DJI has dropped a killer firmware update (v01.06.08.04) for Osmo Pocket 3 The Vlogging Camera, packing a powerful new zoom mode, smoother focus transitions, and pro-level color upgrades. Whether you're a vlogger, filmmaker, or just love shooting sharp, cinematic videos, this update makes the Pocket 3 even harder to resist. Here's what's new...

Med–tele mode: bringing exercise closer

One of the standout additions is the new Mid-Tele mode. This feature allows users to achieve a 2x magnified mid-telephoto view, equivalent to a 40mm focal length, while retaining pristine 4K ultra-high-definition resolution. Unlike traditional digital zoom, which can degrade image quality, the mid-telephoto mode significantly improves image resolution, preserving intricate textural details. This makes it ideal for capturing subjects from a distance without compromising clarity. To activate this mode, press just tap the <> icon at the bottom of the screen in video mode. However, note that in mid-telephoto mode, the maximum ISO is set to 1600 and ActiveTrack is not supported.

Breath Compensation: Smooth Focus Transitions

DJI has addressed a common challenge in videography and introduced a breathing compensation feature. When enabled, this feature corrects for changes in the field of view caused by changes in focus distance during recording. The result is a more stable and visually appealing experience, especially during focus drag or when tracking moving subjects. This improvement ensures that your images maintain a consistent composition and raises the overall production quality.

This feature provides a wider dynamic range and greater color depth, offering more flexibility in post-production color grading. Whether you're streaming, video conferencing or recording of content, this ensures professional coloristsl that your images are vibrant and true to life.

Improved DJI MIMO app: Seamless user experience

This update also corresponds to improvements to DJI MIMO app , now updated to version 2.2.2 for both iOS and Android users. A notable improvement is the background management capability, which allows users to continue using the app while files are being transferred, thus streamlining the workflow. Additionally, the app introduces the ability to take video screenshots and save them as static photos or live photos. The availability of this feature depends on the system versions of devices from manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo.

In addition to these exciting new features, DJI also addressed various minor bugs to improve Osmo Pocket overall stability and performance. These refinements ensure a smoother and more reliable user experience, allowing creators to focus on capturing their vision without technical interruptions.
