Hi,

Is there a way to take photos and videos at the same time with the Mavic Pro ?
Thank you for your help.

Nope, the Mavic can't take photos and videos at the same time.

Thank you very much for your answer.
I wish it could !
So to take a photo we need to :
- stop recording the movie
- take the photo(s)
- restart recording

Note nothing is stopping you from copying whatever frame you want out of your video to use as a photo.

That's correct.

If you would like DJI to offer the ability to take RAW stills while also recording video, please says so using the DHI Go 4 app's feedback feature. If enough of us ask for the feature, maybe it will happen.

Of course but not the same quality as a jpeg nor a raw !

I just looked for the DJI GO 4 feedback feature, but didn't find it in the app. Where it is ?

It's in the DJI Support section under Me in Go 4.1.0. In some older versions of the app it was in the Feedback section under Me.

As video is 4K, you can extract good quality photos using ffmpeg or some online tool https://labstack.com/video/image
