I'm talking about the smart controller, there is no phone.
The "Cache to SD Card" option is shown further up:

Okay, did not see any mention it was a smart Controller

This here is the Smart Controller Forum

Yes I know, it meant ones you switch on all the video/pictures will be saved in the SD card

I guess most of the DJI admins should be able to read/speak Chinese.

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. This option means "Original pictures download to external SD card". No worries, this concern will be optimized in the near future. Thank you for understanding.

Meny menu options on the smart controller still in Chinese....

Download original footage to external SD card - (toggle on/off) - If enabled, you can save the original photos and videos  to external SD card (quick shot doesn't support saving to external SD card) The current save path : /storage/emulated/0/DJI/dji.go.v4/DJI Album/
