I actually just watched this video because I found a smoking deal on a brand new Mavic Pro Platinum bundle pack for my real estate shoots(it’s still fantastically relevant for that). But great video 👍🏼
I really appreciate how you're able to present so much information in such a short period of time by being concise and efficient -a rarity for RUclips how to videos. Your Mavic series is among the easiest to watch.
"I really appreciate how you're able to present so much information in such a short period of time by being concise and efficient -a rarity for RUclips how to videos. Your Mavic series is among the easiest to watch." -- I totally agree.
By far the best most informative mavic camera focus video available on RUclips!! Thank you very much bro! I'm buying mine next week and am trying to educate myself ahead of the first flight. I flew a P3 standard for a year now and cannot wait for this upgrade!!
I actually have my auto focus control set on the back right hand button of the transmitter so I don't have to touch the screen, just makes controlling my Mavic a lot easier while flying.
Flew my drone on Friday only to arrive home with blurry pics and video. Wish I saw this video beforehand. Thanks this video helped a lot....AF with 90% threshold it is.
Hi Billy. Be aware of the differences in DJIGO4 for Android and iPhone. In Android version you will not find the menu options "peak focus thresholt" and "enable hardware decodnlng". Therefore, one can not achieve the focus help you mention with the red lines on Android.
I could not get it to auto focus properly in lower light, this info should help, thanks and peak focus threshold is in the camera settings next to where you reset the camera using anddroid, they may have just added this though
Billy, would like to add one thing...notice how when in auto focus the camera will "refocus" on its own. test it, just move the Mavic around your room, it will refocus every time. this can be very troublesome during a recording, watching the scene go in and out. so, I am leaving it on manual for now, once I have it in focus, I then change it to manual. so the camera won't refocus on its own. I am hoping for a firmware update to fix this.. tell me what you think..
Just finished watching your video Billy, good info and you answered several questions I'd had. However, I'd like to offer a couple of suggestions on your presentation. First, slow your narrative down, way down. It will make the vid a bit longer but much easier to follow and give more time to process the information. Second, if you read from a script, it helps the presentation to adopt a more conversational tone rather than a hurried lecture. As an experiment, you could try redubbing the video as suggested above and observe the difference. I think you'll see a more professional presentation and perhaps like the result. Keep up the good work!
I agree, he speaks too fast and has that California style where every phrase and end of sentence has that inflection of doubt like answering a question. It sounds like "I don't know what I'm really talking ABOUT????"..."My answers are Vague and Ambiguous????"...With me, it's a make or break issue and perhaps Unsubscribe???
Hey great video. Can you do a video on how to deal with focus when filming sports or other subjects that are moving and that may or may not be coming in or out of focus?
Thanks for the information. I just got this drone and I couldn't figure out what the hell I did wrong. I thought it was good yesterday dammit. Thanks to your wisdom I'm back to good again today. Peace bruh.
Another good one - was one of my questions I have on my list as a newbie to drones and filming. What do you think about a quick video touching upon AE lock and toggling between exposure mode icon in top right?
GR8 VIDEO!!! Very Helpful, now if I can just figure out why my live feed video coming through my I phone is too blurry, even when I tap to focus or have auto focus on, Just bought drone May 3rd, 2017, I believe I may have a dud. Anyway, I enjoyed your vid.
Question..why is it that lately I get pixellation at bottom half if not whole screen on my s7 phone..will do it intermittently..it was fine few days ago..and I can see it on the recorded video..something I did?
Once you focus and in follow me mode will it stay in focus if its going over multiple terrains? I noticed I have to keep tapping it on my P4P but also have the Mavic for portability so wondering if it is different. Thanks man! Keep the good content coming!
+Kurt Lucas Hey Kurt thanks for the comment! The camera should stay in focus, I have had no issues with it. Sometimes I hear beeping at me as it is autofocusing on its own. To make things easier, I usually map one of the "C" buttons located on the back to focus so I don't have to tap on the screen all the time. Hope this helped!
Is the Peak Focus threshold directly manipulating the Depth-of-field? With 90, it seems like it has a shallow depth-of-field; whereas with 70, it has a wider depth-of-field.
You just have to show to the drone where to focus (by touching the target on your screen)and then that person or object will always be in focus even when the drone is moving. In manual focus you will have to do it manually(follow the target by touching the screen when the target is changing position)and and thats too difficult) hope that helps
Thanks Billy, very helpful. Could you make a video that explains how to put on your computer or tv from your SD card? This would really help a 72yr.old . Thanks again. Chuck.
+Chuck Dugas Hey Chuck! Thanks for the comment, the best way to get a video from your SD card to appear on the TV is by plugging it into your computer and then connecting it via an HDMI cord.
Why didn't they put an infinity focus on the camera like the previous phantoms? What is the benefit of having this system and now having to worry if you are in focus or not? Was this a limitation to the camera size?
Manual focus is good，but notice that the Mavic pro's M focus it is not that good some times，the infinity focus point is not true，when you scroll all the way down to infinity，the image will get totally blurry！I think DJI should be fix it.
Good Video! Question - (I just got my Mavic, newbie here..) When using the auto focus, you tap in the middle to auto focus the scene, right? Let's say I'm starting my flight, towards a statue... I tap the center to auto focus when I start, from several hundred feet away. As I get closer to the statue, do I have to tap the screen again, or does it keep auto-focusing on what ever is in the center of the screen?
Hi, good video! Could you please mention in the description what version and platform of DJI GO 4 and what Mavic firmware version this video is referring to. DJI has changed a lot in different versions and likely will also in future versions.
