Drone Camera and Flight Mode Settings

Camera Control and Settings

• Wide camera view can be accessed by clicking the wide button on the green box
• Zoom camera view can be accessed by clicking the zoom button on the green box
• Gimbal control buttons: pitch down, recenter, and pinpoint feature to record a location of a particular object
• Pinpoint feature allows easy sharing of location information with incident command

Flight Mode and Telemetry

• Flight modes: normal, attitude, and sport mode
• Telemetry display: RC connection to the drone, drone's battery voltage (aggregate), and number of satellites
• 3.6 volt rule: drone's battery voltage should not drop below 3.6 volts per cell, or 14.4 volts for a 4-cell battery, to ensure safe flight home

Camera Settings

• Exposure settings: ISO, shutter, EV, AE (automatic exposure)
• Focus settings: autofocus continuous, spot, AFC (autofocus continuous), AF (autofocus), and manual focus
• Camera control: manual, shutter priority, and aperture control
• Storage display: available space on the SD card

Camera and Gimbal Settings

• Camera settings: image ratio (4x3), image format (JPEG, RAW, or JPEG+RAW)
• Gimbal settings: lock gimbal while shooting (useful for mapping), mechanical shutter, and dewarping
• Dewarping: crops in and dewarps images, useful for mapping
• Frame arm LEDs: automatically turn off during shooting

Organizing Media

• Create a new folder for each mission type (e.g., mapping, orbits, progression) to organize media
• Media is automatically sorted into folders based on the mission type

Camera Control and Settings
