But at 720p, the image won't be as sharp as we have become accustomed in the past 5 years or so. With a really high frame rate like 240fps, when you play it back at 24fps, you get really smooth slow-motion effects. The only time I can think of that it might be useful is if you want a really high frame rate (fps) like 120-240fps in order to create slow motion in post.

IMHO 720p has no valuable use anymore, as the other formats are so much sharper and as easy to handle in post production and rendering etc.

If you see black bars on top and bottom, then likely the image isn't cropped, and you are seeing the full image. When you view an image/video shot in a 16:9 ratio on a monitor/screen that is 4:3 ratio, part of the image from the left and right sides are cut off because of the cropping that takes place to fill the screen from top to bottom. It's a slightly wider format than the older more square looking monitors/tvs with a 4:3 ratio. HD (1280x720) or 720p (921,600 pixels) has a ratio of 16:9 (the ratio of most computer/tv screens these days). I will give a short synopsis of each format below: The differences are minor, and not noticeable to most people. The accurate labeling would be 4096x2160= DCI 4K and 3840x2160=UHD (Ultra HD). In the DJI specs, I believe they incorrectly call 4096x2160 "UHD (4K)" and 3840x2160 "4K". In my opinion, the "labeling" DJI uses in their specs are a bit inaccurate, as UHD and 4K are two separate formats, and are often referred to interchangeably. A full HD image is 1920 x 1080 for example. The first part of each mode is the size of the image (Width x Height). The P4 offers the following video modes or settings according to DJI Phantom 4 specs:įHD: 1920×1080 24 / 25 / 30 / 48 / 50 / 60 / 120p To start, we will refer to size/quality/resolution as "size". It's complicated to answer because their are many variables to consider when deciding what video size/quality/resolution and fps (frames per second) to shoot at. I'm no pro either, but I have a little bit of understanding and can offer my 2-cents.
