Dual Camera System and HDR Videos:
The DJI Air 3’s dual-camera setup represents one of its most unique features. The wide-angle camera has a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with a 24mm format equivalent as well as an f/1.7 aperture, along with the camera as a whole having 48 MP sensors. While the medium telephoto camera has an f/2.8 aperture and a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with a 70mm format equivalent. The medium telephoto camera, specifically, provides an impressive 3x optical zoom for taking exact close-up pictures. Both cameras share the same size sensor with a 2.4μm pixel size, ensuring consistent and top-notch image quality throughout your aerial adventures.
The DJI Air 3’s camera supports dual native ISO for capturing 4K/60fps HDR videos, with a maximum recording speed of 4K/100fps without field-of-view cropping. Both cameras also offer 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes, delivering more highlight and shadow details for flexible post-production. Additionally, the drone can shoot 2.7K vertical videos, a first for the Air Series, catering to social media content creators.

This extended duration presents a significant advantage for capturing breathtaking footage during longer drone sessions. The new battery charging hub supports power accumulation, enabling the transfer of power between batteries to extend flight time when a power supply is unavailable.
