I'd like to set a fixed shutter speed for my video & then let the drone automatically adjust ISO to compensate for changing brightness conditions. Right now I can't achieve this because in "Pro" video mode I have to manually adjust every single setting. The reason I want this is that I'm trying to achieve cinema level framerate & motion blur (the usual 24fps with 1/48 second shutter speed). With an ND filter I can usually get the lighting to an acceptable range for the frame rate & shutter speed combination, but as I fly around the environmental lighting changes significantly & the video can become too light or dark very quickly. It would be awesome if the ISO could automatically compensate for the changing light conditions (because I can't be changing ISO on the screen while also flying the drone...I only have two hands to work with). Looking forward to an update that allows this!

I like this suggestion!

Hello there TURB0LASER. Good day and thank you for sharing these information with us.  I will forward these information and this thread to the designated DJI department for further attention. All significant suggestions or requests for the DJI Mini 2 will be implemented after the evaluation of the DJI Engineers. For the latest DJI updates please stay tuned to our DJI official website at www.dji.com. Thank you for your valued support and fly safe always.

Since the Mini 2 has no variable aperture that option seems to be the best to do.

But also keep in mind that a higher ISO will produce more noise and so a more grainy picture.

Isn't this already a feature? My drone answers to environmental lighting changes during recording, with fixed aperture, fixed shutter speed and automatic iso. Even though I'm flying with another model, I'm assuming that your Mini 2 should have it too?

+1, good suggestion.

I think it is only available on Air 2S.

I can't help thinking if you're trying to achieve cinema level framerate & motion blur, the ISO jumps might feel a little jarring and spoil the effect.

Ah ok - I didn't know if ISO changed continuously (i.e. smoothly) in full auto mode, or if it had to make the jumps to the different levels I can pick from in manual mode. That makes sense not to have it automatically adjust if it can only change in huge jumps, and I wouldn't want that flicker in my footage either.

Gosh that's bad. DJI gotta add this on ALL DRONES!

On my drone it changes continuously (like from 310 to 320), I'm on an Air 2S, not sure about other drones.
