DJI Osmo Action 6 is one of the first Action Cameras to feature a variable aperture setup. It has a max aperture of F2.0 and can close it down to F4.0 to get more depth of field – to get more areas in focus. The last gen model had a fixed F2.8 aperture lens.
It features a 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor – which is larger than last years Osmo Action 5 ( 1/1.3″ CMOS ) , and offers better low light performance than it’s predecessors.
DJI has this time included a 4K Custom mode which would let you shoot 3840×3840 videos in 24/25/30/48/50/60fps. Like last year model, it also supports 4K 120fps slow mo recording.
Osmo Action 6 has the same EIS modes as the Action 5. It also uses the same battery – Li-ion 1S 1950 mAh.
