We can easily say that the features that come with this camera are very good. Yes, all the features are not top level but at this price range and quality, we can’t expect much from the brand. The best feature which makes DJI OSMO Action 3 different and unique from other top-end action cameras is its cold resistance technology which can make the camera perform in negative temperatures up to -20. Basically, the feature is not that top but at this budget, these features are enough.

But this camera continues recording without getting shut down.
