3.3 Activating the Aircraft

1. Power on the aircraft and the remote controller.
2. Connect your mobile device to the remote controller via the Micro USB cable.
3. Launch the DJI GO 4 app and follow the on-screen instructions to activate the aircraft. An internet connection is required for activation.

3.4 Propeller Installation (if not pre-installed)

Ensure propellers are correctly installed. Match the propellers with gray marks to the motors with gray propeller mounts, and unmarked propellers to unmarked motors. Press down and rotate the propeller in the lock direction indicated on the motor until it is secure.

5. Operating the DJI Spark

5.1 Take-off and Landing

The Spark can be launched from your hand using the FaceAware feature, which recognizes your face for quick take-off. Alternatively, use the one-button take-off/landing function via the remote controller or DJI GO 4 app. For landing, the drone will gradually descend and shut down once it detects the ground.

5.2 Intelligent Flight Modes

The DJI Spark offers several intelligent flight modes for enhanced creativity and ease of use:

• QuickShot: Pre-programmed flight paths to create cinematic videos with a tap (e.g., Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix).
• TapFly: Tap a point on your mobile device screen, and the Spark will fly to that location while actively avoiding obstacles.
• ActiveTrack: The drone can automatically recognize and track objects of different shapes and sizes, keeping them in the frame.
• Gesture Control: Control the drone with simple hand gestures for take-off, landing, and capturing photos/videos.
• Sport Mode: Increases the drone's speed and responsiveness for a more dynamic flight experience.

5.3 Flight Safety Features

The Spark is equipped with advanced safety features:

• Obstacle Sensing: Front-facing vision sensors detect obstacles and help the drone avoid collisions.
• GPS/GLONASS: Provides precise positioning and stable hovering, even when flying indoors or in areas with weak GPS signals.
• Return-to-Home (RTH): If the battery level is low, connection is lost, or the RTH button is pressed, the drone will automatically return to its recorded home point.

6. Camera Features

The DJI Spark is equipped with a high-performance camera designed for stunning aerial photography and videography:

• Video Resolution: Captures video at 1080p (Full HD) resolution.
• Photo Resolution: Takes still images at 12 megapixels.
• Gimbal Stabilization: Features a 2-axis mechanical gimbal that effectively reduces shake and ensures smooth, stable footage.
• Supported Formats: Images are saved in JPEG format, and videos in MP4/MOV.
• DJI GO 4 App Integration: The app provides automatic editing templates and a range of filters to quickly edit and share your content directly to social media.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Battery Care

• Always use official DJI chargers and charging hubs.
• Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• If storing for extended periods, discharge batteries to 50-60% capacity.

7.2 Propeller Replacement

Inspect propellers before each flight for any cracks, bends, or damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided extra propellers. Ensure correct propeller type (marked/unmarked) is matched to the corresponding motor.

7.3 Cleaning

Wipe the drone body and camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Keep the vision sensors clean for optimal performance.

8. Troubleshooting

• Drone not taking off: Ensure batteries are charged, propellers are correctly installed, and the drone is activated via the DJI GO 4 app. Check for any error messages in the app.
• Poor video quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check the Micro SD card for sufficient space and proper insertion. Verify app settings for video resolution.
• Loss of signal: Fly in open areas away from strong electromagnetic interference. Ensure the remote controller's antennas are properly oriented towards the drone.
• Drone drifting: Perform IMU and compass calibration as instructed in the DJI GO 4 app.
