How do I switch between P mode and A mode? What mode should I use if I want to use the camera options like shallow focus and panorama?

Are you referring to p-gps mode and atti mode?...if yes you can't switch between them.

Camera options are under manual settings in cam menu...

If you mean "P" and "A" modes as traditionally found in still cameras (on the "PASM" selector switch or otherwise), please keep in mind the Spark's camera doesn't have physical variable aperture. It's more like a smartphone camera, with an "Auto" mode, "Auto with some user tweaks possible" and various panorama modes. While I'm not 100% sure there's any "shallow depth-of-focus" type mode available (not at home right now), if there is, it's purely software-simulated as there's simply no aperture to open wider or "stop down". That's also the reason behind the popularity of ND filters with this type of consumer drones as, in the absence of variable aperture, they enable you to let less light in and help you achieve these "cinematic effect" shutter speeds.

Ok, thanks for the help

I completely mismatched....dammned acronyms ...  anyway shallowfocus is simulated with the drone going up and down instead of the aperture. That's just what I can add.

Hi, sir. Please note that you can only set camera in A or M mode. And you can change the camera setting before enter panorama mode. Thanks for your help.
