It also sports a Dolly Zoom feature that automatically adjusts focus while zooming.

Both the drones support Hyperlapse, Hyperlight for better low light photography, ActiveTrack 2.0 for following subjects automatically during flight, and four panorama modes (Sphere, 180 degree, horizontal, and vertical) as well.
