The lens of the camera includes low dispersion aspherical elements, that reduce chromatic aberrations and flare, and guarantee optical excellence to such a small, smart and versatile airborne imaging system. Although you can film and take pictures using your device as ANAFI Ais only controller, we recommend you always use the Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your device, for the best controlled, most precise, and safest filming and photos-shooting flights. Making videos By default, ANAFI Ai and FreeFlight 7 are set to start recording a video as soon as ANAFI Ai takes off. This literally means all you have to do, to start filming, is to fly ANAFI Ai into the sky!
However, depending on your filming objectives, ANAFI Ai and FreeFlight 7 offer a wealth of settings, from full auto to manual professional options, for you to make the most of every situation. If required, tap the Mode box in the bottom bar of the HUD, to select the video mode. Main filming options are twofold, and accessible from the HUD of FreeFlight 7. First, select a video resolution (4K or 1080 p) by tapping the corresponding box of the HUD. Video mode menu Second, select a framerate (fps frames per second) value from the corresponding box of the HUD. Tap the video settings box again to close the sub-boxes and confirm your choices. 54 ANAFI Ai Available fps values depend on the resolution you have selected, and on whether you have activated the HDR option:
4K:

1080 p HDR 24, 25, 30, 48, 50 and 60 fps 24, 25 or 30 fps 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60, 96, 100 and 120 fps 24, 25 or 30 fps Video format menu When you are happy with your settings and your framing, press the hard shutter button on the right of Parrot Skycontroller 4 (or tap the soft shutter button of the HUD) to start filming. The round soft shutter button of the HUD turns into a square and displays a double timer:
time since the video started (main timer, top) and remaining filming time (small timer, bottom). Press the hard shutter button of the controller (or tap the soft shutter button of the HUD) again to end the recording. The soft shutter button of the HUD comes back to steady, red and round. The timer disappears. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 55 ANAFI Ai Taking photos To access the photo options of ANAFI Ai tap the Mode box in the bottom bar of the HUD. Six photo modes are available on ANAFI Ai: Photo (single shot), Timelapse, GPS Lapse, Panorama (4 formats), Bracketing and Burst. Thanks to its 48MP CMOS sensor, ANAFI Ai produces three main picture formats:
rectilinear (up to 16MP) or wide (48MP or 12 MP) JPEG;
- wide 48MP or 12 MP JPEG and DNG (Digital NeGative: Adobe open standard RAW format);
composite panoramas (JPEG), up to 32MP. Note that the HDR option is only available for 12MP photos. First, select a photo mode by tapping the Mode box of the HUD. The options appear on your device. Tap a photo mode to select it. When a photo mode is selected, the soft shutter button of the HUD appears as a full white circle. There is no option for the Photo (single shot) and Burst modes. Selecting the Timelapse mode opens seven options: 0.5 sec (12MP only), 1 sec, 2 secs, 4 secs, 10 secs, 30 secs and 60 secs. Selecting the GPS Lapse opens six options: 5m, 10m, 20m, 50m, 100m, and 200m. Selecting the Panorama mode opens four options: Vertical, Horizontal, 360 and Super Wide. The Panorama mode is the only photography mode which requires the drone to be flying before you can activate the shutter. Refer to the next section, Generating Panoramas, for additional details about the Panorama mode. Selecting the Bracketing mode opens three options: 3 photos (-1 EV, +0.0 EV,
+1 EV), 5 photos (-2 EV to +2 EV) and 7 photos (-3 EV to +3 EV). When one of these options has been selected, the soft shutter button of the HUD displays the number of the corresponding option. Second, select a photo format from the corresponding box of the HUD. Tap the Imaging box to call the photo settings boxes. Tap the Resolution box to select 48MP or 12MP. Tap the last box on the right of the screen to access the photo formats. 56 ANAFI Ai JPEG RECT, JPEG WIDE, DNG+JPEG (RECT or WIDE) JPEG RECT only JPEG RECT only JPEG RECT only JPEG RECT, JPEG WIDE, DNG+JPEG (RECT or WIDE) JPEG RECT, JPEG WIDE Available photo formats for each photo mode are as follows:
Photo (Single):

