DJI Osmo Pocket 4P gets two lenses and 4K/240 fps slow motion

The main camera of the Osmo Pocket 4P model uses a new 1-inch CMOS sensor, a focal length equivalent to 20 millimeters, and an aperture of f/2.0. The sensor is paired with LOFIC technology, and when using the D-Log 2 color profile, the dynamic range is declared at its best at 17 stops. Recording is done in 10-bit format, so there is more leeway in the color material for post-processing.

The second camera is based on a 1/1.28-inch sensor. Its 60mm focal length and f/1.8 aperture are designed specifically for tighter framing and portraiture. DJI claims the telephoto camera has triple optical zoom and up to 12x zoom.

The solution changes the way the Pocket series is used quite significantly. In the previous Osmo Pocket 3 model, a single 1-inch sensor and a 20mm lens were used, so changing the angle of view was based on digital zoom. The maximum speed of the Pocket 3 in 4K burst mode is 120 frames per second.

In video recording, the wide-angle camera of the Osmo Pocket 4P model can achieve 4K resolution at 240 fps at its best. With a telephoto camera, the corresponding maximum speed is 4K/200 fps. Fast recording can be used for up to eight times slower speeds.

Still images can be captured with a resolution of up to 37 megapixels. There is also a 4K Live Photo function, which records a short video clip alongside the photo. The shooting can also be initiated using gesture control, in which the palm is used to control the ActiveTrack function and the V button to record video.

According to DJI's product specifications, the camera has 103 gigabytes of storage space inside. The material can be transferred via the USB 3.1 connection at a sequential speed of up to 800 megabytes per second.

The stabilization is provided by the three-axis mechanical gimbal familiar from the Pocket series. Alongside it, ActiveTrack 8.0 object tracking is used to track, for example, people, animals, and vehicles. The tracking is said to work in compatible shooting modes with up to 12x zoom.

The camera can also be set to automatically focus on multiple subjects. This is especially useful in situations where the camera is used alone to take a photo and you don't want to use another person to continuously manage the framing.

The Osmo Pocket 4P model is advertised at 230 grams. It is promised a runtime of 210 minutes at best, and the battery is said to charge from empty to 80 percent in 18 minutes. According to DJI’s model comparison, the lighter Osmo Pocket 4 lasts longer on a single charge, up to 240 minutes, so the Osmo Pocket 4 has a focus on the larger camera system.
