## Video modes

| Resolution | Frame rates | Aspect | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4K | 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60, 100, 120 | 16:9, 4:3 |  |
| 2.7K | 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60, 100, 120 | 16:9, 4:3, 9:16 |  |
| 1080p | 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60, 100, 120, 240 | 16:9, 9:16 |  |

## Stabilization

- **Off** (strength 0/3)
- **RockSteady** (strength 2/3) — Best all-round choice.
- **HorizonBalancing** (strength 2/3) — up to 60 FPS — Corrects tilt up to ±45°.
- **HorizonSteady** (strength 3/3) — up to 60 FPS — not at 4K/2.7K — crops the image — Full 360° horizon lock — 1080p up to 60 FPS only.

## Color profiles

- **Normal** — 10-bit — 10-bit finished color.
- **D-Log M** — 10-bit, log (for grading) — Flat 10-bit profile for color grading.
- **HLG** — 10-bit — HDR delivery.

## Field of view

- **Standard** — low distortion
- **Natural Wide** — medium distortion — Wide with controlled distortion.
- **Ultra Wide** — high distortion
- **Dewarp (Linear)** — low distortion — Straight lines, tighter view.

## Exposure

- ISO range: 100–25600 (recommended ceilings — bright: 400, normal: 800, low light: 6400)
- Manual shutter: yes
- Aperture: f/2.0–f/4.0
- Built-in ND: no

## Notable

- **Pre-Record** — Continuously buffers before you press record, so a surprise moment is never missed.
- **Variable Aperture** — f/2.0–f/4.0 adjustable aperture — rare on action cameras; helps control exposure in bright light.
- **DJI Mic direct link** — Pairs with DJI Mic transmitters without a receiver for clean wireless audio.
- **SuperNight mode** — Multi-frame low-light mode that noticeably cleans up night footage.
- **Square sensor vertical capture** — Shoots true vertical video without rotating the camera — full quality for TikTok/Reels.

Strengths: Class-leading stabilization; Variable aperture; True vertical capture; Direct DJI Mic audio; Strong low-light for an action camera; Waterproof without a case.
Weaknesses: Fixed focus — not for shallow depth-of-field looks; Small sensor still limits very dark scenes; Files get big fast at 4K120.

> Verification note: Newest model — re-verify resolution/FPS matrix against current firmware before critical shoots.
