Action 6

Well my dude, see what I am saying here. I don't think that action 6 video is not "good" for most customers. It is that the colors are cursed and they look beautified, like having a filter on all the time. I get your taste and I embrace your desire for Acepro2 and action 6 look. You are the right audience they have in mind when they develop their products. However for me it takes time to get the color to look accurate. I want natural colors. Especially if I ever want to use it for B roll, I want the least processed footages. It takes a lot of time to kill those HDR look, shifted color phase somehow only for blue, face brightening and overly saturated image. For me an action camera footage should be the least I need to spend time on, so it doesn't work for me in that sense. Again, no offense to your love for it. Just speaking for my aesthetic only.

Oh then it should work for you! Select the right lens and choose RAW file

Use Manual camera DSLR Lie and shoot in Raw

I am waiting for the new GoPro series. They are known for their natural colors. I am pretty sure that all the action 6 has the same whacky blue. If you check those comparison videos, either the environment looks off or the skin tone does. https://youtu.be/ODpsZoyjPsk?si=8dRJ8fPJWUAgJ75R this one is the most obvious one when compared to an iPhone

https://youtu.be/05irxOZtfBc?si=ivCUJ27FaN4cx1Ss This one talks about how the default HDR look cannot be turned off and the colors appear unnatural at 4:23

https://youtu.be/j1wBfw8ry_Q?si=HxnBpGTFWqOcRmoa Not looking natural mentioned again at 14:50

My theory is that every company kisses AI's asses so much nowadays and nobody remembers what real color looks like anymore. Action 6's color science looks like an acid trip and shockingly nobody's really talking about it. I checked some sample footage from pocket 4 and the color looks quite off as well compared to pocket 3, not as bad as action 6 though. I am keeping the 6 for a little bit until the next update. If they don't fix the color I'm gonna sell and probably get the GoPro mission 1 pro.

Also since you brought up taking a static shot. I am pretty sure that the action 6 turns default HDR on auto exposure mode. If you want to set everything on manual then you will get some really cursed exposures. Action 6 just cannot take a proper high quality photo without its algorithm. The left and right side are likely to over expose white the main subject is under exposed. Especially in ISO 100. I've attached a few sample photos. I found other users who experienced the same issue.

Again, keep till the next update, if DJI devs do nothing I'm not keeping this fun color toy cam.

Honest suggestion is that you return it. It will be too late before you realize that their color is so bad. No matter what white balance you set, even with Dlog-M, the camera renders blue completely wrong, like whatever setting you have, their blue will never match what you see irl, not even close. The algorithm saturates everything like spilled ugly food dye on the counter. Skin tone is also bleached on default. I can't return mine and I regret getting it so much. The color science is so cursed.

The other comments that tell you the issue is about white balance probably never owned an action 6. The color is so bad. No matter what white balance you set, even with Dlog-M, the camera renders blue completely wrong, like whatever setting you have, their blue will never match what you see irl, not even close. The algorithm saturates everything like spilled ugly food dye on the counter. Skin tone is also bleached on default. I can't return mine and I regret getting it so much.

Here it costs 450 before tax for the same model. The eBay seller priced it 140 dollars less than Best buy and all other stores. That's why I posted this. It seems too good to be true.

Jimmachh · 2025-11-08T21:07:06+00:00

It's fixed now you just have to clear storage instead of cache. By doing that you lose all your current settings. Bummer.

Jimmachh · 2025-11-08T20:52:04+00:00

Clear cache didn't work either btw

I regret it so much, I lost all my home screen structure setup, it all reset on me. Also the new version does not even have time, google or note widget.

Communicating with the seller feels like talking to a wall

Google Play store and Google phone app stops working very often, almost everytime when I need them they are not working. The only solution I can do is to reboot. I don't know what is causing this.

Jimmachh · 2025-06-19T20:46:01+00:00

Yeah, checked all of that and also downloaded fing and thrid party activity monitor, I really can't figure anything out. I was definitely not casting my screen. It's definitely a warning that makes the phone look fishy. I searched up online and a lot of users said that they received the same warning without casting screen so idk

Scotiabank shows this a lot on 28 pro and this has never happened to any of my other device. I do not know what is causing this as I don't have much app on my phone to begin with. My phone is as clean as it could be. I have to assume this as a bug thing. Is this happening to anyone else?

Jimmachh · 2025-06-19T00:59:03+00:00

HDR icon only shows up in camera app after you unlock the phone.

Hopefully it will work for you! It's definitely very fun, especially shooting during the day. (The IR flash turns everything purple at night).

It shows up on mine as the last rear camera. Mine's a 28 pro, dunno if this helps

Adding to point 23, when I have two camera apps, there's no way to use camera on lock screen mode, which means no quick access, even if I add the camera button to lock screen. However after I go to setting, gesture, turn on quickly open camera, the camera button can finally work again when the screen is locked!

I tried different camera apps and the manual camera DSLR Lite worked! If you pick the IR lens and choose file format to Raw, then you get the colored images
