Igeekphone News, November 7th: The source @D2Help posted a tweet on the X platform yesterday (November 6th), sharing two photos showcasing the new DJI Action camera Osmo Action 6. It will be the successor to Osmo Action 4 and Osmo Action 5 Pro.
IGEEKPHONE previously reported that DJI has officially announced that it will release a new product at 20:00 on November 13th. The promotional slogan is “Fleeting Light in a Small Space”. In the preheating video, a camera with a variable aperture appeared. Combined with previous leaks, the new product is very likely to be the Osmo Action 6 action camera.
According to the currently exposed information, the most notable innovation of the Osmo Action 6 is that it is equipped with an f/2.0-f/4.0 variable aperture lens with an equivalent focal length of 16mm, allowing users to flexibly control the depth of field in different lighting conditions and achieve seamless switching from creative bokeh to sharp images.
This action camera is equipped with a 1/1.1-inch stacked CMOS sensor jointly developed with SONY, with a size close to 1 inch. Compared with the 1/1.3-inch sensor of the previous generation Action 5 Pro, its light-sensitive area has increased by nearly 40%, which means stronger low-light shooting ability and a dynamic range of more than 13 stops.
The video capability has reached a new height, supporting the recording of 8K / 30fps videos with HDR and ProRes encoding. It also supports multiple high frame rate formats such as 5.3K / 60fps and 4K / 120fps, making it easy to capture the wonderful moments of high-speed movement.
Battery life and durability are another major highlight of this upgrade. The Action 6 is equipped with a large-capacity 1950mAh battery, providing a full charge of 4 hours of battery life, which is sufficient to meet the needs of long-term shooting such as marathons.
Action 6 will have an IP68 protection rating and a water resistance depth of up to 20 meters without a case. To enhance the anti-shake effect, the new product is also equipped with RockSteady 4.0 electronic anti-shake technology that combines a new image processing engine. Meanwhile, the body has 64GB of built-in storage space and supports modern connection standards such as microSD card expansion, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
