📢 DJI just rolled out a new firmware update for the Osmo Pocket 3, packed with exciting new features!

The firmware version is 01.06.0803.

In this video we will see its new features, focusing more on the first two:

MED-TELE MODE and BREATHING COMPENSATION.

But four more features will interest you, so stay tuned!

MED-TELE MODE

In video mode, tap the <> icon at the bottom of the screen to enable the mode. When enabled, a 2x magnified mid-telephoto view can be achieved (equivalent focal length of 40mm) while maintaining a maximum 4K ultra-high-definition resolution. Compared to digital zoom, Med-Tele mode significantly enhances image resolution, preserving more texture details. (In Med-Tele mode, the maximum ISO is 1600 and ActiveTrack is not supported.)

That’s what DJI says. We have to add that this feature only works in the Normal mode, not on the D-Log M or HLG. When you leave the Normal mode, the <> icon disappears.

You can’t enable the med-tele mode while you are recording.

So, let’s see again how you can enable that:

At the bottom of the screen, you just press the relevant icon.

In the tests you can see at our video, we decided to use the digital zoom only a couple of times, as we believe that the new med-tele mode is clearer than the 2x digital zoom.

We decided to open the shadows, so you can get a better idea of the two modes.

You can both check the no zoom mode, and the new mode.

Here’s a mode that we don’t find useful, but some may, so here it is:

That’s the med-tel mode and the 2x digital zoom simultaneously.

Please note that when the med-tele mode is on, you don’t lose focus, but you lose the active tracking, a thing that also happens with some mirrorless cameras that have that mode.

BREATHING COMPENSATION

When enabled, the camera corrects changes in the field of view caused by shifts in focus distance during recording, optimizing the visual experience.

It’s another interesting feature that you can enable by touching the relevant button at the lower right corner of the screen.

If you choose to enable that, the result will be smoother, but we understand that some might still prefer a faster response and disable it. When you have it on, the difference is subtle, but the result is still smoother.

Another suggestion is to use breathing compensation with the med-tele mode, if you want to showcase a product.

D-LOG M (10 BIT) COLOR OPTION IN WEBCAM MODE

We suppose this makes more sense if you’re using a stable Wi-Fi connection, otherwise a stream using data might not make a difference in D-Log.

As we mention more of the new features, we will show you more results of using the med-tele mode, so keep reading!