Tap a format (JPEG RECT, or JPEG WIDE if available, or any DNG+JPEG format if available) to select it. Tap the Imaging box again to close the sub-boxes and confirm your choice. Photo formats: JPEG RECT Photo formats: DNG+JPEG When you are happy with your settings and your framing, press the hard shutter button on the right of the Parrot Skycontroller 4 (or tap the soft shutter button of the HUD) to take a photo. In Photo mode, the screen flashes in black and white to confirm a picture has been taken. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 57 ANAFI Ai In Timelapse mode, the screen flashes in black and white to confirm a picture has been taken. 0.5 to 60 seconds later, depending on your option choice, the drone takes another photo, and so on until you press the shutter button again to stop the Timelapse. In GPS Lapse mode, the screen flashes in black and white to confirm a picture has been taken. Control and move ANAFI Ai: when the drone reaches any point on a 5 to 200-meter bubble around the initial photo, depending on your option choice, the drone takes another photo, and so on until you press the shutter button again to stop the GPS Lapse. Between each shutter action, a green progress bar, at the bottom of the HUD, lets you estimate the distance the drone must cover before the next shot. For additional details on the Panorama mode, refer to the next section, Generating Panoramas. In Bracketing mode, the screen flashes in black and white to confirm 3, 5 or 7 pictures have been taken. In Burst mode, the screen flashes in black and white to confirm 10 pictures have been taken in the span of 1 second. About ANAFI Ai photo formats:
JPEG RECT:
JPEG WIDE: 4:3 aspect ratio,48MP, 84 HFOV zoom is disabled for this format DNG+JPEG: 4:3 aspect ratio, 48MP, 84 HFOV zoom is disabled for WIDE option 4:3 aspect ratio, up to 16MP and 75.5 horizontal field of view (HFOV) The DNG+JPEG option produces at least 2 files (1 DNG, 1 JPEG) for each shutter action. As other RAW picture formats, DNG is a very useful format for professional photography processing and workflow. Indeed, RAW formats retain all the information gathered by photography sensors, contrary to JPEG formats which are compressed and processed renderings of this comprehensive information. In consequence, RAW pictures such as ANAFI Ais DNG are heavy files, but they offer the very best post-processing and retouching possibilities. 58 ANAFI Ai Creating Panoramas ANAFI Ai panoramas are generated automatically through the gallery of FreeFlight 7, based on a series of pictures taken by the drone. The generation of a panorama, regardless of its format, implies three phases:
collecting the pictures, in flight;
downloading the pictures from ANAFI Ai to your device;
stitching the pictures together to create the panorama, on your device, through the gallery of FreeFlight 7. Before shooting a panorama:
Make sure you are not flying lower than 10 meters (30ft) over water. Make sure no object nor subject are present in a 10 meters (30ft) radius around ANAFI Ai. Bear in mind ANAFI Ai locks the exposure (refer to the AE Lock section of this guide for additional information on exposure locking) of the frame with which you start your panorama. For this reason, Parrot recommends you always frame the main subject of the intended panorama before pressing the shutter button. Bear in mind ANAFI Ai will not enable you to proceed with a panorama if the drone is short on power (capturing a 360 Panorama takes ANAFI Ai 85 seconds). To capture a panorama, select the Panorama box from the imaging Mode menu of the HUD. Then, tap the panorama type you want to select it: Vertical, Horizontal, 360 or Super Wide. Panorama types When you are happy with your framing, press the hard shutter button on the right of the Parrot Skycontroller 4 (or tap the soft shutter button of the HUD) to begin the Panorama capture. ANAFI Ai starts taking pictures and the bottom of the HUD displays a progress bar which fills with green as the capture unfolds. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 59 Panorama in progress Panorama types capture characteristics:

Like other medias, Panoramas are marked with their distinct icon and a green download box, which shows the size of the corresponding series of pictures. The icon boxes at the top center of the screen enable you to filter your media. iOS SD Card Gallery displaying all Panorama types Tap the green box of the Panorama you want to generate to start downloading the corresponding series of pictures to your device. When the download is complete, FreeFlight 7 displays a page from where you can delete the downloaded photos: tap Keep to keep the originals on the microSD card; tap Delete to delete them. Select its tab on the left to access the FreeFlight 7 Phone Gallery, which contains only the media you have downloaded from ANAFI Ais microSD card. ANAFI Ai 60 iOS Phone Gallery with 3 out of 4 icon filters activated For each Vertical, Horizontal and Super Wide panorama capture, you will be able to For each 360 capture, you will be able to generate three different preset panoramas generate one panorama only.

