DJI Osmo Action 6 Leaks Reveal Variable Aperture and Larger Sensor Ahead of November Launch
Leaked details regarding DJI's upcoming Osmo Action 6 sports camera have surfaced online, highlighting significant hardware upgrades ahead of its scheduled launch on November 13. The device reportedly features a groundbreaking f/2.0–f/4.0 variable aperture lens and a 1/1.1-inch stacked CMOS sensor co-developed with Sony. This new sensor provides nearly 40% more light-sensitive area than its predecessor, enhancing low-light performance and achieving a dynamic range exceeding 13 stops. In terms of video capabilities, the camera is expected to support 8K recording at 30fps with HDR and ProRes encoding, alongside 5.3K at 60fps and 4K at 120fps. Additional specifications include a 1950mAh battery offering up to four hours of usage, IP68 water resistance rated for depths up to 20 meters, and built-in 64GB storage. Connectivity features such as Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 are also included, along with a novel smartwatch-linking function for remote control and fitness data overlay. These leaks align with DJI's recent promotional teasers hinting at a variable-aperture camera, positioning the Action 6 as the successor to the Action 4 and Action 5 Pro models.
