. It's not two options. It's two ways/methods/combination of stick positions  that will achieve the same result. (Motors shutting down)

Within the various versions of DJI consumer drones, DJI created the Combination Stick Command (CSC) to both start and stop the motors. Initially, this was the only way to control the motors:
                         CSC1.png

A problem was realized with agressive flight, where the CSC could be initiated accidentially, resulting in the aircraft crashing/falling out of the air due to accidential motor stoppage. With the evolution of the GO/GO4 app, DJI introduced the landing method of motor shutdown by simply holding the throttle down, after the aircraft has landed, for three seconds, and the motors shutdown. This has become the standard way of shutting down the motors on landing. But the inflight CSC problem remained a possiblity.

So with the P4, DJI introduced an alternative control combination for emergency motor shutdown. But long time users of DJI products didn't like this methodology. So with the Mavic, DJI programmed additional intelligence into the flight controller that allows the pilot to choose how the motors can be stopped in mid-flight....

That's what you are referring to in your screenshot. Since stopping the motors in mid--flight WILL cause the aircraft to crash, if you select "For use in emergencies only", then the Mavic motors can only be stopped in mid-flight when the Mavic flight controller detects a CRITICAL error. If you select "CSC Maneuver", then you (the pilot) can deliberately stop the motors or accidently stop the motors in mid-filght with a simple CSC and it will stop the motors...

So if you want to fly agressively and not worry about accidential CSC commands, then select "For use in emergencies only", and the GO4 app will protect you. If your an old-timer and like full control as the pilot-in-command, then select "CSC Maneuver" and be carefull to not ever push the sticks to the CSC position while in flight.....

Hello, Thanks for your post, it made me learn about the possibility of using CSC. Where is that function located? Can't seem to find it on my phone.

Thanks!

Where is that function located?

If configured, the CSC is performed with the control sticks. The configuration settings are in the DJI GO4 app, under Advanced Settings and is labeled "Stop Motor Method".

Hi everyone. This thread is really helpful and clear. However I can't find the CSC setting, or stop control or anything that sound similar. I'm using DJIGo4 and  fly a M2P. Software updated today. Do I need to worry about this or is it now configured automatically?
If I need to do it manually can someone please point me to  where i would find it?
Thanks
