4.  Tap the shutter/record button to begin. Move the tilt stick and roll stick to control the horizontal ight 
speed and move the aircraft parallel. Move the throttle stick to control the vertical ight speed. 
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 and the lens direction.
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. In the camera 
settings, users can select to save the footage in JPEG or RAW format and to store the footage in the 
built-in storage or the microSD card.
Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems 4.0
The Advanced Pilot  Assistance Systems  4.0 (APAS  4.0) feature is available  in Normal  mode. When 
APAS is enabled, the aircraft continues to respond to user commands and plans its path according to 
both control stick  inputs and the ight environment. APAS  makes it easier to avoid obstacles,  obtain 
smoother footage, and gives a better ying experience.
Keep moving the pitch stick forward or backward. The aircraft will avoid the obstacles by ying above, 
below, or to the left or right of the obstacle. 
When APAS is enabled, the aircraft can be brought to a stop by pressing the Flight Pause button  on 
the remote controller or tapping Stop on the screen in DJI Fly. The aircraft hovers for three seconds and 
awaits further pilot commands.
To enable APAS, open DJI Fly, enter System Settings, then Safety, and enable APAS.
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.
The aircraft brakes and hovers in place if an obstacle is detected during Hyperlapse. Note that 
obstacles cannot be detected on either side of the aircraft.
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.
