1. Tap the icon or swipe left or right on the screen to enter the mode switch page. 2. Swipe to select a shooting mode.

Slow-motion videos do not include audio.  The audio file is stored as a standalone file and has the same path as the video file, which can be transferred to your computer. 3. Tap the selected shooting mode or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to return to the liveview.

Various parameters can be set in different shooting modes. Refer to the actual interface.

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to set the parameters for each shooting mode.

In video mode, tap the upper left corner to enable Pre-Rec or Loop Recording. Tap the upper right corner to set the EIS mode and Field of view (FOV).

Pre-Rec: When enabled, the camera will pre-record footage within the set time duration. Once the shutter/record button is pressed, the camera will save the latest pre-recorded footage before pressing the shutter/record button and keep recording, then save the footage as a whole video. This

function allows the camera to save the footage before pressing the shutter/ record button to avoid taking up too much storage space, helping capture highlights (especially for fishing).

Loop Recording: When enabled, the camera records a video by overwriting older footage with new footage at selected time intervals. This function allows the camera to save storage space, and is suitable for use in scenes where the user is waiting to capture unanticipated highlights (such as when driving). Aspect Ratio: The default setting is Auto, but it can also be set to Custom. This setting allows you to capture 4K videos and crop the videos to ratios like 16:9 or 9:16 in post-editing, fitting different media platforms.

• EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) mode:

◆ Off: Records the video with the largest FOV. RockSteady: stabilizing footage while retaining the dynamics of movement, which is suitable for first-person perspective shooting. RockSteady+: Compared with RockSteady, the edges of these images will be reduced slightly to obtain a stronger stabilization performance. HorizonBalancing: This mode reduces the shaking of images within \pm45° horizontally, while preserving high-resolution image quality. HorizonSteady: Eliminates roll axis jitters within 360° . It ensures that the image remains level and stable even in scenarios involving intense bumps or turns.

To record videos with Gyro data, disable EIS Mode and set the camera FOV to Wide.

Once you have set the parameters, swipe down from the top of the screen to return to the liveview.

• The product can be used underwater at depths of up to { 2 0 } m
When used with the Osmo Action 6 Waterproof Case, the product can be operated underwater up to 60 m deep.

Observe the following precautions before using the product in water.

1. Make sure the battery and battery compartment are dry and clean before inserting the battery. Otherwise, it may affect the battery contact and waterproofing ability. Make sure the battery compartment cover is firmly fastened after the battery is inserted. Note that the red marks should not be visible after the cover is properly fastened. 2. Make sure the USB-C port cover, and lens protective cover are firmly mounted and fastened, and that the waterproof seal is clean. Otherwise, it will affect the device waterproofing ability. All the holes on the product use a built-in waterproof material. DO NOT poke the holes. 3. Check if the lens protective cover is in good condition. If damaged, replace it immediately. Make sure the lens protective cover and lens are dry and clean. Sharp or hard objects may damage the lens and affect the ability of the camera. Make sure that

the lens protective cover is firmly mounted and the rubber ring at the base of the lens is not detached.

4. The product is NOT waterproof when used with Osmo Action 6 Macro Lens.

Observe the following precautions when using the product in water.

1. Avoid jumping into water at high speed with the product. Otherwise, the impact may result in water seepage. 2. DO NOT use the product in hot springs, corrosive liquids, or extreme underwater environments.

Observe the following precautions after using the product in water.

1. Rinse the camera with tap water after using it underwater. Allow it to dry naturally before using again. Wipe the surface of the camera with a soft and dry cloth. 2. DO NOT dry the camera with hot air using a hair dryer, otherwise the microphone membrane and the built-in breathable membrane will rupture, and the camera will no longer be waterproof. 3. After using the camera in water, open the battery compartment cover facing downward to prevent water from entering the gaps in the battery compartment if you need to replace the battery. Wipe off any water droplets in the gaps of the battery compartment and clean the red waterproof rubber ring to prevent any foreign objects from remaining. Otherwise, it will affect the waterproof performance during subsequent use. 4. When changing the lens protective cover, make sure the camera is dry. After using the camera in water, let it dry before using it again. This will prevent water from seeping into the lens protective cover, allowing for the lens to fog up.

Observe the following precautions when using the product with the waterproof case:

1. Make sure the rubber seal is clean and firmly secured during use. 2. Make sure the waterproof case is dry (for best results, place an anti-fog fiber in the case during use) and that the latch is secure. 3. Before use, it is recommended to place the waterproof case underwater for approximately 5 minutes to ensure it is working properly. 4. Rinse the case with tap water to prevent corrosion after using it in the sea.

• The touchscreens can be used when the surface is wet.
The touchscreens do not function when fully submerged underwater. Users can press the camera buttons to start recording. The Shutter/Record button is

disabled automatically when the camera is used without a waterproof case at a depth of more than 1 4 m .

1. DO NOT use non-official batteries. DJI takes no responsibility for any damage caused by non-official batteries. 2. Use the battery within the temperature range specified at https://www.dji.com/osmoaction-6/specs. Use of the battery in a high-temperature environment can lead to a fire or explosion. Before using the battery in a low-temperature environment, it is recommended to charge the battery fully in a normal temperature environment. Charging the battery at the ideal temperature can prolong battery life. 3. Discharge and charge the battery completely once every three months to keep it in good condition. 4. The battery is designed to stop charging when it is fully charged. It is good practice to monitor the charging progress and disconnect the charger when battery is fully charged. 5. When the battery voltage is too low, the battery will enter low-power state. Charging the battery will exit low-power mode. 6. DO NOT store the battery for an extended period of time after fully discharging. Otherwise, the battery may over-discharge and cause irreparable damage to the battery cell. 7. Discharge the battery to 4 0 – 6 5% if it will not be used for 10 days or more. This can greatly extend the battery life.

1. DO NOT spill any liquids containing alcohol or cleansing solution on the camera. 2. If the holes of the microphone, heat dissipation slots, or other parts of the camera are blocked by sand or other foreign matter, rinse with fresh water while the camera is in a sealed waterproof state. 3. Clean the lens protective cover with water or a lens cleaning pen, lens air blower, or lens cleaning cloth. DO NOT remove the lens protective cover frequently to avoid dust accumulating inside the lens cover, which can affect shooting quality. 4. Clean the lens with a lens cleaning pen, lens air blower, or lens cleaning cloth. 5. Clean the battery and battery compartment with a clean, dry cloth.

6. Make sure the quick-release slots on the camera are clear of dust and sand when attaching the Quick-Release Adapter Mount.
