MP4 (HEVC).

Yes. On the recording specifications page, tap the RS|Wide icon in the upper right corner to switch the FOV to Standard (Dewarp). Osmo Action 6 also introduces Natural Wide, which preserves an ultra-wide field of view while correcting vertical distortion in buildings, trees, and other subjects.

Yes. Photos from Timelapse can be downloaded and viewed on a computer.

Osmo Action 6 uses RockSteady 3.0 technology to stabilize footage. This Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) technology is realized by increasing the shutter speed, analyzing the images captured by the CMOS sensor, and compensating by cutting off the edges of these images. In this way, multiple frames are overlaid and finally combined into a single frame that is sharp, clear, and accurately exposed.

HorizonSteady uses DJI's latest stabilization algorithm to correct shakes for any horizontal rotation (360°) and lock onto a leveled horizon in every frame, regardless of how the camera is mounted or worn. It allows you to capture smooth and stable footage whether you are cycling on bumpy roads or go-karting around a track.

HorizonSteady supports 1080p@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, 2.7K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, 4K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, and 4K Custom@24/25/30/48/50/60fps.

HorizonBalancing supports 1080p@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, 2.7K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, 4K (16:9)@24/25/30/48/50/60fps, and 4K Custom@24/25/30/48/50/60fps.

Yes. Osmo Action 6 supports shooting up to 1080p/240fps 8x slow-motion videos.

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.

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.

The footage is saved either on the microSD card inserted into the camera body or in the camera's built-in storage.

Osmo Action 6 uses a prime lens with a variable aperture. At an aperture of f/4.0, the lens achieves sharp focus from 0.2 m to infinity.

Osmo Action 6 supports evaluative metering but not spot metering.

Videos recorded by Osmo Action 6 have a high dynamic range, making an HDR mode unnecessary.

The color temperature sensor of Osmo Action 6 is located near the Action logo on the front of the camera. Do not cover it during use. With the color temperature sensor, Osmo Action 6 delivers outstanding color temperature performance even in scenarios with complex lighting, such as diving. The sensor corrects color temperature when filming underwater, and prevents color temperature flicker due to the change of shooting angle. It can also detect and refrain light flickering more accurately.

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.

Subject Tracking mode keeps the subject centered in the frame and continuously track them, making it ideal for capturing various tracking scenarios like skiing/snowboarding and cycling/motorcycling. This mode is not suitable for tracking pets or other non-human subjects.
When using Subject Tracking mode, a gray frame will appear in the center of the camera view. When a person is centered in the camera view, they will be prioritized as the tracking subject and a yellow box appears, indicating that the subject has been selected. Press the shutter/record button to start recording, and the yellow box will turn green, indicating that the subject is locked and tracking has begun. As the subject moves, the gray frame will move accordingly, helping the user maintain a consistent shot. If the tracking subject is lost, the green box will turn red. If the subject remains lost for more than 90 seconds, even if they re-enter the camera view, tracking will not resume automatically, and the gray frame will reset to the center. To restart Subject Tracking, you need to re-lock the subject and start recording again.

^{* Subject Tracking mode is only available in horizontal shooting and supports shooting up to 2.7K/60fps video in both 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios. When Osmo Action 6 Macro Lens is attached, Subject Tracking is not supported.}

When the camera is submerged to 1 meter or deeper, it will automatically show dive depth and elapsed dive time on screen. In the Hiking & Parachuting menu, enable Altitude Display. Once you start recording, the live view will show your current altitude in real time.

In standard video mode, record at 1080p@100/120/240fps or 2.7K/4K (16:9)@100/120fps. Then, apply 4x frame interpolation to achieve up to 1080p/960fps, thus creating 32x super slow-motion video (from 1080p/240fps to 1080p/960fps).

^{* This feature does not require switching to Slow Motion mode. You can simply shoot in standard video mode. During playback, if the video is longer than 3 seconds, tap the Snail icon at any moment you want to apply in-camera slow motion processing to, and save a super slow-motion version of the original footage.}

The max operating time of Osmo Action 6 is 4 hours*, and up to 167 minutes when shooting in environments with temperatures as low as -20° C (-4° F).**

^{* Measured under laboratory conditions at 25° C (77° F), while recording 1080p/24fps (16:9) video, with RockSteady on, Wi-Fi off, and screens off. Data was collected in a controlled environment and should be taken as reference only. Actual battery life may vary when activating and using Osmo Action 6 in the European Union and UK, due to local regulations regarding operating temperature of the product.

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.

With the Osmo Action GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller, you can record GPS information and add sports data to your video in the DJI Mimo app.

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.

No, the lens cannot be changed. However, you can replace the Glass Lens Cover to fit an Osmo Action 6 Macro Lens or Osmo Action 6 FOV Boost Lens*.

^{* Osmo Action 6 Standard Combo does not include Osmo Action 6 Macro Lens and Osmo Action 6 FOV Boost Lens, which are sold separately.}

2. To clean water stains, oil smudges, or fingerprints on the lens, apply a few drops of lens cleaning solution on lens tissues and use a circular motion to wipe away.

Osmo Action 6 is dust-proof. However, if dust does get inside the device and cannot be cleaned, please contact DJI After-Sales for repair.

It is not recommended to operate the camera with an external power source, such as a power bank, without a battery installed. To ensure recording stability and optimal device performance, please keep the battery in the camera when connecting it to a power bank.

Yes. When diving with the camera without a case to depths exceeding approximately 14 meters*, the shutter/record button is disabled automatically due to high water pressure. You can then use the Quick Switch (QS) button on the side of the camera to take photos, start/stop recording, or switch modes. After you return to the surface and the water pressure on the top button is released, follow the on-screen prompts to enable the shutter/record button and resume using the top button for photos and recording.
