DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Firmware Adds 18x Zoom and iPhone Background Sync

DJI has released firmware version V01.02.11.49 for the Osmo Pocket 4P gimbal camera. The update introduces 18x zoom capabilities, dedicated stage and sunset shooting presets, and automated background media syncing for modern iPhone hardware. The software package is rolling out globally through the official DJI Mimo application.

The newly added 18x digital zoom operates during standard photo and video recording, excluding slow motion and time lapse modes. Operators capturing distant subjects can use zoom levels between 12x and 18x combined with ActiveTrack 8.0 algorithms to maintain stable target tracking. Two environmental profiles automate camera settings. Stage mode calibrates exposure, autofocus, and audio input to handle dark venues and changing concert illumination. Sunset mode protects dynamic range, retaining color depth across high contrast warm highlights.

Background media syncing automates file delivery to Apple devices operating iOS 26.4.1 or higher, with DJI recommending an iPhone 16 or newer for optimal transfer speeds. When the camera enters an idle state, it uploads captured stills and Live Photos straight to the mobile photo gallery without interrupting shooting sessions. The camera also employs machine learning to detect key actions within recorded video clips, creating standalone Live Photos that transmit even while the smartphone screen remains dark.

Firmware V01.02.11.49 sharpens mid telephoto footage during 4K recording at 30fps and smooths camera transitions across zoom ranges. Direct local file sharing is active for compatible Huawei hardware through the playback menu. When turned off, the camera connects to PCs or OTG phones via USB mass storage mode for physical file management. Further improvements enhance gimbal balance on telephoto focal lengths, refine external video output over DisplayPort, and optimize HDR playback on the built in touchscreen.
