Sure! So, you can shoot in JPEG or RAW:
JPEG: Ready-to-share images, but they lose quality with editing.
DNG (RAW): These capture all data from the camera’s sensor, perfect for editing without losing quality. You’ll need software like Adobe Lightroom or Camera Raw to edit and then export to JPEG for sharing.
Congrats on the new drone! Check out YouTube tutorials. Also, keep an eye out for seagulls—they sometimes go after drones. Some people suggest red reflective tape to keep them away.
Try practicing indoors or in an empty basketball court first, then take it outside. Also, I recommend getting a sling for your controller so you can catch the drone by hand if needed. The fly more kit with extra batteries is a good investment too!
For now, stick to N mode for flying. I get the exposure thing for photos, but I’m clueless when it comes to video settings. Anyone got advice?
Amazing choice for a drone! 
Enjoy! I got the same model a month ago as my first drone and I have zero regrets. It’s awesome!
The camera settings on drones aren’t as detailed as pro cameras, but the autopilot features make it easy to get cool shots. Try out the quick shots and master shots for some great results!
Quick tip: The camera doesn’t start recording automatically. You have to press the red button to record.
Welcome to the drone club! My first drone was this model too.
Just curious: why does your new drone’s box look so beat up? It’s not just the reflection!

Box was fine; could be my camera making it look worse.
You’re gonna love it! This thing is awesome.
Everything’s on YouTube for tutorials. If you’re not doing pro work, just stick to auto mode. For pro-quality shots, you’ll need ND filters and specific setups.
Congrats! Start in an open area on C mode and take it slow. If you’re in a tight spot, just go straight up to reset—it’s safer.
Congrats on a great choice! I started with a Mini 2 SE, then moved up to the Mini 4 Pro and haven’t looked back. Look into waypoint flying—it’s super cool for automated shots. I also got DJI goggles, which take flying to the next level. Enjoy the journey!
Definitely get DJI Care!

I did, thanks!
Got one recently too! I’ve enjoyed learning with it, and here’s my second shot: Jaloliddin Mustafayev on Instagram: "Grindelvald, Shveysariya 🇨🇭 Гринделвалд, Швейцария 🇨🇭 Grindelwald, Switzerland 🇨🇭 #switzerland #mountains #grindelwald #naturephotography"
Can’t believe how far drone tech has come!
I’m thinking of getting my first drone. Should I go with this one or the Neo?

For a budget option, try the Mini 2 or 4K, then upgrade once you get the hang of it.
