But that’s not all if you’re looking to slow things down for cinematic shots, the camera can also record in 4K at 120 frames per second for epic slow-motion footage.
In addition to the main camera, the Air 3S also features a medium telephoto lens with a 70mm focal length, a 1/1.3-inch sensor, and an f/2.8 aperture. This camera offers 48 megapixels and supports 3x to 9x digital zoom. Whether you’re capturing distant landscapes, wildlife, or other faraway subjects, you can zoom in without losing quality. Like the main camera, it also supports 4K at 60fps and 4K at 120fps, ensuring no compromise in video quality when zooming.
Advanced Color Profiles for Cinematic Quality
For filmmakers and content creators, the DJI Air 3S supports 10-bit D-Log M and HLG color profiles. This allows for 14 stops of dynamic range, providing greater detail in both highlights and shadows. The result? Super-detailed, cinema-grade footage that brings your vision to life.
