hello,

On the remote control menus it is written that you can customize the 5 directions of the 5D Button (left - right - up - down, then the 5th one which is press the button by pushing it down)

but in reality i can only customize actions for the 4 cardinal points (left, right, up and down).

There is no option to customize the 5th one

anyone has a clue ? (all those settings are in the remote control menu of DJI GO APP)
 
I think the push joystick button in = push joystick up customization. Technically they should add one more optoin. Any change I have done to the joystic up was the same action as push it in
 
Yes that's what I noticed also.. That's weird because on the screen menus they do mention the 5 options on customization.. But only give 4

I think they should have called this button the 4D button instead of 5D lol

I wonder if the omission of the fifth pulldown menu is in v4.3.0 of the DJI Go4. I seem to recall having no issues with it before.
 
Manual is horrible. It shows default function for 5D button. It has up and down the same, push down brings up IFM.
 
yeah, probably a bug

let's see next firmware update

I think the 5D, C1 & C2 buttons are all software programmable through the Go4 or Lichi Apps. The buttons have no functionality without a phone/tablet or computer hooked up and running so it would seem that these functions are not aircraft or controller FW controlled.
 
Yeah , and so ?

If they are aircraft controlled or not was not the point of this discussion... But thank you for chiming in ;)

The only point being was which bit of code would have to be updated (or rolled back) to correct the problem. Seem relevant, but I certainly could be mistaken!

I just checked and it's true. The buttons don't work without a mobile. That's silly. I agree some functions don't make sense without a display but many would, especially if you were flying close and could visually see the gimbal/camers.
 
Also, i think it is a software issue but the 5D button matches whatever is customized as the up movement. The manual says that it should bring up the flight modes but it does not
 
Yes Highflyer, that's basically what I (with some difficulties) tried to explain in my opening post

Hopefully a fix is coming
 
On my M2Z (with GO 4.3 on IOS) I customized the 4 directions but the push always opens the intelligent flights mode selection popup
