Sensor and lens

The built-in lens is a 20 mm equivalent f/2.0 unit that focuses from 0.2 m to infinity. DJI says the f/2.0 aperture gives soft bokeh for portraits.

Dynamic range is rated at up to 14 stops, and 10-bit D-Log is recorded.

Video and zoom

Normal 4K recording reaches 60fps at 3840x2160. The 100, 120, 200 and 240fps settings are Slow Motion mode only. Digital zoom is 2x for photos and 4x for 1080p, 3K and 4K video. Zoom is not available in Low Light, Slow Motion or Timelapse modes.

Controls and screen

The 5D joystick gives 8-way gimbal control. The camera has two new buttons, Zoom and Custom. The Zoom button moves between 1x, 2x and 4x: a single tap gives 1x or 2x, and a double tap gives 4x. Holding the Custom button opens custom presets. Rotating the screen starts recording.

The touchscreen measures 5.08 cm (2.0 inches) and is rotatable. The OLED panel is a 1000-nit display.

Tracking and autofocus

ActiveTrack 7.0 follows subjects at up to 4x zoom. Subject Lock Tracking and Registered Subject Priority work in Video and Photo Pro modes. ActiveTrack is not supported in Panorama, Timelapse, Motionlapse or SpinShot modes.

Focus modes are Single, Continuous, Product Showcase, Subject Lock Tracking and Registered Subject Priority. Intelligent autofocus keeps the subject sharp, and gesture control is built into the camera.

Shooting modes and audio

Shooting modes include Motionlapse, Slow Shutter Video, SpinShot and Panorama, which covers 180 degrees in a 3x3 grid. Motionlapse records 4K or 1080p at 25 or 30fps.

The camera rotates automatically between landscape and portrait. Audio uses 4-channel recording with spatial audio, and audio zoom adjusts sound as you zoom in or out.

Film tones are available. Beautify can be applied in camera, and app-based Glamour Effects support videos up to 4K/60fps. The fill light can be turned on or off from the controls.
