"UPWARD 3.1M" Shown on DJI RC 2 Controller

[Ken-Mav-Mtl]

I have noticed an orange message on the RC 2 Controller as I flew my Mini 4 Pro today. The message is very hard to see when flying but upon review of the video, I have extracted the image and hope that someone on this forum can explain what this message is for.

It’s telling you that an obstacle has been detected above the drone. The may not be directly above, but in front and above.

The reason that I found that message to be odd was because I was in clear air, nothing near the drone, at roughly 60 meters. I was not heading into the sun either.
This message popped up a couple of times during the flight.
Any idea why this message appears in clear air far from any objects?

Not particularly but make sure your OA sensors are clean and if there is a visual sensor system calibration option on the mini 4 you might try that.

If it keeps happening unexpectedly and is more than a minor hiccup, may be best to send to DJI for warranty repair.
