I cannot find how to fix the shutter speed and have the drone set the ISO automatically or fixing ISO.  Is this supported?  If not, please add this essential feature.

This isn't supported and hasn't been on any other DJi consumer drone as far as I know. You have Auto or full manual and that's it. Would be a nice feature.

I was just about to post a thread about this exact thing! In automatic mode, the drone drops shutter as low as 1/30, which renders the footage unusable. I would much rather have it bump the iso a bit once it reaches the 1/(2*fps) shutter instead of continuing to make it slower. I ended up shooting at 60fps just to force the shutter to not go below 1/60 and then just use the footage in 30fps timeline and drop every other frame, basically converting it into a 30fps video shot at 1/60. Still, this should be an option, shutter priority is a pretty basic functionality for cameras....

Instead of needing a faster shutter speed, I was trying to use a slower shutter speed to create the motion blur for hyperlapse.  The manual mode is not very helpful as the light situation may change significantly when changing directions.

I don't know if lacking this feature is related to the fixed aperture on MA2.  If we cannot get a perfect exposure with just one variable by fixing the other, we can probably support setting the upper/lower limit for one of the factors(ISO/shutter speed).

It might not be included in the DJI Fly app but most (probably all?) drones using the DJI Go app give you the choice of using Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or full manual control and locking the ISO setting.

Might just be on a Pro 2 as every other consumer DJI drone has a fixed aperture, you certainly don't have this control on the original MP and MA using Go 4.  The only way you can set the shutter is using manual exposure and this then forces you to set a manual ISO, what isn't there is the ability to allow ISO to remain  automatic (or even better within an upper/lower range).

You haven't heard of the Phantom 4 pro?

Hello Stephen,
any news about the ability to set a shutter speed priority and let the MA2 adjust exposure by playing with ISO ? That would be very nice as it is really missing now.
Cheers
