Please prevent the drone defaulting all my custom photo and video settings when going in and out of Active-track mode

This has to be the only real gripe I have with the P4P so far

Cheers!

You should check all of your settings after an update, as some of them return to default.

No, this happens after selecting 'Active-track' mode

I have never used that so, I couldn't say that is or is not the norm.

Have you asked Ty?

Maybe you should try it then...

I'll give it a go next time out

If that is the norm, it really should not be. If switching flight modes clears your custom settings in other modes, that is a poor design.

What is happening is the drone is (probably quite rightly) switching into full auto-mode on the camera for the Active-track function, this then allows the camera to easily pick up and track the subject, but sadly when going back into normal non-Active-track mode, those auto settings are remaining

Which means if you do use Active-track in a session you have labouriously re-set all your settings again, RAW, 4K60fps, manual mode etc etc, before you can continue, which wastes a lot of time in the air, or if you forget... a folder full of JPGs

Really needs to be fixed IMO

Yup, it is a bug that has been there since the release of the P4P. I don't know what is taking DJI so long to fix it. The video changes to 4k 30 even though 1080P 60 was slelected, for example. The work around is change the setting back manually after active track changed it.

Thanks for that input, but can we please remain on topic?
