4.2 Intelligent Features

The DJI Air 2S is equipped with several intelligent features to enhance your flying and filming experience:

• MasterShots: This advanced intelligent feature allows the drone to automatically perform a sequence of complex flight maneuvers while recording, then generates a short cinematic video. Simply select your subject, and the drone will execute the shots.
