LiDAR Settings

Lens Profile

Tap Lens Profile to calibrate the lens, autofocus can be used after calibration.

• During camera lens calibration, it is recommended to shoot as few subjects as possible. The subject should be a person or flat surface with discernible features (such as a picture on the wall). The accuracy of the lens calibration will affect the autofocus performance.
• The lens parameters will be stored in the focus motor after calibration. Only focus motor calibration is required after choosing the lens profile. There is no need to calibrate the lens again.

Steps:

1. Set the function of the front dial for the gimbal to Focus Motor. Power on DJI RS 3 Pro, swipe up from the bottom of the touchscreen, and tap Dial Function. Scroll to select Focus Motor.
