Besides the Mimo App, the DJI OM 4 also controls the basic camera functions of your smartphone’s native camera app with the option ofmore advanced functions, depending on the type of phone.
DJI OM 4 Intelligent Features
The DJI OM 4 has a wealth of intelligent features to help users create eye-catching content.
These shooting modes include:
ActiveTrack 3.0: Select a subject for the DJI OM 4 to automatically track and let the gimbal do the work for you. This newly-updated mode features improved distinction between subjects such as adults, children, and pets. Framing during ActiveTrack can now be adjusted by using the dedicated joystick for enhanced control.
Gesture Control: Easily start and stop video recording or take photos by using hand gestures to control the DJI OM 4.
DynamicZoom: The DJI OM 4 automatically adjusts the zoom function to create a visually appealing cinematic look; think Alfred Hitchcock's background shift.
Timelapse, Motionlapse, Hyperlapse: Show the passing of time in a sped-up form using TimeLapse. Motionlapse adds set movement points for the gimbal. Use HyperLapse to physically move with the gimbal. All three modes use Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) technology as well as the axis gimbal for an added level of smoothness.
Slow-motion: Capture stunning-looking content in 4x or 8x slow motion.
Sport Mode: The DJI OM 4 will respond and follow subjects and movements faster to add a level of action to the scene.
Panoramas: Capture a wider perspective with panoramas. Three options are available: 3X3, 240°, and a new CloneMe panorama, which allows the user to add multiple versions of a person or subject into one shot.
Spin Shot Gimbal Movement: Activated in the DJI Mimo app and using the joystick, the gimbal will rotate the phone to give a spinning effect.
Story Mode Templates: Choose from one of the preset templates to add a creative spin to your content. The DJI OM 4 uses preset movements, music and colour palates for quick videos perfect for sharing on social media.
