DJI Mini 5 Pro Med Tele Mode - Settings

To the left of the shutter, there are

two icons for the zoom level. By

default, the lower icon 1x is selected,

indicating that the camera is in full

weight. By tapping on the icon to above,

we access the 48 mm metal mode.

In this mode, we get a two time zoom

with image quality close to a true 48

optical lens.

It works by cropping the central part of

the image taking advantage of the higher

resolution of the 1 in sensor.

I find this feature extremely useful for

filming subject we cannot reach to

increase the parallax effect in scene

with elements on different layers and to

obtain better separation between a

target and the background.

The metal mode can be applied while

filming. I started recording this clip

without any zoom and hit the two times

icon after a few seconds.

It can also be used in vertical format

for users active on social media

platform.

All three color profiles are available

normal, HLG and the log M.

Metal mode also works with another major

new functionality of the Mini 5 Pro, the

rotating gimbal by using a combination

of a button and the dial of the remote

controller.

We can also access other zoom levels

from 100% to 300% by sliding the same

icon.

But in this case, it will be a simple

digital zoom with a noticeable loss of

resolution.
