DJI Mini 5 Pro Settings - Camera Tab

Most functionality for photography are

located in the camera tab. The first

option is the file format. We can choose

to save the photos in JPEG, RAW or both

formats.

Then we can select the size of the

image. With 4x3, we get the full

resolution of the sensor 4032x

3024 pixels, slightly more than 12

megapixel.

If we choose 16x9, we get a cropped

version to fit the traditional 4K

landscape video format.

I prefer 4x3 to take advantage of the

full resolution for reframing or

cropping.

Further down, we can select the

resolution between 12 megapixel and the

50 megapixel mode. I will do a specific

video about the 50 megapixel mode with a

Mini 5 Pro as it would take too much

time to analyze it in this one.

I suggest subscribing to my channel and

hitting the notification bell to be

informed.

The next item turns the Instagram on and

off. I keep it always on as it is the

main tool I use for exposure.

To avoid overexposure, I leave some room

between the last bar to the right and

the right edge.

Picking level is a tool for focusing.

He outlines in red the element in focus,

but only when using manual focus. I only

use it when focusing manually on a

subject close to the camera, but

withdrawn on most occasion we leave it

off.

The next option, overexposure warning,

is another tool for exposure. It

overlays white stripes on the

overexposed areas. I never use it as I

find it distracting.

Further down, we can overlay grid lines.

I generally use the one in the middle to

apply the rule of thirds.

With drone, we often have the horizon

line in the frame.

Rather than having it in the middle, it

is more interesting to divide this scene

into thirds and place it either on the

upper or lower third.

On other occasions, especially for top-

down shots, we might want a symmetric

framing, in which case the same overlay

helps position the subject.

The function style to adjust sharpness

and noise reduction is not available for

photo as it is supplied only for video.

But I don't really miss it as the

program I use for editing and organizing

photos. Luminar Neo has excellent tools

for sharpness control and noise

reduction.
