DJI GO4 & DJI Fly camera settings

DJI GO 4 - The camera settings that consistently produce the best images

Now that we know which settings are available and how they affect the image, we can look more practically at which settings will provide the best conditions for good images in the vast majority of situations. The examples are based on a DJI Mavic 2 Pro with the DJI RC1B controller connected to an iOS device, but the same logic is applicable regardless of drone or camera.

Note that DJI Fly might look different, but the same settings shall be applied at DJI Fly as in DJI GO 4. The settings can be found at the bottom of the screen in DJI Fly.

'S' exposure program

Lets the camera automatically adjust the light/exposure but lets us lock the shutter at a value we choose manually. This allows us to force the camera to a higher shutter value and avoid 'motion blur'.

Tick in auto ISO

To achieve the correct light/exposure, we need to give the camera permission to automatically change the ISO value. We do that by ticking 'Auto'.

Set the shutter to a minimum of 1/500

To avoid 'motion blur', we should never choose a shutter value lower than 1/500. If it is very bright on a summer day, we can advantageously set the shutter to 1/1000.
