural colors we see in the real world. And, more pixels create sharper, clearer, more realistic looking videos. We’ll dig into this more as you read on, but in general, 5.3K, 5K and 4K resolutions all have one main thing in common: more pixels. But why do you want higher resolutions in an action camera?
GoPro 5K and 4K action cameras meld tiny but tough camera technology with killer video resolutions up to 5.3K with the latest HERO10 Black, making them the ultimate capture device for high-quality video.
