Bringing together innovative optics, a new square sensor and a suite of pro-grade features designed to give creators more freedom than ever before. At its heart sits an all-new 1/1.1-inch sensor, engineered to capture rich detail and striking clarity whether you are shooting fast-paced adventure or intimate everyday moments. This new design allows recording in up to 4K/120fps in a 4:3 format, preserving more information in both the highlights and shadows, and delivering a broader, more cinematic view of the world. With an impressive 13.5 stops of dynamic range and 2.4µm equivalent pixels, it brings nuance and depth even to challenging scenes, while the maximum f/2.0 aperture enhances low-light performance substantially.

One of the most exciting developments is DJI” first variable-aperture system on an action camera. The Osmo Action 6 lets you shift between f/2.0 and f/4.0, offering the creative control usually reserved for larger cameras. The wide aperture delivers beautifully bright and clean imagery after dark or indoors, and when paired with DJI’s Macro Lens, it allows you to capture stunning close-ups of food, pets or small objects with a soft, appealing background blur. In brighter conditions, the adaptive Auto mode selects the most appropriate aperture range for your scene, maintaining clarity and balance across shifting lighting situations without the need for manual intervention. Night-time shooting receives another creative boost through the new Starburst mode, turning distant city lights into delicate star-shaped highlights that lend an artistic touch to urban scenes after dark.

DJI’s new 4K Custom mode, powered by the square sensor, gives you the flexibility to shoot first and reframe later. Whether you need horizontal footage for a cinematic edit or vertical framing for social posts, you can freely crop while preserving excellent detail. Low-light performance is further enhanced by SuperNight mode, which combines the camera’s larger sensor, brighter aperture and advanced noise reduction to create crisp, detailed footage at up to 4K/60fps when the light drops. For colour-grade enthusiasts, 10-bit D-Log M preserves highlight and shadow detail with greater latitude for post-production, supported by an on-screen preview that assists with real-time monitoring.

Slow-motion fans are equally well catered for. Native 4K/120fps recording allows action to unfold in beautifully smooth, high-resolution detail, while intelligent processing can generate up to 32× Super Slow Motion at 1080p, perfect for freezing fast movement with impressive clarity. Stabilisation has also been pushed to a new level. RockSteady 3.0 eliminates shake even during intense activity, while HorizonSteady maintains a perfectly level horizon up to 4K/60fps, ensuring footage stays smooth and upright no matter how dynamic the motion.

The camera introduces a new Natural Wide field of view that keeps the image broad and immersive while gently reducing vertical distortion for a more natural-looking perspective. Its film tones provide carefully crafted colour profiles for instant character, and Portrait mode ensures accurate, natural-looking skin tones for the moments when people take centre stage. Intelligent subject tracking keeps your chosen subject locked in the frame, and Burst mode ensures fleeting moments are captured the instant they unfold.

Designed to adapt to almost any scenario, the Osmo Action 6 connects seamlessly with DJI’s wider ecosystem of accessories and software. Underwater enthusiasts will appreciate that the camera is waterproof to 20 metres with no housing required, and its built-in colour-temperature sensor and water-pressure gauge help maintain accurate colours and record dive data. Cold-weather adventurers benefit from reliable operation down to -20°C, supported by a battery that lasts up to four hours, while gesture control and subject tracking make it easy to capture snow sports even when wrapped in thick gloves. Motorcyclists, cyclists, mountain bikers and hikers all gain from powerful stabilisation, accurate sports data overlays and the ability to compose, control and edit via the DJI Mimo app.

Audio has been given equal attention with the DJI OsmoAudio ecosystem. The Osmo Action 6 supports direct connection to two DJI microphone transmitters without the need for a receiver, while the built-in three-mic array captures rich stereo sound. Intelligent wind-noise reduction ensures speech remains clear even when conditions become challenging, and the built-in mic backup option blends ambient sound for an immersive and authentic result.

Practical touches continue throughout its design. The dual OLED touchscreens on the front and rear are bright and vibrant, allowing clear monitoring in any environment. With 50GB of built-in storage, the camera offers valuable peace of mind when you need to keep shooting without a memory card. An upgraded dual-direction quick-release system makes mounting fast and intuitive, while Pre-Rec mode stores up to five minutes of footage before you hit record, ensuring spontaneous action is never lost. For multi-camera work, timecode support streamlines post-production, allowing footage to synchronise effortlessly. Connectivity is equally up to date, with Wi-Fi 6.0 offering wireless transfers up to 80 MB/s and USB 3.1 enabling speeds of up to 300 MB/s. Fast charging means you can reach 80% power in only twenty-two minutes and a full charge in just under an hour. When it’s time to share your adventures live, Wi-Fi livestreaming through the Mimo app makes broadcasting straightforward and immediate.
