I do wish they'd have some better way to distinguish which is active: Photo or Video.
You need a spotter with you that keeps reminding you what mode you’re in? my wife’s brilliant at that...???
The first thing she says, “have you got everything set up correctly”.............
But it works?

Icon #12 shows WHITE for still photo and RED for video.
Also when in video mode a small clock showing video time appears just under the #12 button.
It doesn’t on mine, icon #12 is a solid orange colour but icon #11 toggle switch shows me what mode I’m in?
Below photo, icon 11 = photo mode
Below photo, icon 11= video mode.
I know the shoot/record button looks yellow in both photo, but it is orange?
It might make a difference what operating system you’re using, mines android on a CS monitor?

As I said earlier mine changes WHITE (Stills) to RED (video. When it is filming video the red area reduces in size to a smaller area surround by white. I am using CRYSTALSKY monitors. Same colours for the 5" or 7" monitor.
Mines definitely different to yours in video mode, record button still orange but changes to a square, timer underneath.In photo mode, button is orange.
Anyway, what I posted in post #2 is something the op should look out for. That hopefully will sort his problem out while taking photos.

Hopefully it should work, just press the toggle switch from video to photos.
Another good way to learn and practice with the Go4 app is,
Take the probs off, important and remove gimbal clamp
Turn everything on as you would when outside flying
Then you can play with the Go4 app in the comfort of your home. This will get you familiarised with the app?

MY, ME, MINE, etc, problem with icon 11 is that I can't tell if it means SWITCH to the mode shown. Or it IS in the mode shown. Possibly dyslexic regarding this issue. Once I'm videoing, then I see the CLOCK and I know I'm videoing! (g)
Well turns out on mine (i-phone 10r) it's white for photos and red for video...got some shots this am before the storms roll in...worked as advertised...thanks again to all who helped...this is a great forum!!
Glad it’s now working for you, regardless of the colours?? now go and enjoy? Remember to share some of your photos with us?
