2,What is the size of the image sensor in Osmo Action 6? How does it differ from the image sensor in Osmo Action 5 Pro?

Osmo Action 6 features a new 1/1.1‑inch square sensor with large 2.4 μm pixels, delivering up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range. It offers high‑dynamic‑range, low‑light performance at up to 4K/60fps and can record at up to 4K/120fps in 4:3 mode. It also supports shooting videos in 4K Custom mode at up to 4K/60fps, in HorizonSteady mode at up to 4K/60fps and in Normal Video mode at up to 8K/30fps*.

*8K recording is restricted to 16:9 aspect ratio. EIS is limited to RockSteady/RockSteady+, and FOV options to Standard, Natural Wide, and Wide. Film Tone and Quality Priority are unavailable. Max ISO: 12800 (normal color) or 6400 (D-Log M). Downloading and editing 8K footage in DJI Mimo app is currently supported only on iPhone 15 Pro series and later models, and support for other devices is subject to future app updates.

3,What is D-Log M color mode of Osmo Action 6?

D-Log M is designed to capture a wide dynamic range from the sensor, and colors are distributed evenly so the bright and dark parts of the video have greater fidelity and clarity. It is not a LUT, but a lower-contrast video with a flat color profile, which is great for expanding post-processing options.

4,How to export photos and videos from Osmo Action 6?

There are three options available:

1. Connect to the DJI Mimo app and download content from the microSD card and built-in storage to your smartphone.

2. Use a card reader to export content from the microSD card to your computer or smartphone.

3. Swipe down from the camera view, tap the Settings icon, and select

USB Mode. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the camera to a computer or smartphone with a USB-C port using a USB-C cable. You can then export content from the microSD card and built-in storage.

5,What video and stabilization specifications does SuperNight mode support? When should I use this mode?

Supports shooting at 4K@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, 2.7K@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, and 1080p@24/25/30/48/50/60fps. You can enable RockSteady 3.0 or RockSteady 3.0+, and choose among Standard (Dewarp), Wide and Natural Wide FOV. It is recommended for use at night in urban areas.

7,How to manually set the aperture?

You can manually adjust Osmo Action 6's aperture modes in two ways:

1. On the camera

Power on the Osmo Action 6 and go to the preview screen.

Tap the image/audio settings button on the right.

Locate the “Variable Aperture” option and choose the following modes:

Auto: Variable aperture that automatically adjusts to shooting conditions. Maximizes aperture in low light.

Fixed (f/2.8): Fixed f/2.8 aperture, like classic action cameras. Minimum focus distance is 35 cm.

Starburst (f/4.0): Fixed aperture f/4.0 with minimum focus distance of 20 cm to capture six-point starburst effect from point light sources.

2. Via the DJI Mimo app

Open DJI Mimo and go to the main shooting screen.

Tap the “...” (More) button in the top right, enable “Variable Aperture,” and then select Auto, Fixed (f/2.8), or Starburst (f/4.0) aperture modes.

*Aperture modes may be limited depending on the shooting mode and accessories. For details, refer to the Osmo Action 6 Aperture Modes.

8,How do I solve the issue of flicker when playing footage shot on Osmo Action 6 on different computers?

Playback of recorded footage on computers can be affected by computer settings and performance. If flicker occurs, try the following solutions:

Apple Mac: Go to System Preferences > Displays > Refresh Rate, and change the refresh rate to a fixed value, instead of ProMotion.

Other computers: A low-performance graphics card may cause flicker when playing the files. It is recommended to use a better-performing computer for viewing.

9,Why does Osmo Action 6 heat up during use?

When using high-specification, high-performance modes (such as 4K/120fps standard video mode, 2.7K/60fps Subject Tracking mode, or 4K/60fps or 4K/30fps SuperNight mode), the camera consumes more power, which can result in a noticeable increase in temperature. Additionally, extended recording sessions or prolonged handheld use can also cause the camera to feel warm.

10,What should I do before using Osmo Action 6 underwater?

1. Check that the Glass Lens Cover and screens are intact. Close the battery compartment cover and the USB-C port cover, and tighten the Glass Lens Cover.

2. Osmo Action 6 can be used at depths of up to 20 meters. However, it is recommended to install the Waterproof Case for long-duration underwater shooting or in environments with high water impact pressure. With the Waterproof Case, Osmo Action 6 can be used at depths of up to 60 meters.

3. Do not use the product in extreme water environments or unknown liquids. Avoid using it in hot springs or corrosive liquids.

4. Before changing the Glass Lens Cover, air dry the camera to avoid any fogging caused by water entering the lens cap.

5. Rinse the camera with clean water after using it underwater, and completely air dry it before using it again.
