DJI's next action camera has an adjustable aperture for better low-light performance

"The camera is not a radical departure from the physical design of last year's model, but DJI is introducing some innovative new functionality. For example, it features an adjustable aperture that uses a mechanical iris (rather than relying on software tricks) and a larger square format sensor that offers more flexibility when you want to crop footage to various horizontal and vertical aspect ratios."

"As with many of DJI's launches over the past year, including the recent Neo 2 selfie drone, the company hasn't confirmed if or when the Osmo Action 6 will be available in the US. Chinese pricing starts at 2,998 yuan, or around $422. In Europe it starts at €379, in the UK it's £329, and in Japan it's ¥61,270, or around $396."

"Last year's Osmo Action 5 Pro, like action cameras from DJI's competitors such as the GoPro Hero 13 Black, used an aperture fixed to f/2.8."

DJI announced a global release of the Osmo Action 6 action camera, with the United States excluded from the initial rollout. The camera keeps a similar physical design to the previous model while adding hardware upgrades such as an adjustable aperture that uses a mechanical iris and a larger square-format 4K sensor that improves flexibility for cropping to horizontal and vertical aspect ratios. Pricing begins at 2,998 yuan (~$422) in China, €379 in Europe, £329 in the UK, and ¥61,270 (~$396) in Japan. US availability timing remains unconfirmed.
