Is it necessary to upgrade to the Mavic 3 Pro Series if I already have a Mavic 3 or
Mavic 3 Classic?
Compared with Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Classic, we've significantly upgraded the imaging performance of
the Mavic 3 Pro Series:
The Mavic 3 Pro Series includes DJI’s first tri-camera flagship drones with multiple focal lengths. It uses
the same wide-angle 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera as Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Classic. Compared with Mavic
3, it adds a 1/1.3-inch CMOS 70mm medium tele camera with 48MP effective pixels. It also has an
upgraded 1/2-inch CMOS 166mm tele camera with 12MP effective pixels, providing more flexible aerial
photography perspectives while enhancing creative efficiency and freedom.
All three cameras of the Mavic 3 Pro Series drones support shooting 4K/60fps video, and all three
cameras of the Cine version support Apple ProRes 422/422 HQ/422 LT codecs. No matter which version
you choose, you will enjoy high-level professional creation.
If you need more focal length options, better creative effects, and work that has more expressive
composition and storytelling details, the Mavic 3 Pro Series is here to meet your shooting needs.
In addition, the Mavic 3 Pro Series also supports the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS), D-Log,
D-Log M, HLG, and other color modes, which retain more image details and facilitate more efficient color
grading in post-production.
What are some use cases for the new medium tele camera of the Mavic 3 Pro
Series?
Compared with the wide-angle Hasselblad camera, the 70mm medium tele camera captures footage
with a stronger sense of spatial compression, which can better capture the relationship between the
subject and the surroundings, highlight the subject in a complex environment, and create a visual focus
in the image or video.
Compared with the 166mm tele camera, using the medium tele camera may be better in some
scenarios. It enables new aerial photography perspectives and can help to achieve different camera
movements. You don’t need to replace the camera on the drone during shooting. Just tap the screen to
switch between different focal lengths, making transitions smoother and more natural.
The medium tele camera supports 3x optical zoom and the new D-Log M color mode, further reducing
the difficulty of color grading in post-production. It also supports FocusTrack, Hyperlapse, and 3x-7x
digital zoom to help you create cinematic footage effortlessly.

How can I switch between the medium tele camera and tele camera of the DJI
Mavic 3 Pro Series?
When using the DJI Mavic 3 Pro series there are several ways you can switch between the cameras. If
you're using the camera in Explore mode, both Picture and Video, you can use the camera control wheel
to zoom in digitally from 1x to 3x, 3x to 7x, and 7x to 28x. When you scroll through the zoom digitally
you only switch to a different lens when the amount of zoom reaches the next lens's optical zoom. In all
of the other photo modes: Single, AEB, Burst, and Timed Shot you can only access the optical zoom of
each lens by tapping the 1, 3, and 7 on the screen in the camera view. In video modes you can use the
camera control wheel to zoom digitally or click the respective optical zoom numbers on the screen in the
camera view. By selecting the zoom via tapping on the screen you automatically switch to the lens at
that focal length.
Can I take RAW photos with the medium tele camera or tele camera of the DJI
Mavic 3 Pro Series?
The medium tele camera and tele camera support taking RAW photos in normal photo mode but not in
Explore mode.
