QUICK REFERENCE OF IMPORTANT CAMERA SETTINGS
The settings be ow are recommended for the LUTs to work proper y, in conjunction with an
accurate white ba ance and using the ETTR zebras to show where the high ights of an
image are c ipping.
If you deviate from these settings, your co orimetry and uma curves won’t match precise y
to Rec709 and you may get other errors in your footage. You can find the detai s of how to
set these in the next section.

Overexposure Warning (Zebras) ON
FULL CAMERA SETUP GUIDE
Based on the Mini 2, using the DJI F y phone app interface. Your camera may not have a
the same features so adjust as necessary.
1. P ug your phone or tab et into your remote contro er and start the DJI F y app, then
press the Connect Aircraft button.
2. Tap on the three dots top right of screen to enter the Menus.
3. Safety – set your max a titude and distance as we the Return to Home A titude.
You can a so ca ibrate your gimba and compass here, as we as un ocking Geo
Zones etc. I recommend setting Signa Lost to Return To Home (make sure your
RTH A titude considers oca heights of objects to avoid the drone crashing into
them when on autopi ot!).
4. Contro – Choose your f ight mode etc and Units as desired. I recommend A ow
Upward Gimba Rotation ON for eve camera orientation in high speed f ight.
5. Camera – Set your Size to 16:9 (Mavic Mini) and format your SD card.
6. Turn Histogram ON and Overexposure Warning ON.
7. Set White Ba ance to Manua and adjust to the correct Ke vin va ue. If you ho d a
white ba ance card in front of the drone when switching from Auto to Manua , the
first custom va ue wi be very c ose to neutra , so this is my recommended method
for consistency and avoiding any co our shift during f ight. You wi need to tweak
the white ba ance in post BEFORE app ying the LUT, so I recommend shooting a
few seconds of your white ba ance card before takeoff in the ight you expect when
f ying, for best accuracy in post.
8. Set Anti-F icker as needed for your region, or eave at Auto.
9. Set Video Subtit es ON (embedded f ight data in the video fi e). You can use Cache
When Recording with your se ected size, to record a ow qua ity backup to your
phone or tab et.
10. Transmission – Set as needed for your region to avoid interference.
11. About – Set your drone’s name if needed. You can a so check for firmware updates
in this screen, to ensure you have the atest versions.
12. Exit the Menus.
13. Tap on the Fi m Icon right hand side to bring up the Camera functions.
14. Choose Video, then choose your desired reso ution and framerate. I recommend 4K
at 24fps (2.7K for the Mavic Mini) or 25fps but you can choose 1080p for higher
framerates if desired, such as 48fps. In post you can then re-time your footage to
your project framerate if desired for s omo effects.

15. Tap on the itt e Auto camera icon bottom right of the screen to switch it to M mode
(manua adjustment). Here you can set your ISO and shutter speed manua y for
greater contro over your exposure. Use the zebras to avoid c ipping.
You are now ready to use Leeming LUT Pro™ with the maximum picture qua ity avai ab e.
