I’ve noticed when I’m flying around 200-350 ft I’ll I’ll be flying and the drone will stop and beep as if it was going to run into a wall. Nothing within 100’s of ft. I’ve had birds try and strike me but when I’m watching the drone stop there is nothing near it. Just a bug? Sensors dirty? Invisible aliens?

Sunlight, try turning the drone and flying backwards if you need to. The sunlight can cause issues.
 
Sun glare is one cause. Another issue at times is wind. It is really not good to fly with that feature active if it's windy. It causes the aircraft to stop, beep, and possibly climb in altitude depending on settings.
 
Mine got worse a few updates back, but I just turn it off when I am flying in wind or during golden hour. The problem is, it still beeps. So I tend to turn my volume down.
 
I noticed same behaviour after latest firmware update. It gets worse when going down and full speed ahead. Is it the same for you?

forgot to tag pic. But maybe I’m too high up? I launched off the rock.

I had about 6 photos of the 30+ I Tried to take come out decent. Everything else looks unfocused even after hitting the focus button several times