FreeFlight 7 displays the following screen. ANAFI Ai iOS panorama generation page Tap Generate to create the panorama (or browse the individual pictures with the slider on the left). Depending on the power of your device, FreeFlight 7 may display one or two resolution options, up to 32 MP. Select the option you want to launch the generation. The time this process takes also depends on your devices power. For the highest quality 360 panorama (32 MP), it can take several minutes. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 61 ANAFI Ai 62 iOS panorama format options When the panorama creation is complete, FreeFlight 7 adds the result at the top of the corresponding photo folder. An example of Tiny Planet ANAFI Ai An example of Tunnel v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 63 ANAFI Ai GIMBAL TILT AND ZOOM CONTROLS ANAFI Ai features a controllable gimbal (180 tilt range, from nadir to zenith) and a 6x zoom. This section presents these features and the way to activate them. Gimbal tilt control ANAFI Ais gimbal tilt control is activated through the left trigger of Parrot Skycontroller 4. It is available in all video and photo modes, and in all manual piloting modes. To aim the gimbal toward the ground, push the tilt control trigger down. To aim the gimbal toward the sky, pull the tilt control trigger up. To reset the gimbal tilt to a horizontal position, press the optics reset button on the left of Parrot Skycontroller 4 (this action also resets the zoom factor of the lens to 1x). Zoom control ANAFI Ais zoom control is activated through the right trigger of Parrot Skycontroller 4. It is available in all video modes, and in JPEG RECT photo mode (with an impact on the final resolution of your pictures). WIDE photo modes imply the use and rendering of all 48MP delivered by ANAFI Ais CMOS sensor: zoom is deactivated in both WIDE photo modes. To zoom in on a subject, push the zoom trigger down. To zoom out, pull the zoom trigger up. Pressing the optics reset button on the left of Parrot Skycontroller 4 instantly resets the zoom factor of the lens to 1x (this action also resets the gimbal tilt to a horizontal position). The HUD of FreeFlight 7 presents precise, decimal-by-decimal zoom information at all times, in the middle of the left side of the screen, as shown on the following screenshots. 1080p 1x zoom 64 ANAFI Ai 1080p 4.6x (max lossless) zoom As already mentioned, ANAFI Ai presents no lossless zoom capabilities for pictures: the zoom is deactivated by design in WIDE formats (JPEG and DNG+JPEG), and it has an impact on the resolution of the pictures in JPEG RECT format. By contrast, ANAFI Ai offers impressive lossless zoom capabilities for 4K (2.3x) and 1080p
(4.6x) videos. 4K 1x zoom 4K 2.3x (max lossless) zoom v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 65 ANAFI Ai ADVANCED IMAGING ANAFI Ai is set to deliver high quality and balanced 4K videos and 48MP photos, out of the box. Some image enthusiasts and all professional directors, videographers and photographers, however, will find their way through pro-imaging settings. This section is designed to help you exploit manual settings and develop your filming and photography styles. The Exposure value (EV) is the only setting accessible in the Auto mode, from the Imaging box menu of the HUD. Exposure value (EV) The EV expresses the general darkness or lightness of a photograph or a video. At
+0.0 (zero) EV, ANAFI Ai automatically adapts the shutter speed and the ISO value to deliver a perfectly balanced photo or video: not too dark and not too light. Tap the +0.0 EV box to activate the EV scale. Slide your finger on the scale to adapt your EV toward negative values and darken your picture or video. Use positive values to lighten your images. This can be useful if you want to capture a backlit scene and to fade surroundings in light.
