Photography course for DJI Filmmakers

Master sharpness by selecting focus methods suited to the scene, from AFC and single autofocus to manual focus, and use zoom and focus aids to control depth of field.

Learn how camera and subject movement affect sharpness and how stabilization tools like tripods and three-axis gimbals keep images clear. Explore Active Track 2.0 tracking modes for moving subjects.

Explore how the sensor and the lens determine image quality and field of view. Learn how sensor size, focal length, angle of view, and relative aperture shape exposure.

Explore the exposure triangle by mastering diaphragm, shutter, and iso. Control light and depth of field with aperture and manual drone settings.

Master the exposure triangle by adjusting shutter speed to control exposure time, balancing aperture to manage depth of field, and choosing fast or slow speeds for motion.

Explore how aperture, diaphragm, exposure time and shutter speed, and depth of field, control sharpness and the plane of focus in aerial and drone shots.

Explore how ISO, aperture, and shutter speed form the exposure triangle to control light, digital noise, depth of field, and motion in drone photography, with practical manual mode guidance.

Explore how to manage exposure quickly with auto and manual modes, EV compensation, aperture and shutter priority, spot metering, and histogram tools on DJI devices for precise photos and video.

Master white balance by understanding color temperature in kelvin, using auto, presets, or manual settings to preserve true colors in mixed light during drone and camera shoots.

Explore how photo filters, including polarizing, ultraviolet, and neutral density filters, enhance contrast, reduce reflections, and control exposure for drone and handheld photography.

Learn six lighting techniques for aerial photography, including backlit silhouettes, golden hour and blue hour scenes, Alpen glow, reflections, and methods to create a sense of space and mood.

Discover how to set up DJI camera color profiles to balance dynamic range, choose flat profiles for post-production, and adjust contrast, saturation, and sharpness for cinematic looks.

Explore how lines and geometric forms, guided by the rule of thirds, create dynamic aerial compositions using triangles, circles, and rectangles to guide viewer perspective, build rhythm, and depth.

Master light and color to create a three-dimensional illusion and depth in photos and aerial shots, using lateral and backlighting, high/low angles, and color contrast for vivid, realistic volume.

Explore typical filming and photography scenarios with DJI gear, from tracking animals and moving subjects to architectural and night shots, using telephoto lenses, fast shutter speeds, and sky pixel platform.

Explore the evolution of film space through drone technology and cinematographic technique, mastering shot types from extreme long to extreme close up, framing, line of action, and the 180-degree rule.

Move the camera with purpose as you explore classic movements: pan, tilt, tracking, dolly, and orbit, while tuning gimbal settings for smooth results with drones and stabilized cameras.
