How to Get Better Video Quality from Your DJI Osmo Action 6 (Turn This Setting ON!)

If you just picked up the new DJI Osmo Action 6, you are probably blown away by the image quality right out of the box. 🤯 But did you know there is a hidden setting that can make your footage look even better?

By default, the camera might be set to “Standard” bitrate to save space on your memory card. However, if you want the crispest, most detailed video possible, especially for fast-moving action scenes, you need to enable High Bitrate. 🚀

In my latest video, I walk you through exactly how to find this setting and turn it on in seconds. ⏱️

🤔 Why Does High Bitrate Matter?

In simple terms, Bitrate is the amount of data your camera uses to record each second of video.

  • 📉 Standard Bitrate: Compresses the video more to create smaller file sizes. This is fine for casual clips, but you might lose some detail.
  • 📈 High Bitrate: Uses less compression, preserving more data and detail. This results in larger files, but professional-looking quality with fewer artifacts.
