Can anyone confirm or deny if the photo zoom mode is supposed to work on the Mavic Air 2 in DJI Fly 1.2.2 or does it only work with the Mini 2? I have a Mavic Air 2 and I don't see the photo zoom feature. I do have the new compass view so I know I really have 1.2.2 loaded.

I am using an android phone for my MA2 and Fly App and I still do not see the photo zoom function. Or am I missing something? ?

But yes, there is 4K zoom in video mode.

I see it in the video mode. It's not new in 1.2.2. I was only asking about Photo mode with the Mavic Air 2. I do also have an android phone.

I can confirm the photo zoom is for mini 2 with the latest firmware (12/28/20) and Fly app 1.2.2 installed only, not for Air 2 at this time.
 
The mini gets photo zoom but not the air2 . That just sucks lol

I was going to say, even Billy Kyle reviewed on release and made note of lossless 4x in 4K and wondered how that was possible. DJI reminded him the camera has more resolution than 4K.
 
Just checked firmware release notes, no mention for zoom in photos in Air 2. Looks like i was also wrong about 4x in 4k from the beginning. It was added in firmware updates.
 
There was another topic that had a YT link attached. It looked horrible and thought at first that was the way it was when uploaded, until I noticed the YT resolution in Auto chose 480p. Forced it to 1080p, all fixed.

It is only available in video mode. 2X Zoom in 4K mode and Up To 4X in 1080P mode. There are plenty of videos out there that clearly explain all the various functions.

Do you have a link to the release notes you mentioned. I have looked and just can't find them. Thanks

I only have 2X in 4k. I do have 4x in 1080p with latest firmware on Air2. NO ZOOM in camera mode.

As to resolution in 2-4x - from my video's - IT SUCKS. Too grainy / pixelated even in 2x at 4k 25fps. I have only shot at sunset / lower light, so that may be some of it; but the grain is very noticeable.
 
I usually take photos when I use my MA2 and have been dying to use zoom on photos. Strange that DJI would provide it to the Mini before the MA2 but I guess they are riding the hot hand.
