DJI Action 5 Pro Update – What’s New in June 2025?
Summer always makes me pick up the DJI Action 5 Pro a little more — the evening bike rides, the river paths, the random sunsets that sneak up on me — so when DJI dropped a June 2025 firmware update, I couldn’t resist installing it right away. And honestly, the camera feels different now. Some parts better. Some parts… well, you know how updates go. But there’s real magic in here if you know where to look. 🌅🎥
I felt that familiar excitement as soon as I hit “Update.” That feeling that maybe — just maybe — this tiny little cube was about to get new life breathed into it. And as soon as I stepped outside for a quick evening test, things definitely felt sharper, cleaner, and more responsive. The camera suddenly handled those tricky low-light tree-shadow transitions with a confidence I hadn’t seen before. At other moments, I could feel the exposure pump in ways that reminded me updates are never perfect — they’re alive, always changing under the hood. ⚙️✨
The biggest thing I felt was how the night footage changed. DJI’s new Night Super-Quality Mode actually made my darker shots look usable — not that mushy, noisy mess you’d normally expect. Walking past streetlights, you get this soft glow now instead of heavy noise. And I love that feeling when you look at a screen and go, “Okay… that actually looks good.” Those small surprises keep me hooked on these cameras.
Then the new 4K 60fps bump hit me. That buttery-smooth motion at full 4K feels so good when you're moving — bike rides, driving shots, walking shots — all look more natural. I could feel that cinematic flow as I tested it, especially with long shadows stretching across the road. There’s something about 60fps that just breathes a little more life into everyday moments. 💫
And the new USB-C 4K livestream output… that one honestly caught me off guard. I’m not a heavy livestreamer, but the idea of plugging this little camera into a monitor or streaming rig and pushing clean 4K instantly? That’s wild. It makes the Action 5 Pro feel more “creator-first,” like DJI is paying attention to the way real people use these cameras.
But I’ll be honest too — not everything is perfect. I noticed some exposure breathing, especially on my drive past the big tree lines. You know that flicker you get when the camera overthinks? Yeah — it’s there. And the stabilization feels slightly different. Not worse — just… floatier. Like the camera got a personality shift overnight. Updates do that sometimes. Sometimes you have to relearn the tool before it clicks again. 🎭💭
Still, the new pre-recording mode is a lifesaver. Having 2–5 minutes rolling quietly in the background means those “I wish I caught that” moments suddenly start appearing on your timeline. And I like that. Feels like the camera’s watching the world with me instead of waiting for me to press the button.

🌄 Final Thoughts
There’s something almost poetic about updating a camera you’ve already shot so much with. It’s like meeting an old friend after they’ve gone through a life change — familiar, but new around the edges. This June update gave my Action 5 Pro a second wind, especially in the evenings. The smoother motion, the brighter nights, the cleaner detail — I could feel those improvements right away, like the camera wanted me to start filming again.
But I also felt the quirks — the exposure flickers, the slight shift in stabilization, that moment where I went “Huh, that’s different.” Every camera I’ve ever owned has had updates that made me adjust the way I shoot, and this one is no different. You tweak, you adapt, and eventually you find the sweet spot again. That’s part of the creator life — you learn the device in front of you instead of fighting it. 🎥💭
The update isn’t perfect, but neither am I, and that’s why I kind of love it. These tools grow with us. They glitch, they improve, they change the way we shoot, and in the process, they push us to shoot differently too. I like that the Action 5 Pro still surprises me. I like that it still gives me moments where I look at the screen and go, “Damn, that looks nice.” That’s why I stick with it. It keeps me curious. 🌞✨
At the end of the day, this update makes the Action 5 Pro feel more alive — sharper at night, smoother in motion, and more capable in the hands of someone who knows how to work with its strengths. It’s not perfect, but it’s better, and sometimes that’s all you need to get inspired again.
