FLYING SKYDIO X2 / THE FLIGHT SCREEN
Camera Settings (cont.)
Color Camera Settings
This menu also provides access to the settings for X2’s color camera. You may change your camera settings at any time before or
during flight.
NOTE: Changing the camera settings before launch may cause Skydio X2 to return to the preflight screen and re-calibrate its
vision system. Some video capture settings (such as video resolution and frame rate) cannot be changed while the drone is
actively zooming. See the Zoom section on page 55 for more information.

** Skydio X2 can record video in either AVC (H.264) or HEVC (H.265). Different mobile devices and personal computers have
different compatibility with these encoding standards. Be sure to choose the encoding standard that is best suited to your desired
workflow. *** When Photo Interval is enabled Skydio X2 will continuously capture photos at the specified time interval until the setting
is disabled or the flight ends.
**** The fastest interval photo setting when capturing in raw DNG is two seconds. You may capture a photo every one second when
capturing in JPG mode.
***** DNG photos are not displayed in the media tab of the Skydio Enterprise app and may be retrieved directly from the microSD
card.
NOTE: Digital 16x zoom (8x for thermal camera) is not supported in all video resolutions and framerates. Reference the Zoom
section for more information on compatibility.
