DJI Osmo Action 6 front
DJI’s First Action Camera with Variable Aperture and 1/1.1-Inch Square 4K Sensor
November 18, 2025. DJI releases the Osmo Action 6. It’s an all-in-one action camera with a adjustable apertures from f/2.0 to f/4.0. The 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensor has a pixel pitch of 2.4 μm—which is large for such a small sensor, making it very capable in low light.

Action Camera
Action cameras attach to helmets, skis, sailboat masts, surfboards, trains, planes, automobiles and any adrenaline activities. They are rugged, tiny and lightweight, built for your next adventure.
DJI’s first variable aperture action camera
Most action cameras have fixed apertures—typically f/2.8. The DJI Osmo Action 6 has a maximum aperture of f/2.0 that can be set manually. There’s also an adaptive auto aperture mode, with stops from f/2.0 to f/4.0.
Macro attachment
Macro
Minimum focus is 35 cm. The Macro Lens accessory (sold separately) lets you get 11 cm away from fancy food, scary scorpions, and adventurous closeups.
182 degree FOV wider angle attachment
Wide
Normal field of view is 155°. The Osmo Action 6 FOV Boost Lens (sold separately) is a wide angle adapter to get a 182° field of view.
4K Square
The 1/1.1-inch square sensor provides up to 3840 x 3840 video resolution. That’s UHD 4K whether you crop horizontally or vertically in post. You don’t have to turn the camera 90°on its side for those smartphone compositions. DJI calls this “Shoot now, crop later.”
D-Log M
DJI’s 10-bit D-Log M color system helps preserve highlight and shadow detail in post‑production. D‑Log M preview lets you view the image with a built-in LUT rather than what would otherwise appear as a flat, desaturated image. Dynamic range is 13.5 stops.
Slow and super slow motion
You can record up to 120 fps in UHD 4K 4:3 or 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratios, and up to 240 fps in 1080p 16:9 or 9:16.
Set the camera to SuperNight mode for nighttime low light setups up to 60 fps in UHD 4K.
Osmo Action 6 can generate up to 32x Super Slow Motion playback at 1080p by interpolating frames recorded at 1080p / 240 fps. This is the equivalent of 960 fps when played back at 1080p / 30 fps.
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
RockSteady 3.0 and RockSteady 3.0+ modes reduce camera shake electronically.
HorizonBalancing corrects camera tilt up to ±45° for level horizons within ±45°.
HorizonSteady eliminates roll axis shake within 360° and maintain a level horizon up to UHD 4K / 60 fps.
Waterproof
The Osmo Action 6 has an IP68 waterproof rating up to 20 meters deep without an underwater housing and up to 60 meters with the optional waterproof housing. The built-in color temperature sensor ensures true-to-life underwater colors instead of dreaded pale blue or worse, while the depth gauge records dive data.
Deep water housing
Built-in Storage
The camera has 64 GB of built-in storage, with 50 GB available for use. Storage can be increased by inserting a microSD card.
Battery
The swappable 4-hour battery may run longer than you care to sprint in a mere bathing suit at -20°C (-4°F) or surf sand dunes at 45°C (113° F). But if you want more, that same battery can be fast-charged to 80% in 22 minutes while you thaw out or hydrate.
Controls
Gesture control and intelligent subject tracking lets you work hands-free when your mittened fingers cannot access the 2.5-inch 326 ppi 400×712 reach touchscreen or the front 1.46-inch 331 ppi 342×342 touchscreen. As DJI says, “focus on the journey itself.”
Audio
The Osmo Action 6 connects directly to one or two DJI microphone transmitters (Mic 2, Mic 3 or Mic Mini) without requiring a wireless receiver. Without wireless transmitters, the camera’s built-in three-mic array captures stereo audio.