"Could you please mention in the description what version and platform of DJI GO 4 and what Mavic firmware version this video is referring to." -- We know he is using iOS but I agree we should also know what version of the app and firmware he is using.
Billy, can you please update this to includeMavic 2 pro. Really confused on afc. You say to use it but others say no because of the continuous focusing. Then I read it only does this when you stop or move the gimbals. Can you please explain this
Thanks for this, but this doesn't address the fact that some Mavics seem to have uneven focus when comparing the different sides, even when focusing dead center. Mine actually is blurry on the right, no matter what I do. Seems to be a common problem, as forums are full with other people reporting similar issues.
Hi, I noticed some red lines during 0:59 to 1:15 of the video and it eventually was gone after. I have some on my screen too, how can i remove it? Thanks in advance.
Great video Billy. I have a problem with my magic pro camera that is permanently focussed at about 15cm. I cannot get it to focus any further. I have reset camera setting and re-installed software and firmware but it makes no difference, I have the green square on screen but makes no difference when I tap it. Have tried manual focus and auto. Any ideas?
great video, DJI have rally stuffed up here, why cant they just have a camera like the Phantoms as their videos are always sharp, the mavics always have something out of focus if you are shooting 40 feet away the foreground and horizon is blurry, i dont know if this is a lens issue or software
The Mavic lens has adjustable focus. The others are fixed. You don't get the option of blurring the background or foreground on a fixed focus lens. If you want a wider range of focus, stop down the lens as far as you can for your light conditions.
hope it's ok to ask you this. I'm trying to find the things you talk about in this video. my mavic came yesterday and I'm trying to get the best settings and the focus learned. can't find the the 70, 80 or 90% Peak Focus Threshold. any reply will be welcomed and appreciated.
Maybe another question/topic that would dovetail into these are: why do I get diagonal lines showing up on the sky background on my iPad mini 4 when flying? The ground footage is fine but the sky has the diagonal lines scrolling across it - only on the ipad Mini 4 screen - not the actual recorded video.
+Paul Straten Under your camera settings you could have the "Over Exposure Warning" on in the camera settings. This is a switch located under the gear icon in your camera settings menu
Hi, thanks! very good video! I have a Mavic for 2 weeks and my videos are terrible...very bad! one question, are there differents setting for video? and others for camera or are the same? Thanks in advance Daniel
+Daniel Intili Yes, above the shutter button is an icon that you click to switch between camera and video mode. If your camera is unable to focus, this may be a problem that can be resolved by sending it back to DJI.
Nice video and thanks for the explanation. The problem with this at around time 6:00 regarding focus threshold is I can't believe the letters on the cup, mostly outlined in red and most of the printers feeder can be in focus at the same time with a 2.2 aperture. That would mean the depth of field is huge. In fact there is some red on every figure in the scene. Are you saying the whole scene is in focus? I can't really tell from my small monitor.
The main thing that is in focus is the printer in the back because that is the point that I chose the camera to focus on. That is why you will notice the dark, red lines on the printer whereas the cup has feint red lines because that is not the subject I chose to focus.
Im not disputing what you intended to focus on but I don't know what touching the screen prior to manually focus has any bearing on what would be in focus. The focus plane is parallel to the camera lens/sensor. Manually moving that plane comes from sliding the slider. If the printer was the intended focus distance then nothing on the cup should be in focus and everything on the printer should be in focus. The focus plane is just a few inches deep at most with this aperture and focal distance. Personally I don't like the red lines because of this crude focus assistance. I guess we just trust auto focus.
I enjoyed your video very much. Although I had to replay it over and over many times. You talk entirely to fast, I dont mean to be critical but come down to my level the student. Thanks much !
I've heard about the Mavic autofocus changing whenever it changes position; for example, going from a high point and then swooping down towards objects (such as trees/buildings). Whenever you fly like this, does AF re-focus in the middle of the shot? If it does, that will ruin the shot (the zoom in/out blur while it changes the AF midshot). How can you work around this and set up just infinity focus all the time?
I saw a video about that. When you stop moving it will refocus which gives a short blur to your shot. The guy recommend having it on auto focus. Get it to focus on a distant area by touching center of the screen to a good distance. When things look in focus then turn on manual focus. That will stop it from auto refocus anytime you stop moving and ruining your shot, just don't move the slider on the screen which would change the focus
In MF mode when you set the slider all the way to infinity, does it focus accurately? I've read comments saying that it's never quite sharp when set to infinity.
Hey Billy Kyle love your vids, but I need help pls I'm a new mavic flyer and I'm trying to calibrate everything so I can fly but I'm getting messages saying that "atti and meg" wats that about can you help me..
When do I need to tap the screen when initiated the first time during flight? For instance, maybe I am moving in a straight line going south to north, but moments later, I turn to go east in a straight line with my camera pointing down. Am I having to tap focus again? This is just one scenario of many more. Simply, I am confused about when to tap focus. I hope get my drift.
+Robert Calloway If you change the subject you are filming you should always refocus. You can always set one of the C buttons on the back of the remote as a focus button, making it super easy.
Great video.. Very helpful.. Please keep up the great work.
+R Johnson Thank you for the support! Glad I could help
I actually just watched this video because I found a smoking deal on a brand new Mavic Pro Platinum bundle pack for my real estate shoots(it’s still fantastically relevant for that). But great video 👍🏼
I really appreciate how you're able to present so much information in such a short period of time by being concise and efficient -a rarity for RUclips how to videos. Your Mavic series is among the easiest to watch.

