The GoPro Hero 5 user manual was recently leaked for all tech savvy individuals to consume. It looks like GoPro is preparing for a massive upgrade because the leaked information revealed that the forthcoming unit contains a voice command feature.

According to Slash Gear, users can take photos, record videos and highlight clips through the voice command feature. There are 10 voice commands identified but the most unconventional voice command was "That was sick," which is used for adding a HiLight Tag to the video.

The other nine voice commands are the following: "GoPro turn on" activates the device; "GoPro start video" captures video; "GoPro HiLight" adds a HiLight Tag to the video; "GoPro stop video" stops the video from rolling; "GoPro take a photo" captures a single picture; "GoPro shoot burst" captures multiple photos; "GoPro start time lapse" activates the capture of time lapse photos; "GoPro stop time lapse" stops the capture of time lapse photos; and "GoPro turn off" shuts down the device.

Moreover, according to Value Walk the upcoming GoPro Hero 5 can shoot in 3D. The report said that the Japanese Nokishita Camera website initially posted photos of the new device. Although they quickly took it down, it was already too late. By then, people had already saved the leaked information.

The leak revealed that the camera weighs 118 grams with the battery, and 90 grams without it. The dimensions are 62 mm x 44.6 mm x 33.7 mm. The GoPro Hero 5 reportedly has USB Type-C and HDMI ports.

Furthermore, the camera will reportedly accommodate shooting in 4K, 2.7K, and 1140p at 30fps, 60fps, and 80fps. Video will be capable of recording at 120fps. In addition, the camera is water resistant up to 60 meters.

Sources suggest that the GoPro Hero 5 and Karma, GoPro's first drone, are expected to launch simultaneously this Christmas.
