Hi, just going through the settings and I see " Peak Focus Threshold".

I know I could look through the manual but I'm sure the community could explain it better for an ametur.

So, yes, as the title says??

Thank you

The Peak Focus feature adds a kind of red static-looking effect around edges to indicate focus, the Threshold setting adjusts the point at which the effect activates. Some find the feature annoying, I find it useful as a focus reality check.

Small word of caution.
When you use this feature on an Android device which is not recommended/approved by DJI be prepared that this will cause the DJI GO4 app to crash.

I just took one hour of video with Standard enabled and it didn't crash.

Then you are lucky.
My Rokitokki low budget android device crashed every single time i have used the threshold function.

Check your phone for rogue apps.  Go into settings -> Apps and force close anything that you don't need.  Also I suggest you turn on airplane mode when flying.  Also make sure the DJI app has permission to access your phone as it seems to be more unstable for me if I don't, but maybe that is just my phone.

As for memory, a 2GB device should work fine as I see the app only using about 235MB of memory when in operation.

I am still testing to find what causes the app to fail, but it seems to want to play nice when I am testing lately and not crashing.  This is why I have 1 hour of worthless video with Peak Focus on....  I was testing to figure out what makes the app crash, and I can't get it to crash lately.

Standard is not an option on IOS. Is it Normal now?

On iOS the Focus Peaking settings are High/Normal/Low/Off.