-1.0 EV iOS +1.0 EV To activate further settings, tap the M A box, on the left of the Imaging settings box. The additional settings boxes are unlocked, they stand out in white rather than yellow and M A is replaced by M A. Shutter speed (s) The s value refers to the time, in fraction of second, when the shutter stays open to capture a still picture: it is called exposure time. In Auto mode, ANAFI Ai selects the best shutter speed and ISO value couple, in real time, depending on the scene and available light. In consequence, selecting a shutter speed also deactivates the Auto ISO mode. 66 ANAFI Ai As ANAFI Ais f/2.4 aperture lens lets a lot of light in, even compared to most professional SLR lenses, your drone can achieve very fast s values (down to 1/10000s) and capture very fast action. It can also be used for slow shots, up to 1 second for the photo mode. Note that ANAFI Ai can shoot pictures and videos when it is not flying. You can even hold it in your hand and use it as a premium stabilized 4K video and photo camera. Tap the s box to open the shutter slider. Select a value to exit the auto-mode for shutter speed and ISO. This action also deactivates the EV slider. Set the s value you require, then tap the ISO box to select an ISO value. Experiment! The display of the HUD reflects your settings. If you get lost, tap Auto either on the s or the ISO slider to get back to auto exposure and reactivate the EV slider. ISO value (ISO) The ISO value refers to the sensitivity of the sensor. As we have seen, it is linked to the shutter speed value: both sliders activate when you deactivate the Auto mode and set a value for one, or for the other. The lower the ISO value, the lower the sensitivity of the sensor, and the lower the image noise (digital grain). Therefore, under good lighting conditions, such as sunny daylight outside shots, low ISO values (between 50 and 200) should always be selected. The sensitivity of the sensor increases as the ISO value goes up:
1600 ISO can be used to capture low light interior scenes, or exterior shots at dusk or dawn, for example. By default, in Auto mode, ANAFI Ai constantly adapts its ISO and shutter speed values to the scene it is filming. Setting an ISO value for a whole shot or series of shot, however, is very useful to professional filming. Tap the ISO box to open the shutter slider. Select a value to exit the Auto mode for ISO and shutter speed. This action also deactivates the EV slider. Set the ISO value you require, then tap the s box to select a shutter value. Experiment! The display of the HUD reflects your settings. If you get lost, tap Auto either on the s or the ISO slider to get back to auto exposure and reactivate the EV slider. White balance (WB) White balance deals with the color temperature of the light. Cold lights make the whites look blue. Warm lights make the whites look yellow. By default, in Auto WB mode, ANAFI Ai keeps the whites white, at all times: it adapts its WB value in real time. However, setting a WB value for an entire shot is especially useful for professional filming:
stable WB facilitates the grading (color treatment) of videos. Tap the WB box to open the white balance options. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 67 ANAFI Ai Select the WB option that is best suited for your shooting conditions, your subject, or both. The display of the HUD reflects your settings and helps you make the best choice. Auto WB Incandescent WB Fluo WB Sunny WB Cloudy WB Shaded WB WB 10 000 K WB 2 000 K 68 ANAFI Ai Lock AE As any serious camera, FreeFlight 7 offers the possibility to lock the general exposure of a view, to fine-tune the framing of a shot and keep the desired exposure. To access this function, tap the Imaging settings box of the HUD. Tap the Open lock icon, on the far left of the Imaging menu to lock the exposure value to that of the current view. The icon turns into a Closed lock on a yellow background. A yellow Lock AE box appears under the Next available action box, at the center of the top bar of the HUD. Move ANAFI Ai around or tilt its gimbal to change the frame: the exposure settings remain as they were when you activated the function. Tap the Closed lock icon to deactivate the exposure lock: the icon reverts to Open lock on a white background. Exposure is locked on the sky Lock AE Touch With the Lock AE Touch (or Spot AE) function of FreeFlight 7, you can also lock the exposure of a frame on any detail of any view. To activate this function, follow the Lock AE procedure of the preceding section. When the exposure is locked, touch the part of the frame you want to base your exposure on. A yellow square animates around this spot and the yellow Lock AE box is replaced by a yellow Lock AE Touch box. Refer to the following screenshots for additional details on the logic of this great feature. