DJI has released a significant new firmware update for the Osmo Action 6, bringing some of the most requested features to its flagship action camera. The update unlocks 8K video recording and adds wireless upload support alongside a suite of tools and creative options that expand the camera’s capabilities for content creators.
What’s New in the Update
The latest firmware introduces several noteworthy enhancements to the Osmo Action 6:
8K Video Recording
The headline upgrade is the ability to record 8K UHD video at up to 30 frames per second—a substantial leap in resolution that gives creators more flexibility in post-production, cropping, and future-proofing footage.
Cloud and NAS Uploading
For the first time on an Action series camera, the Osmo Action 6 can upload footage directly to the cloud or network-attached storage (NAS) using Wi-Fi. This makes backing up and sharing large video files far more convenient, especially for remote workflows.
