Video up to 4K100 is possible, in addition to 4K60 when adding HDR, and 2.7K vertical videos. The 2.4 μm pixel size is incorporated into each of the two cameras for improved low-light performance, and two color modes are available for speedier post-processing. The 10-bit D-Log M retains more highlights and details in captured footage for more flexibility when editing, and 10-bit HLG retains a higher dynamic range for excellent results without the need for color grading.

Using pre-programmed flight modes, beginners can find it easier to execute complex aerial movements and tracking shots, making their footage look much more professional with minimal effort. Professionals also benefit by applying the time they save in execution to other aspects of the shoot, or by adding additional shots. The DJI Air 3 provides four different flight modes:

 

• FocusTrack: Uses the obstacle avoidance system to stay safe, as it keeps subjects centered in the frame using the 3x telephoto camera.
• QuickShots: Select from several pre-programmed camera movements to add creativity to your video: Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Boomerang, and Asteroid.
• MasterShots: Fast and easy cinematic footage is possible with automatic complex camera movements, in addition to editing clips with music, transitions, and effects.
• Hyperlapse: Select from Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint to capture time-lapse video at up to 4K (horizontally) or 2.7K (vertically). Waypoint is new to the Air 3, letting you plan flight routes and drone actions in advance. These routes are repeatable, making it possible to achieve day-to-night or season-to-season transitions.

Built-in sensors automatically detect obstacles in any direction during flight. When an object is detected, APAS 5.0 takes over to smoothly fly around the obstacle to avoid an accident.

For pilots that want to be well equipped right out of the box, this Fly More Combo version of the Air 3 upgrades the remote controller and adds additional essential accessories when compared to the standard version. The RC-N2 remote is replaced with the RC 2, which offers a built-in 5.5″ 1080p display. You also get an Air 3 battery charging hub, two extra intelligent flight batteries, three extra pair of low-noise propellers, and a shoulder bag.
