Circle
The aircraft automatically takes photos while ying around the selected subject to generate a timelapse
video. Follow the steps below to use Circle:
1. Set the interval time, video duration, and max speed. Circle can be selected to travel in either a
clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The screen displays the number of photos that will be
taken and how long the shooting time will be.
2. Select a subject on the screen. Use the pan stick and gimbal dial to adjust the frame.
3. Tap the shutter/record button to begin.
Course Lock
Course Lock can be used in two ways. In the rst way, the orientation of the aircraft is xed, but a
subject cannot be selected. In the second way, the orientation of the aircraft is xed and the aircraft ies
around a selected object. Follow the steps below to use Course Lock:
1. Set the interval time, video duration, and max speed. The screen displays the number of photos that
will be taken and how long the shooting time will be.
2. Set a ight direction.
3. If applicable, select a subject. Use the gimbal dial and pan stick to adjust the frame.
4. Tap the shutter/record button to begin.
Waypoints
The aircraft automatically takes photos on a flight path of two to five waypoints and generates a
timelapse video. The aircraft can y in order from waypoint 1 to 5 or 5 to 1. Follow the steps below to
use Waypoints.
1. Set the desired waypoints.
2. Set the interval time, video duration, and max speed. The screen displays the number of photos that
will be taken and how long the shooting time will be.
3. Tap the shutter button to begin.
The aircraft will generate a timelapse video automatically, which is viewable in playback. Users can
select Output Quality and Photo Type in System Settings-Camera page in DJI Fly. Mavic 3 supports the
fast compositing function of Hyperlapse. Select "Preview" in the output quality. Mavic 3 will not perform
stabilization and brightness smoothing but will only synthesize the eect preview lm, which can save
the compositing time. Users can synthesize the original lm into a high-quality lm later.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to use Hyperlapse at an altitude higher than 50 m and
to set a dierence of at least two seconds between the interval time and shutter.
It is recommended to select a static subject (e.g., high-rise buildings, mountainous terrain) at a safe
distance from the aircraft (farther than 15 m). Do not select a subject that is too near the aircraft.
When the lighting is sucient and the environment is suitable for vision systems, the aircraft brakes
and hovers in place if an obstacle is detected during Hyperlapse. If the lighting becomes insucient
or the environment is not suitable for vision systems during Hyperlapse, the aircraft will continue to
shoot without obstacle avoidance. Fly with caution.
The aircraft only generates a video if it has taken at least 25 photos, which is the amount required
to generate a one second video. The video is generated when a user command is received from the
remote controller or if the mode is exited unexpectedly such as when Low Battery RTH is triggered.
