The new firmware v01.00.0200 release for the DJI Mini 3 Pro adds support for FocusTrack, QuickShots, and Hyperlapse in vertical/portrait mode. On top of that, it also adds support for continuous auto focus in video mode, a power saving USB mode, and a two-second interval option for Hyperlapse after takeoff. Let’s take a look at everything that is included in this fresh update.

The previous update to the DJI Mini 3 Pro (firmware v01.00.0100) added a host of cool new features like 10-bit color in the D-Cinelike picture profile, true vertical shooting, and others. Although it might not be as exciting, firmware v01.00.0200 gives us some much needed fixes and adds a few new tricks to this sub-250g drone’s wheelhouse.

The new firmware (v01.00.0200) for the aircraft was released on June 30th along with DJI RC-N1 firmware v04.14.0221, DJI RC firmware v01.01.0000, and a DJI Fly App v1.6.8 for iOS and Android. An update to v1.6.8 or higher is required to access the updated features.

• Added a two-second option to interval time setting when using Hyperlapse after takeoff.
• Added support for continuous auto focus (AF-C) during video recording.
