Unlike quick shot, master shots and
0:02
hyperlapse, the intelligent modes of
0:05
focus track don't appear in the photo
0:07
video menu.
0:09
To access spotlight with a static
0:11
target, such as a building or a
0:13
landmark, simply draw a box around it.
0:17
A small window in the lower part of the
0:19
screen present a choice amongst the
0:21
three modes at the track, spotlight, and
0:24
point of interest.
0:27
Spotlight is the default one. So we are
0:30
ready to go.
0:32
The camera will lock on the target
0:33
defined by green brackets.
0:36
We can move the aircraft in any
0:38
direction and the target will remain in
0:40
the same position in the frame. In other
0:42
words, the orientation of the camera is
0:44
no longer connected to the flight
0:46
direction.
0:49
Once the target is selected, the focus
0:51
track icon on the left part of the
0:53
screen turns to yellow, indicating that
0:55
we are now in one of the three focus
0:57
track modes.
1:01
In previous DJI lightweight models like
1:03
the Mini4 Pro and the Flip, to select
1:06
targets like people or vehicles, we had
1:08
to activate subject scanning in the
1:11
control tab of the settings.
1:16
The procedure has been simplified in the
1:18
Mini 5 Pro. When the act track icon is
1:21
active, the app recognize people and
1:23
vele and displays a plus sign over them.
1:27
Simply tap on the plus icon to select
1:30
one of them as a target.
1:33
Selecting fastmoving targets is much
1:35
easier with the Mini 5 Pro compared to
1:37
previous models.
1:39
To access spotlight mode, tap on the
1:41
focus track icon on the left, which will
1:44
turn from yellow to white to indicate
1:46
that we're back to normal video mode. An
1:49
alternative way is to tap on the green X
1:52
near the target.
1:57
Spotlight mode can be applied to footage
1:58
taken in portrait mode which is handy
2:01
for users involved in social media.
2:10
It can be used in the 48 mm metal mode
2:14
to apply a two times zoom with a quality
2:16
close to a true optical lens
2:21
achieving an astonishing parallax
2:23
effect.
2:38
It also works with a continuous gimbal
2:40
rotation for creative moves.
2:50
In spotlight mode, most of the video
2:52
settings are available. It is possible
2:54
to use manual or auto exposure and white
2:57
balance.
2:59
The resolution can be set to 1080p or 4K
3:02
with frame rates up to 60 frames per
3:04
second.
3:07
It is also possible to use it with the
3:09
video slow motion mode with a frame rate
3:11
of 120 frame per second for extreme
3:15
slow-mo.
3:18
The three video color profiles can be
3:20
used normal, dlog, m and hlg.