This helped a ton manthanks ! I’ve been dealing with bad focus for so long on the Mavic!
Nice video. Not many people know about or understand peak focus threshold. Nice work!
Thank you Jamie!
By far the best most informative mavic camera focus video available on RUclips!! Thank you very much bro! I'm buying mine next week and am trying to educate myself ahead of the first flight. I flew a P3 standard for a year now and cannot wait for this upgrade!!
+N'th DEGREE DRONE No problem man! Thanks for the comment!
You are the first to explain Peak Focus Threshold. Thanks! Liked and Subscribed,
I actually have my auto focus control set on the back right hand button of the transmitter so I don't have to touch the screen, just makes controlling my Mavic a lot easier while flying.
Mine is screwed up. Wont focus at all in auto or manual.
Absolutely excellent video showing some of the professional features of the mavic pro
Nice and concise no fluffy shit straight to the point, great vid mate! You just got a new Aussie subscriber.
Finally, i've always wondered why everything seemed to have red lines around it and I didn't know why.
Excellent info Billy. Thanks from Western Australia the land down under.
Good job, went to a few focus mavic and they go into story mode your 5 min in and no wiser, you explain what we want to learn .
I have a problem on mine.... all the time is out of focus... even doing all u did here
Very helpful. Afternoons flying spoiled by appearance of these red lines - at least I know what they mean and how to use them or turn them off now.
Thanks for simplifying this. Answered a lot of questions!
+Toadstone Media No problem!
awesome Billy, I am slowly going through all your magic videos to learn. I only got my magic 4 days ago. Thank you for all these tips.
+JustOneForAll No problem! I am glad they are helping
thanks Billy....makes my life easier...PEACE
Peace!
Best explanation of focus on mavic pro I've seen! Thank you sir
Thanks - very concise and informative.
+AlanTheBeast100 Thank you Alan
great and well explained video, thanks mate
+atmm89 No problem!
Hey Billy, thanks for the great tips on using the peak focus threshold! I'll be trying it out this weekend.
Sure thing Jonathan!
This was very informative and well done. Good work friend. Thank You.
Thanks this clears things up with focus
Great information. I have overlooked focus in my first few flights.
+The Chaos Rift As did I
Good video. Well done. Thanks.
Flew my drone on Friday only to arrive home with blurry pics and video. Wish I saw this video beforehand. Thanks this video helped a lot....AF with 90% threshold it is.
Straight to the point, no BS like some other videos
Thats my goal!
Please don't change. Folks need to learn to use their replay buttons.
Thanks Billy, very helpful - greetings from Ireland :-)
awesome video! very helpful!
Glad to help Liam!
Excellent video - many thanks for making this - 👏💯
THANK YOU!!! This video solved my issues 1,000%
Good work. Enjoyed your efforts.
Great video! Can’t wait to try it 😁
Much Appreciated it’s always good to remember it’s to easy to forget sometimes to tap the screen.....😉😎👌
Thanks for this man! Your audio's on point and the info is top. Also looks like your other vids are great too... sooo *sub*
Thanks Ben! Great to have you here
can I just leave it in autofocus and when I am inthe air tap the screen?
Hi Billy.
Be aware of the differences in DJIGO4 for Android and iPhone.
In Android version you will not find the menu options "peak focus thresholt" and "enable hardware decodnlng". Therefore, one can not achieve the focus help you mention with the red lines on Android.
+TheLandbo Sorry about that. I base my reviews off of the iOS version of the DJI Go app.
I could not get it to auto focus properly in lower light, this info should help, thanks and peak focus threshold is in the camera settings next to where you reset the camera using anddroid, they may have just added this though
I like the way you say totally, totally dude
+TYTFan Sig 🤙🏼
Thank you very enlightening
great explanation for the robot that you are.
I received an error when trying to read this.
Got my Mavic today!!😍
Awesome!!!
Mavic, yes.
Interesting. Have you updated the firmware of the drone as well as the DJI Go App?
Thank you! So useful!
You're welcome!
Billy,
would like to add one thing...notice how when in auto focus the camera will "refocus" on its own. test it, just move the Mavic around your room, it will refocus every time. this can be very troublesome during a recording, watching the scene go in and out. so, I am leaving it on manual for now, once I have it in focus, I then change it to manual. so the camera won't refocus on its own.

