Soon after launching a Pearl White Edition of the Osmo Pocket 4P, DJI has released the largest firmware update so far for its amazing dual-lens handheld gimbal camera. The 4P is the most ‘useful’ camera you can buy and I’m happy to see DJI improving it with regular updates.
So what do you get with the new firmware?
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Firmware Update: V01.02.1149
New Features & Major Upgrades
- 18x Maximum Zoom: Expanded digital zoom capabilities up to 18x in both Photo and Video modes.
- Scene Presets (Stage & Sunset): New automated presets instantly adjust camera settings based on your environment to maximize video quality in tricky lighting.
- Intelligent Highlight: Automatically detects and records highlight-worthy moments during capture. You can also mark them manually during playback and quickly share them via the latest DJI Mimo app.
- Improved ActiveTrack: Refined tracking algorithms for a more stable and reliable ActiveTrack experience.
Workflow & Media Transfer
- Auto Media Transfer: Photos and Live Photos are now automatically pushed to your phone’s camera roll the second you finish shooting. (Highlight Live Photos are also supported on compatible devices).

- Powered-Off File Management: You can now plug the camera into a computer or an OTG-compatible smartphone via USB to manage files while the device remains powered off.
Image Quality & Camera Optimisations
