Camera and Gimbal: With the Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+, you’re shooting 4K video at up to 60 frames per
second and capturing 20 megapixel photos that look crisper and cleaner than ever attributed to its up-
to-date 1-inch CMOS Exmor R sensor. The latest mechanical shutter and auto focus are available for a
better aerial shooting experience.

Return-to-Home (RTH)
The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are
three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes
these three scenarios in detail.
GPS Description
Home Point
If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point
is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal
strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status
indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.
Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will
be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Return-
to-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote
controller signal connection is re-established.

Low Battery RTH
The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that
may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately
when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The
aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The
user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds
for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from
the Home Point.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough
to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s
orientation during the landing process.
The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below:
Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on page 33 for more information) or
tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to
initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use
the remote controller’s control sticks to control the aircraft’s position to avoid a collision during the Smart
RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH
button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH
Aircraft can now sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacle during FailSafe RTH, provided that the
light condition is ideal for the Obstacle Sensing System. The details on how the aircraft will behave during
obstacle avoid is listed below:
1. Aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 65 feet (20 meters) ahead.
2. Aircraft stops and hover then start ascending vertically to avoid the obstacle. Eventually, the aircraft will
stop climbing when it is at least 16 feet (5 meters) above the detected obstacle.
