Bet you're excited to use your new DJI Osmo Pocket. Here's some guide for you in exploring this 3-axis stabilized handheld camera.
Camera
This tiny device can take still images with its 1/2.3-inch sensor, 80° FOV, and f/2.0 aperture at 12 MP with a pixel size of 1.55 μm. Of course, what DJI is mostly proud about is that it can record 4K/60fps video at 100 Mbps, slow motion video at 1080p/120fps 4x.
Make sure nothing is obstructing the gimbal while the DJI Osmo Pocket is turned on or while it is adjusting its angle.

3. Blinks yellow - no serial number
4. Solid yellow - device not activated
Function status

3. Blinks green thrice - 50 to 74% charge
4. Blinks green 4x - 75 to 99% charge

Internal Microphones
Yes, this powered compact camera has two built-in microphones. Its audio quality is okay with noise reduction algorithm, so make sure not to block them while holding the device. The DJI Osmo Pocket also supports external microphone for higher quality recording, but an Osmo Pocket 3.5mm adapter is needed.

MicroSD card slot
When there is a microSD card inserted in the DJI Osmo Pocket, the photos and videos are automatically saved in the microSD rather than on the plugged mobile device.
If you are not using the DJI Osmo Pocket, always put it inside its cover. The camera should face down when keeping the device.
The DJI Osmo Pocket is not water resistant but you can avail Osmo Pocket waterproof case from the DJI Store. Keep the device away from sand and dust to protect the sensors in the motors.
