When you guys do a wraparound shot,say of a building,statue etc.,do you prefer to be in course lock
or just the P setting. Just curious what you find is easier and/or smoother. Thanks

Use the Point of Interest setting.  Manual, page 52.  It will fly a circle around the point.

Normally use P mode unless a full orbit is required, then Point of Interest is good.

Another option is ActiveTrack which will also control the gimbal to keep the subject centred as you circle and adjust distance/height, the Point of Interest leaves the gimbal on manual control.

I rather perfect flying all Manuel just in case time is short. Thanks
