Hey everyone,
I recently got my hands on the brand new DJI Osmo Action 4, and while I'm absolutely thrilled with its features, there's one rather frustrating bug that's been bothering me. I thought I'd bring it up here to see if anyone else has encountered this issue or found a workaround.
Bug Description:
When using the DJI Osmo Action 4 in webcam mode (UVC) via USB, I've noticed that there's no way to turn off the back screen. Strangely, the front screen turns off just fine as it should, but the back screen remains lit. I've experimented with various settings, including the option to turn off the screen while recording, but no luck so far.
Importance of This Feature:
The ability to turn off the back screen in webcam mode is really important. Not only does the screen drain the battery faster, but it can also be distracting when used at night or while walking down the streets. Many of us use the DJI Osmo Action 4 for IRL streaming, and having the back screen on constantly is a significant inconvenience. This is particularly true for those who take their streaming seriously and need a consistent setup that's more reliable than wireless connections to phones and then to RTMP.
Feature Request:
While addressing this bug, I'd like to suggest that DJI takes the opportunity to enhance the webcam mode even further. Currently, the webcam mode operates at 30fps, but given the capabilities of the UVC protocol and USB-C, there's no reason not to support 1080p60 as well. This would be a tremendous improvement for those of us who are looking for smoother and more professional streaming quality.
I'm hoping that by discussing this issue here, we can draw some attention to it and maybe even catch the eye of DJI's development team. Please chime in if you've encountered this bug too, or if you have any insights on how to work around it. Additionally, let's discuss the potential benefits of having a higher frame rate in the webcam mode.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
