Hi all... new pilot here.
I'm from Denmark and just got the Mavic Pro FMC a few days ago.

The front LED's used to be glowing bright red when i started the drone, but somehow i've managed to turn them off. The problem is turning them on again.

I've looked at instructional videos, and really tried to get to know the Mavic Pro. I have the newest app (DJI GO4) and newest software on the drone and the controller, but i can't seem to find a way to manually turn them back on. My son and I, found an option to automatically turn them off, when recording or taking pictures, but even when disabling that function, it doesn't turn back on.

In the video, which was from a year ago, the guy shows where the button to manually turn on/off the front LED's is, but that button is not present in the current version of DJI GO4 app, and I'm at a loss, having looked through all of the menus several times.

Link to video:
Can anyone help me please?

Not if you've updated the app as I've done it.

I suppose it is a Man thing to not read the manual.

I haven't looked but you have to have both connected to see all the options in the app.

Same version at this end, but I don't have the option where you point it should still be. Wondering if there is a difference in behavior of the app, whether it's is installed on iOS or Android. I'm using Android v. 7.0

Maybe that is the difference. I have iPhone.

I have the same issue. The firmware version I have does not have the option. According to DJI I have the latest update installed. If I can program C1 and C2 for that will it interfere with the forward flight mode? I have been going back and forth for 2 weeks with Carol at DJI support via email and she can only tell me the "We need to coordinate this with our engineers to give you the best response." Seems to be a generic robotic answer to most of the issues that I have seen posted in alot of the forums I follow. Dont mean to sound off on/to you but my frustration gauge is at redline. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
