DJI Mavic 4 Pro is C2 certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

No. Avoid contact with water during use, as it may damage the device.
If it rains during the flight, return and land as soon as possible, and wait until the aircraft is fully dry inside and out before using it again.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro can only be used with the DJI Fly app. You can download the latest version of DJI Fly from the DJI Mavic 4 Pro Downloads page on the official DJI website.

^{If you use DJI RC Pro 2 or DJI RC 2 as the remote controller, it comes with the pre-installed DJI Fly app.}

1. Dirt and debris can lead to false obstacle detection. Keep the forward-facing LiDAR clean to ensure accurate obstacle sensing.
2. The LiDAR works automatically in moderately lit environments, but it will not function properly in bright light. Pay attention to ambient light conditions to maintain safe flight operations.

1. Enhanced Nighttime Obstacle Sensing: Even in extremely dark conditions where the ambient light is less than 0.1 lux and the vision sensing system becomes ineffective, the forward-facing LiDAR can still provide forward obstacle sensing for the drone. This ensures that the drone can detect obstacles and perform timely stops at night.
2. Safer Nighttime RTH: During nighttime return-to-home operations, if the vision sensing system is ineffective, the drone can use the forward-facing LiDAR to sense forward obstacles and navigate upwards to avoid them*, making the return flight safer.

^{* If the drone reaches its altitude limit while ascending around obstacles, it will hover at that height.}

The Infinity Gimbal offers a wider roll range and greater upward-tilt angle, allowing smooth, multi-angle camera movement. However, vertical shooting is still limited in terms of gimbal angle and motion speed due to mechanical constraints.

To strike a balance between aircraft size and weight, yaw-axis travel is limited to ±22°, which narrows the gimbal's tilt range in vertical mode. This reduces the aircraft's maximum acceleration and speed and extends its braking distance. If you need to extend the gimbal's tilt range while shooting vertically, you can enable "Tilt Angle Expansion in Portrait" (note that the gimbal may reach its limit during sudden starts or stops, which may cause image jitter). For an even wider pitch range in vertical shooting, it is recommended to use 2.7K vertical shooting.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro defaults to HDR mode in most shooting specifcations.

However, HDR is not supported in the following settings:

1. Photo:
28mm Main Camera: 100MP
70mm Medium Tele Camera: 48MP
168mm Tele Camera: 50MP

2. Video:
28mm Main Camera: Slow Motion
70mm Medium Tele Camera: Slow Motion, 2.7K Vertical Shooting (48-60fps)
168mm Tele Camera: Slow Motion, 2.7K Vertical Shooting (48-60fps)

In most shooting specifcations, the image sensor uses the Dual Native ISO Fusion algorithm to blend the signals from two analog gain circuits, delivering an enhanced dynamic range.

However, Dual Native ISO Fusion is not supported in the following settings:

1. Photo:
28mm Main Camera: 100MP
70mm Medium Tele Camera: 48MP
168mm Tele Camera: 50MP

2. Video:
28mm Main Camera: Slow Motion
70mm Medium Tele Camera: Slow Motion, 2.7K Vertical Shooting (48-60fps)
168mm Tele Camera: Slow Motion, 2.7K Vertical Shooting (48-60fps)

In these modes, when filming in Normal, D-Log M, or HLG color profiles, the dual native ISO values are 100 and 400. When the ISO is below 400, the low-gain analog circuit is used. When the ISO is above 400, the high-gain analog circuit is used.
When filming in the D-Log color profile, the dual native ISO values are 400 and 1600. When the ISO is below 1600, the low-gain analog circuit is used. When the ISO is above 1600, the high-gain analog circuit is used.

If you experience playback or editing compatibility issues on macOS, try the following solutions:

1. If your macOS version is lower than 14.7.5, please upgrade your system to version 14.7.5 and try again.
2. If your macOS version is 15 or later and you are unable to decode video properly, try disabling hardware decoding acceleration in your playback or editing software settings. For software like Final Cut Pro that does not allow disabling hardware decoding, consider transcoding your footage before importing it for editing.

Dynamic Range Expansion is a built-in image processing algorithm on Mavic 4 Pro that preserves highlight details without sacrificing shadow brightness, delivering a wider dynamic range.
This feature is automatically enabled in all photo and video modes (except D-Log) on all three cameras when ISO is set to Auto. Setting ISO to Manual will disable the feature.
Additionally, when the shutter is set to Auto, Dynamic Range Expansion performs especially well in bright outdoor conditions.
