“Single”.
Pano
Selecting the “Panorama” mode opens three options:
360°°
180°H
180°V
The generation of a panorama, regardless of its format, implies three phases:
- collecting the pictures, in flight;
- downloading the pictures from to your device;
- stitching the pictures together to create the panorama, on your device,
through the gallery of FreeFlight 6 or for a Panorama image generation
software.

PRO IMAGING SETTING
This section is designed to help you exploit manual settings and develop your filming
and photography styles.
Shutter
Shutter speed (s)
The “s” value refers to the time, in fraction of second, when the shutter stays open
to capture a still picture: it is called exposure time.
In Auto mode, selects the best shutter speed and ISO value couple, in real time,
depending on the scene and available light. In consequence, selecting a shutter
speed also deactivates the Auto ISO mode.
ISO
The ISO value refers to the sensitivity of the sensor. As we have seen, it is linked to the
shutter speed value: both sliders activate when you deactivate the “Auto” mode
and set a value for one, or for the other.
HDR
Enable/disable HDR.
When this option has been selected, on the HUD is displayed HDR logo. HDR is
available for 4K UHD, 2.7K and 1080p videos and JPEG photos only.
26
CAMERA
Lossless zoom only
NO / YES (selecting “YES” blocks zoom in JPEG RECT).
STYLE
Selecting the “Style” mode opens four options:
Natural
P-Log
Pastel
Intense
Natural
The Natural Style is the default Style: it respects nature’s colors and tones.
P-Log
One alternative Style to Natural looking images (default value) can be selected for
both in the video mode, and in the photo mode. This alternative Style is called “P-
LOG”. It makes images a little less contrasted: P-LOG style is ideal for videos you want
to edit and process using professional grading tools and filters.
Pastel
Another alternative Style to Natural looking images (default value) can be selected
for both in the video mode, and in the photo mode. It is called “Pastel”. It makes
images less saturated, but it brings out their warmest tones
Intense
Another alternative Style to Natural looking images (default value) can be selected
for both in the video mode, and in the photo mode. It is called “Intense”. It makes
images more saturated and contrasted.
Anti-flickering
Anti-flickering: this setting and the associated technology aim at eliminating the
flicker effect which can arise due to some artificial lights. The “AUTO” option should
work for most users, but depending on your country, you can try other settings if you
feel bothered by a flicker effect on your device’s screen, your artificial light videos,
or both.

both the issue is fixed and the device is restarted.
Communication error.
Communication with the gimbal is broken due to some unknown software and/or
hardware issue.
It means that the gimbal is currently inoperable.
The device will retry stabilization regularly; after several failed attempts, it will
escalate the current error to critical level, at which point the gimbal becomes
inoperable until both the issue is fixed and the device is restarted.
Overload error.
May happen during normal operation of the gimbal.
32
It means that the gimbal is currently inoperable and suggest to verify that nothing
