GoPro Hero5 has become one of the highly anticipated devices for this year after a short instructional video clip was leaked early this month. Now, several images and a user's manual were revealed. The still-announced action cam seems to be a hybrid of Hero4 and Hero Session models and will contain several features, and it will reportedly be able to take voice commands.
A Japanese blog called Nokishita was the first to publish the new set of leaks, images and specs, but these were subsequently taken down. Luckily, folks over at Mirrorless Rumors were able to save precious copies of the files that were now being shared within the community.
The action cam will reportedly be weighing 118 grams with battery and 90 grams without. Its battery is still removable and slightly bumped up to 1,220 mAh (1,160 mAh previously), has a 6-element aspherical all-glass lens, replacing the micro-USB with a USB-Type C port, and support for class 10 64GB microSD. Its connectivity includes dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1.
Fans are more interested in the upcoming features of the rumored GoPro Hero5, and one is its alleged voice command. A user can say "GoPro turn on," GoPro turn off," "GoPro turn start video," GoPro stop vide," and a few more. However, a user pointed out that it seems like an edited image since there are difference on the font, The Verge reported.
Additionally, the leaked manual also dictates that there will be a upcoming cloud service from the company, the GoPro Plus, which will allow owners to upload all their images and videos online. This can be performed while the unit is charging up. These files will then be available on mobile devices, laptop or desktop for editing and sharing.
GoPro aficionados were also able to take a glimpse of the leaked manual that says the still-unannounced action cam will be featuring image stabilization, lockable ISO and shutter speed, touch selectable spot focus, linear mode, HDR JPG photos, RAW DNG photos, low compression and full RAW audio. Reportedly, it will also be featuring a touchscreen, and GPS.
The GoPro Hero5's price and release date remain unknown. The company also failed to comment on the leaked information.
