Wide-angle shots
Wide-angle shots allow you to experiment with a more impressive field of view, providing the perfect opportunity to display breathtaking scenery. As a result, this type of shot is ideal for spectacular landscapes.
Telephoto downloads
Telephoto shots are ideal for any subject far away, capturing detail with less distortion compared to a wide-angle shot. This type of shot can also be used to capture landscapes and intricate details of the subject, foreground and background.
Creative compositions
Wide-angle shots
When it comes to immersing your audience in your environment, wide angle shots are great at capturing many levels of detail from the environment. This makes for exciting landscape compositions, where a short focal length and wide field of view can capture larger areas from a short distance from the scene.
Telephoto downloads
Telephoto shooting lets you make your subject stand out while blurring the foreground and background.
Dramatic space
Wide angle shots
Wide-angle shots have a shallower depth of field and are ideal for capturing larger scenes that include towering landscapes and architecture.
Telephoto downloads
Telephoto shots use an increased focal length that visually compresses the distance between the subject and the background. This compression effect enhances the parallax effect for a classic cinematic look. When a wide angle shot is combined with telephoto shots, a stunning Dolly Zoom is produced.

Wide-angle shots
While Point of Interest (POI) is an exciting drone mode, wide-angle shots taken this way do not compress the foreground and background.
Telephoto downloads
Telephoto shots in POI mode provide an extra layer of visual impact due to foreground and background compression.
Secure Photo
This is where a telephoto shot really comes in handy. Many aerial photographers often have to fly their drone close to the subject when shooting, which can make it difficult to get a perfect shot from a safe distance. With the Mavic 2 Zoom, photographers can take pictures from a distance without disturbing their subject and without putting themselves in danger. This means you can take pictures of the natural environment from a safe distance and capture unique moments that would otherwise be difficult to achieve at close range.

Wide-angle shots are ideal for revealing general scenery, while telephoto shots provide more creative shooting options. Whether you're capturing a unique moment in nature, looking for a way to capture a subject from a distance, or simply trying to make shooting safer, the Mavic 2 Zoom has you covered.
