10-bit D-Log M color, and IP68 waterproofing. The variable aperture, a first in action cameras, allows for better handling of different lighting conditions. The camera is designed for both professional and consumer markets, providing high-quality video and photo capabilities.

The introduction of a variable aperture in action cameras marks a significant technological advancement, potentially setting a new standard in the industry. This feature allows for greater flexibility in capturing high-quality images in varying lighting conditions, appealing to both amateur and professional videographers. The Osmo Action 6's enhanced features could influence the competitive landscape of the action camera market, pushing other manufacturers to innovate. However, its unavailability in the U.S. market may limit its immediate impact on American consumers and professionals.
