One-button Dolly Zoom is one of the new features of Anafi but Parrot have not explained how it can be used in details. It is under Smartdronies flight mode. To use it, sufficient GPS is needed. First step is to select the main object from the screen. Need to be aware that Anafi will fly backward so it is important to ensure the path is clear. When shooting 4K and lossless zoom, the Dolly Zoom footage is around 5s long. To get the best effect, choose a scene with distance background with good amount of details.

 

The choices for color style are “Natural” or “P-log”. Natural gives pretty good balance of color saturation and exposure. “P-log” captures larger amount of details from shadow areas which allows more controls during post editing. I am not yet managing how to use P-log also not aware of any LUT for Anafi is available. So at this moment “Natural” style is more easy to use.

 

Thanks to Antonio Souza for the demo footages
