just got the P4 out and I don't see where that feature is. 

Hell it took me 10 min to figure out where the flight modes where.

Old firmware update but I can't imagine they removed it since then.

Photoshop elements wanted to distort and add random crap to every pano I tried to stitch together.  So F that.  I did one manually.  I don't recommend it.  I also realized I screwed myself by using a ND Gradient filter.  Not good for panos.  Really messes up the exposure.  It's really hard to come back from and I used it on all of the panos.  Common sense should have told me that.  The pano u did manually was only 3 images.  The second one I attempted was 9.  I got 30 seconds in and quit.  Anyway.  Here are a few photos from the flight yesterday.  Pano first.

According to DJI I am running all current firmware.  Remember DJI app runs on my controller.

Yeah I assumed you were.  What I meant is that they introduced panos back in 2017 (I think that's what the video said).  I doubt they removed them since.  So your pano options should still be there with all of the other options.

Edit - that video states the panos were introduced in a firmware release on 12/25/17. 

Edit again - I didn't up answering my own question though.  So the .DNG (RAW) files open up in Photoshop at 4000x3000 so they are right.

I don't understand why it wouldn't be there.  Are you sure you're not missing it?  Maybe you're in video record mode and not photo mode? 

Assuming yours looks like the example earlier. 

Step one is make sure you're in photo mode.
Two - photo options
Three - middle tab
Four - open up that drop down list I circled

Bed time for me.  Curious how this turns out.

This is my issue with DJI....to get to these functions, you have to take time and hover...burning flight time.  That is why I just fly in GPS mode,  no POI or tracking...just takes too long to set up...

Wanted to go back to this.  I have no idea how to use POI.  Never tried.  Never thought about it.  Not a clue.  And as far as the flight modes... They're a huge pain in the ass.  I've done I think one of them successfully.  I actually find it easier to use Litchi instead of DJI Go 4 to pre plan a flight rather than set up a special mode/meneuver.

Wow.  You don't have any options there at all.  This is what mine looks like.  There is no reason yours shouldn't be extremely similar.

Turns out you need to insert a memory card  for these to appear.

Interesting...

Glad all of this at least got you to give your drone some attention.  Haha

yeah, nice to pull controller out of the case after a month and it is fully charged...shocker. 

I like that Auto Exposure Bracketing function, I am going to use that for sure.     In my old pro photog days, I used that in the studio a lot, very helpful tool.

I use the AEB a lot.  That last set of pictures I posted I used it.  Still getting the hang of merging them in post.  I feel like I'm always doing something wrong.  I'm never 100% happy with my final results.

I am getting frustrated with the drone.  It just will not stay true.  It veers off, usually to the right.  And it won't hover without slowly rotating.  Gotta look in to it some more.  I've calibrated everything.
