Unable to activate SPOTLIGHT MODE

[closetmonster]

I’m unable to get spotlight mode to work. I’m running DJI FLY 1.4.2 on an iPhone 8 Plus with the latest iOS. I’ve tried different frame rates and resolutions and still can’t get it to work…any thoughts?

Many features require the drone to be flying to work. Is this the case?

Yes, I’m flying when I try to use spotlight mode.

Thanks, is the Mavic air manual the same as the MA2?

Also make sure "Subject Scanning" under "Control" is not enabled.

I’ll have to check that out. I never noticed that option or perhaps didn’t pay any attention to it. I’ll have to charge a battery up and go take a look ?

Hey Pappy,

So I looked and subject scanning was NOT enabled; should it be enabled since I’m not getting the results with it disabled?

I think you need to have something highlighted on screen to see some of the tracking options, no? Eg be in the air, tap on a subject (or draw a box around it), then some of the activetrack options appear.
I am a complete noob, so someone with experience please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi KewDok,

it turns out that SUBJECT SCANNING was turned off under CONTROL. I’m not sure why it got turned off (perhaps during one of the app updates). Everything is working great now. ?
