Powered by DJI’s Mimo app, the OM 5 also offers up the following features:
Gesture Control: Hold your palm up or make a ‘V’ shape with your hand to start a video clip or take a photo. This is ideal for taking a selfie or group photo without the need for a timer.
DynamicZoom: Based on the ‘the vertigo effect’ made popular by filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, this mode allows you to move toward or away from a subject while the background shifts.
Timelapse, Motionlapse, Hyperlapse: speed up a clip using Timelapse or Motionlapse modes. DJI recommends you use the tripod for the best results. Hyperlapse allows you to physically move while capturing a sped-up clip. All three modes use Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) technology.
Panoramas: there are three different ways to automatically create a panorama. 3×3, 240º, and ‘CloneMe’. The latter allows you to capture three versions of a person or subject and then combines them into one shot.
Spin Shot Gimbal Movement: when the gimbal is in video, slow motion, or hyperlapse mode, you can activate this feature in the settings. It will record a shot while your smartphone spins 270º, creating a unique effect.
Story Mode: the OM 5 uses pre-set templates to help you create a dynamic video. You can record, and re-record these clips. It will then stitch them together and add music for a polished and instantly shareable final product.
Glamour Effects: Activated when the front-facing camera is turned on, this supports automatic retouching and gives you a setting than can make you appear thinner, for example.
