Burst, AEB (Bracketed) and Timelapse Modes

Moleyb · Apr 26, 2015

Hi Everyone,

I'm not sure if everyone knows about this or not, but I thought I would share something I found in the Pilot App which isn't very well documented by DJI. Basically there are a few extra photo modes which could be useful for people.

To access these different modes, whilst in photo mode, hold down the big shutter/record button for 3 seconds. This then opens a circular menu for other photo options.

- First is the standard single shot photo.
- Second is burst mode (you have the option to set 3, 5 or 7 burst photos).
- Third is AEB (Automatic Exposure Bracketing with option for 3 or 5 shots).
- And finally, time-lapse (5s, 7s, 10s, 20s and 30s).

I only got round to checking this after updating to the latest version of the firmware, however, I've got a feeling it might have been available all along?

Haven't had time to play with these yet, but would love to see peoples experiments.

All the best,

Ah ok, fair enough. Thought it might be worth sharing though. Seen quite a few people asking online without any answers. Its a cool feature, would have been nice of them to document it better!

Great post. I remember finding this by accident. I'm sure there's lots of people who wouldn't be aware of this feature.
Thanks for sharing.

had no idea it existed,
i wonder if it will cause app drops on burst mode, I have had the app freeze twice when taking photos in quick succession .

tomorrow i will do some test using time lapse 5s at 90° and drawing a route to make a orthophoto in Pix4D

m00se · May 12, 2015

i cant see the ortho being particularly good if taken with the inspire. The camera is just not good enough. I will be interested to know what pix makes of it though....

this ortho was made with just 9 photos, was a really quick test

PS: it is a geotiff but i cant upload here in that format so i made a jpg just for showing you the first test

i think we can open a new thread to not go off topic on this one, can some moderator split this?

tuxevil · May 12, 2015

Not with my X5, I have to go thru the Camera Menu >Photo> Then choose the shooting mode.
