With the latest firmware, the DJI Osmo Action 6 can now record 8K UHD video in up to 30fps, and it can upload footage wirelessly to cloud or NAS. Furthermore, there are new film-style tone presets, QS button customization options, focus peaking assistance feature with the macro lens, and more.

Announced roughly a month ago, the newest action camera from the Chinese tech company DJI made headlines with a unique feature in the field of action cameras – the Osmo Action 6 features a variable aperture lens (f/2.0-4.0). Now with the latest firmware, the camera received 8K video recording and other features. Let’s take a quick look at the details.

DJI Osmo Action 6 firmware update adds 8K video

The recently released firmware update version v01.02.0521 brings a few major improvements and new features. Perhaps the most eye-catching one is a new 8K video recording mode.

The image sensor used in the Osmo Action 6 is a 1/1.1″ type CMOS sensor with an effective resolution of 38MP (7168 x 5376) which is also a maximum available resolution in the stills mode. As you can see, this is not a square aspect ratio resolution and it is also not sufficient for the 7680 x 4320 (16:9 8K UHD) resolution. I suppose the Osmo Action perhaps slightly upscales the resolution to get to 8K.

Nevertheless, if you want to film a scene and crop in later in the post-production, you should get more detail than with the previously available 4K maximum resolution. The good thing is that the 8K mode (available in 24, 25, or 30fps) also supports the D-Log M 10-bit recording in H.265.

Automatic footage upload to cloud or NAS

Another quite useful feature added with the latest firmware is the wireless footage upload straight from the camera. This enables footage upload to Baidu Netdisk, Quark Netdisk, OneDrive, Google Drive, or your own NAS. You can set automatic upload of new footage or select the clips manually to be uploaded.

As always with DJI products, you can update the Osmo Action 6 camera via the DJI Mimo smartphone app (Apple App Store link, Google Play Store link). If the new update is not showing automatically in your DJI Mimo app, go to the home screen -> profile -> about and then click on the “check for firmware updates”. Make sure you have the latest version of DJI Mimo (currently v2.6.4) and that your Osmo Action 6 is connected to the phone.
