12.0 FUNCTION DETAILS 12.1 Emergency Stop The Emergency Stop function should only be used in an emergency during the flight to avoid any damage or injury. Press the Record Video and the Lens Down button simultaneously, and you will hear one beep from the transmitter. The drone will fall down immedi- ately.
12.3 Take Photo/Record Video Take Photo: Short press the Photo button on the transmitter to take photos. You will hear one beep, which indicates that the camera has successfully taken one photo. Record Video: Short press the Video button on the transmitter. You will hear two beeps which means the recording has started.
12.5 Headless Mode The Headless Mode is a great training tool for beginner pilots. It is also useful when the drone is too far from the pilot (which makes it difficult to tell its orientation). It keeps the drone traveling forward, backward, left, or right when you move the right joystick in those directions, regardless of which way the front of the drone is pointed.
Page 25
* Why is the orientation of the drone important? In normal flying mode, the control of the drone movement can sometimes be counter-intuitive for beginners. For instance, when the drone is in the air with its head pointing to your right, if you push the right joystick forward, the drone will fly to your right, instead of flying forward.
12.6 Trimmer F/B Sideward Fly Trim: If the drone tends to drift forward, press down the left joystick and do not release it while pushing the right joystick down to balance the drone. If the drone tends to drift backward, press down the left joystick and do not release it while pushing the right joystick up to balance the drone.
12.7 Altitude-Hold Function The drone is designed with an altitude-hold function to maintain its altitude after releasing the left joystick. (The left joystick will automatically spring back to the middle) -22-...
