GoPro's New Cameras Revive Manual Focus Amidst Market Struggles

GoPro, a brand synonymous with action cameras, is facing market challenges due to increased competition and reduced necessity for its products. In response, the company has launched its Mission 1 camera range, which notably brings back manual focus capabilities, a feature absent in previous fixed-focus models like the Hero 13 Black. This move revives a technology from 1977, contrasting with the autofocus common in other cameras. The new models feature larger 1-inch image sensors and manual focus, potentially requiring user adjustment, especially when using interchangeable lenses.
