Our take
DJI Osmo Action 6 review: the first action camera with a variable aperture
A square 1/1.1-inch sensor, an f/2.0–f/4.0 variable aperture and a 4K Custom mode that lets you crop after the fact. The Osmo Action 6 is the most interesting action camera in years.
What we like
- Variable f/2.0–f/4.0 aperture — a genuine first for the category
- Large square 1/1.1-inch sensor with real cropping flexibility
- SuperNight mode produces usable 4K/60 in poor light
- 4K Custom mode lets you reframe to any aspect ratio afterwards
What to watch
- Most expensive DJI action camera
- Square sensor benefits need an editing workflow to exploit
- Variable aperture adds a moving part to a rugged camera
- Newer, so third-party accessory support is still catching up
Quick answers
What does a variable aperture do on an action camera?
It controls how much light reaches the sensor. Action cameras have always had a fixed aperture, which forces the camera to manage bright scenes with shutter speed alone — often producing unnaturally sharp, stuttery motion. Being able to stop down to f/4.0 in bright sun, or open to f/2.0 at dusk, gives you proper control over both exposure and the look of motion.
Why a square sensor?
Because you can crop out of it in any direction without losing the edges. Shoot once, then produce a widescreen version for YouTube and a full-height vertical version for social from the same take, each properly framed. That is what the 4K Custom mode is for.
What is SuperNight mode?
A low-light mode combining the larger sensor, wider aperture and new noise reduction to deliver up to 4K/60 in conditions that would normally defeat an action camera.
