Key Features of the Osmo Pocket 3
- 1-inch CMOS image sensor: The Osmo Pocket 3’s image sensor is significantly larger than those found in most other mobile cameras, which gives it a significant advantage in terms of image quality. The larger sensor size allows the Osmo Pocket 3 to capture more light, resulting in sharper images and less noise, especially in low-light conditions. The sensor also supports 10-bit HDR color, which means that it can capture a wider range of colors than traditional 8-bit sensors. This results in more realistic and vibrant images.
- Rotatable 2-inch OLED touchscreen: The Osmo Pocket 3’s touchscreen is a major improvement over the previous model, which had a fixed touchscreen. The rotatable touchscreen makes it much easier to shoot in different orientations, such as vertical for social media or horizontal for traditional video. The touchscreen is also very responsive and easy to use, making it easy to adjust settings and focus on your subject.
- Built-in three-mic array: The Osmo Pocket 3’s built-in three-mic array is another significant improvement over the previous model. The array captures audio from all directions, resulting in more immersive and realistic audio recordings. The array also does a good job of reducing wind noise, so you can get clear audio recordings even in windy conditions.
- Long-lasting battery life: The Osmo Pocket 3’s battery life is impressive, especially for a camera with such a small form factor. The camera can record up to 116 minutes of 4K60 video on a single charge, which is more than enough for most shooting scenarios.
- Suite of creative modes: The Osmo Pocket 3 comes with a suite of creative modes that make it easy to capture unique and engaging videos. These modes include SpinShot, Motion Lapse, Digital Zoom, and Panorama. SpinShot allows you to create smooth spinning camera movements, Motion Lapse allows you to create time-lapse videos with stunning cinematic effects, Digital Zoom allows you to zoom in on your subject without losing image quality, and Panorama allows you to capture sweeping landscape photos.
- Effortless editing with the LightCut App: The Osmo Pocket 3 comes with the LightCut App, which allows you to edit your videos directly on the camera. The app is very easy to use and comes with a variety of features, such as trimming, cropping, adding music, and applying filters. This makes it easy to create share-worthy videos without having to transfer them to a computer.
