Hi there! I was wondering how I can choose the other picture shooting modes (single shot, burst, interval, panorama, and shallow focus) during flight with DJI Spark. Whenever Spark is hovering up the air, I can only chose single shot. This is not a problem if Spark is grounded as I can select all single shot, burst, interval, panorama, and shallow focus only when it is on the ground.

That is interesting.  Don't remember this being an issue before.  I'm sure i can select which ever shot i want while my spark is in the air.  But then again, i''m having a brain fart and maybe i'm wrong.

That's weird. Have you tried to reset the camera settings, is there any error message on the app? Could you please tell me what mobile device are you using and provide me with the screenshot of this case? I would like to check more. Thank you.

I do know you can't shoot some of those camera modes in Sport Mode.  Panorama for instance you can't be in Sports mode.

Is it possible you are doing a palm launch?  If so, then your Spark will automatically be in Gesture Mode when it launches and you may not have all of the options for photos.

If this is the case, then just click the icon on the lower left to get to the screen to choose what mode you are in and choose Normal Mode.

Right on

Oh, thanks for Kloo Gee's reminding. I haven't thought of that.
For OP, please check if you are in Gesture mode, choices for changing photo mode can not be selected, only single shot.
Try to quit it out and check in normal mode.

WOW! It worked! Thank you so soooo much!

I just noticed you are Kloo Gee! I kept on viewing your youtube vids regarding Spark even before I bought it! Thank you so much for posting those awesome videos!

Looks like there is an issue with the gesture mode. Kloo Gee pointed it out that I must get out of gesture mode for it to work and it did

It's not an 'issue' with gesture control - that is the setting as the drone can only take single shot selfies in that mode. The fact you can use all other photo settings in manual mode shows there is no problem. Be mindful not to blame the drone and say there are issues with it when things 'don't work' as you develop your knowledge - in 9/10 cases it's because the pilot doesn't know or, in most cases, hasn't read the manual.

My bad. I'm so sorry