Eric Williams Good advice :)
I'd say the same thing! Brilliant content but fast speech.
It's a matter of taste I would say. Personally I like the speed, clarity and focus. I like to get my info that way and Billy delivers.
Aleksi Lausti Photography I agrea I've got no problem keeping up..
Please make a video, how to focus at night(in low light conditions)very nice Chanel!
+Apple Man Focusing at night is the same as day. You just need to make sure your shot is well lit
Great explanation
Thank you 👍
Great and helpfull video. If you slow down your explanation speed to 50% your audience could even understand you on the first occasion.
+Philip Scheepsmaatje I'll trip Phil
I could understand Billy perfectly well, not sure what the fuss is about

The peak focus threshold is no where to be found on my Mavic software. No where literally.
Are you using android?

Ah, It's not available on android. Sorry man
Billy Kyle Thats piss poor on DJIs part.
+Eric Owens Agreed.

BK love your presentation, great work. A little off topic, is there a hack or some way to get RAW video (no compression) from Mavic?
Thanks Damon! Unfortunately there is no way to get the RAW video file. Sorry!
Nice one
Thanks Jack!
I'm using a go pro app on my remote control that comes with it on monitor
Obrigado!
How does the focus work in Quickshot modes?
The Rocket for example..if you do it manually...should you focus to infinity first and then pull up?
Manual focus is good，but notice that the Mavic pro's M focus it is not that good some times，the infinity focus point is not true，when you scroll all the way down to infinity，the image will get totally blurry！I think DJI should be fix it.

+Mike D with the newest update, the drone will actually autofocus itself continuously. This video was made before that update
Hi, good video!
Could you please mention in the description what version and platform of DJI GO 4 and what Mavic firmware version this video is referring to.
DJI has changed a lot in different versions and likely will also in future versions.

There's no manual focus on Mavic Air. Why DJI?
Where is that slider you are talking about to focus?

it strange, i don't have Focus Peaking on my DJI GO APP 4 on my Samsung Edge 7.

Help with the AElock! I can't turn on in manual mode
In MF mode when you set the slider all the way to infinity, does it focus accurately? I've read comments saying that it's never quite sharp when set to infinity.
Chatt3rbox747 :
the icons are reversed. sliding to the infinity icon is actually macro and vice versa. a very bad update by DJI
Nice, but would be nice to see how to use it when you're flying. 👍
Should be fairly straight forward, if you have any questions let me know and I will be happy to get back to you!
Hey Billy Kyle love your vids, but I need help pls I'm a new mavic flyer and I'm trying to calibrate everything so I can fly but I'm getting messages saying that "atti and meg" wats that about can you help me..
do you turn off AFC auto focus continuous
show outside please
there is no peak focus threshold on my software I'm using dji go4 on an android phone ??? is this an iOS only feature ??
+hartsyde I believe that it might be. Although it could be coming to an Android update soon.
When do I need to tap the screen when initiated the first time during flight? For instance, maybe I am moving in a straight line going south to north, but moments later, I turn to go east in a straight line with my camera pointing down. Am I having to tap focus again? This is just one scenario of many more. Simply, I am confused about when to tap focus. I hope get my drift.
+Robert Calloway If you change the subject you are filming you should always refocus. You can always set one of the C buttons on the back of the remote as a focus button, making it super easy.
Billy Kyle Thanks a lot.
