SUMMARY

GoPro has officially joined the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) standards group, as announced by OM System. This membership is linked to GoPro's Mission 1 Pro ILS camera, which features a one-inch sensor and an MFT mount but lacks electronic contacts, limiting lens compatibility to manual focus optics. OM System believes GoPro's participation will broaden the MFT system's application in amateur and professional filmmaking, potentially leading to new visual expression possibilities.
