Hey there! So, if you're curious about how the GoPro HERO12 Black handles in low light, it has its ups and downs. According to the manufacturer's description, they’ve packed it with advanced image processing to cope with different lighting conditions.
But, based on what we found, it's not the best out there when it comes to really dim settings. You might notice some graininess and noise, which is pretty common with action cams due to their small sensor sizes.
That said, the HERO12 Black has a few tricks up its sleeve. It comes with an enhanced Night Mode that tweaks settings like exposure time to try and get better shots in the dark. It works fairly well, but don’t expect it to compete with higher-end mirrorless or DSLR cameras.
Also, it features HyperSmooth 5.0 stabilization and an upgraded lens that’s supposed to help in low-light situations, according to the manufacturer. This tech helps keep your footage steady and a bit clearer, but it isn't a perfect fix for low light issues.
To get the best results, you might want to add some extra lighting when you can. A portable LED light or shooting near artificial light can really boost your footage quality.
So, while the HERO12 Black has made some improvements for low-light shooting, it's still got some of the usual issues. If top-notch low-light performance is a dealbreaker, you might want to check out cameras specifically designed for that or even mirrorless cameras or DSLR cameras.
