I'm a proud owner if a 2 day old spark. During my 1st flight the front LED lights were red which helped with orientation.
Upon the 2nd flight, they no longer light up. I searched this issue and it appears others have had the same issue but were able to resolve it. All the firmware is up to date. I've tried switching from video and camera mode. Also there is no setting for it as some have shown in photos. Under advanced settings my only option is sensor state.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app with no luck.
I'm at a loss.. Any ideas?

When the Spark is set to recording video, the front red LEDs are turned off so they don't interfere with the footage.

Yep. DMX_MT is correct. No red lights when recording video. It seems you have no actual issue.

Few weeks ago mine were also permanent off (also if not recording). They worked normal again after a factory reset by the DJI Assistant 2.

Thanks for the replies,however I did mention that I've tried switching it from video to camera (not recording) without any luck.

I'll give this a shot.

According to the app, all the firmware has been updated. I'm not sure what the assistant 2 is, figured I'd give it a shot.

DJI Assistant 2 is a Program to Install on the PC / Apple Computer to update Firmware etc...
