Newbie question regarding picture retrieval

Shaker · Feb 3, 2018

I am a newbie and new to drones in general. I am an avid landscape photographer and hence my interest in getting this device.

So I apologize for what may seem redundant questions or just plain stupid....lol

It says that the Air has 8GB of o-nboard storage, so if you fly without a micro-SD inserted then how do you retrieve any files from the on-board storage?

Also is there a good thread to explain how to set up the camera features for both still and movie operation?

Connect your Mavic Air to a computer with the included USB Type-C cable. You'll then be able to access the files like you do with any other hard drive connected to your computer.
