Does anyone notice when their battery gets to around 20% on the camera module (not connected to any power modules), the entire screen starts to flicker like crazy when set to 120fps/4K. I just noticed this today. It doesnt do it on any other settings. And seems to go away once the battery is topped up.

Hi thanks for the quick reply I did some additional tests. Reset the camera to factory defaults, toggle different stabilization modes. It does this every single time starting at around 50% battery no matter what I do as long as I'm under 4k 120fps recording mode. The problem starts at 20 seconds into the recording almost every time I tested. To me it seems the battery just cant handle the amount of current this mode is drawing looks to me like a typical signs of low voltage meaning the battery most likely is defective. I'm going to send it off to DJI to get repaired since I got a month left of warranty on it.

I agree I cant see DJI ever releasing a camera that would all of the sudden start flashing and flickering after 20 seconds of recording at 4K 120fps when the battery drops under 50%. Hopefully they can fix it for me.
