I just noticed that my camera's neutral position appears to to a 3 - 5 degree yaw to the right.  All camera actions are smooth includig tilt etc, so there are no other issues.  Would anyone have suggestions on how I can get this back to the 0 position? (note: the P4 has had no crashes)

You can calibrate Gimbal just go to the settings
You can do this too.(A quick search)

That adjustment is for the horizontal (roll), which I am aware of.  The issue I have is the camera is yawed (pointing to) the right by 3 - 5 degrees, and not pointing strait ahead.

Try to push the gimbal gently to the left for several times when the drone is off,  then power on the drone, calibrate the gimbal, see if it works. If it is the same, please post a pic or a short video about this issue for better assistance.

Notice that my first choice is to calibrate the gimbal
Have you tried to do this?

You are kidding us right??.....  Force adjust gimbal instead of  precision controlled by app and DJI Programming?? . Sounds  like a sound procedure to me.???????????!!!!

Another thing i find  not right is that a certain gaggle 0f helpers and Admin's  (if not all)  have no FLIGHT PROGRESS on their  PROFILE, But i keep hearing and reading about all the testing by the Plethora.

Interestingly, I was about to take photo of the P4 this morning for this post and when I turned it on, all appears normal.  Suspect:  I was flying in sport mode during the last flight and no doubt the gimbal reset while airborne during a tight turn leaving a yaw at normal state.  Perhaps either a diode or capacitor had to drain power over a period of time for it to reset properly.  Maybe ?!  Thanks for the help P4Mano.

The problem seems to have resolved itself.  Thanks DJI Diana