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 69 ANAFI Ai 70 Exposure is locked on the top of the trees: shutter speed is set at 1/240 s Exposure is locked on a building on the horizon: shutter speed is set at 1/500 s ANAFI Ai HDR HDR (high dynamic range) is another great way to enhance a video or a photo. The HDR option is available for videos (no lossless zoom and limited to 30 fps max in 4K, lossless zoom limited to 2.3x and limited to 30 fps max in 1080 p) and 12MP photos. To activate the HDR option, tap the Imaging box from the lower bar of the HUD, then tap the HDR box. Select HDR On: a HDR notice appears in black inside a yellow box, at the center of the top of the HUD. Press the hard shutter button on your Parrot Skycontroller 4 (or the soft shutter button of the HUD) to start filming in HDR or to take an HDR photo. HDR Off Follow the same procedure and select HDR Off to revert. HDR On Note that you cannot modify EV, s or ISO values when the HDR mode is activated. However, you always keep control over your white balance (WB). Note that activating (or deactivating) HDR halts any ongoing video recording, and starts a new recording with the new setting, after 5 seconds. ANAFI Ai features 2 HDR options: HDR-8 and HDR-10. HDR-10 is only available through H265 video encoding refer to the ADVANCED SETTINGS/Recording v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 71 ANAFI Ai section of this guide for additional details on HDR and video encoding options selection. P-Log The P-Log option is also available through the HDR box. This alternative imaging style makes images a little less contrasted and saturated: P-Log style is ideal for videos you want to edit and process using professional grading tools and filters. P-Log filming style 72 ANAFI Ai PILOTING MODES Tap the PILOTING MODE box in the bottom bar of the HUD of FreeFlight 7 to access the piloting modes options. Tap a mode to select it. Each mode is associated with a specific behavior, which this section describes. Manual flight The Manual flight mode is ANAFI Ais default mode. It enables you to pilot the drone and fully control its camera tilt and zoom. When you release the commands in Manual flight mode, ANAFI Ai stays in position, hovering. Cameraman The Cameraman mode enables you to keep an object or a subject in the center of your frame, while you pilot ANAFI Ai around it/him/her. Frame the object or subject you want to film and fly around. Tap the PILOTING MODE box in the bottom bar of the HUD to access the options. Tap Cameraman to select this piloting mode. Draw a rectangle with your finger on the screen of your device, around the object or subject you want ANAFI Ai to follow or double tap this object or subject. When your target is locked, the blue rectangle turns to green and the orange LAND box at the center of the top bar of the HUD turns red and displays STOP. ANAFI Ais frame centers on your target, inside the green box. Drag the green box to the area of the frame where you want your target to remain at. Fly ANAFI Ai around your target. The drone keeps your target in the part of the frame you have selected. Therefore, if you push the right joystick of the Parrot Skycontroller 4 to the left, ANAFI Ai circles around your target clockwise. If you push the right joystick of the Parrot Skycontroller 4 to the right, ANAFI Ai circles around your target counterclockwise. When the Cameraman mode is activated, ANAFI Ai manages the gimbal tilt to keep the target in the frame. Therefore, the left trigger of the Parrot Skycontroller 4 is deactivated in this mode. However, you can still control the zoom, with the right trigger. When you release the commands in the Cameraman mode, ANAFI Ai hovers and rotates to keep following the target. To end the following of your target, tap the red STOP box at the center of the top bar of the HUD. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 73 ANAFI Ai When no target is selected, or when the following of the target has been ended by the pilot, ANAFI Ais behavior is similar to that of the Manual flight mode. Activate and monitor the Cameraman mode with care: always check your flight plan and the trajectory of your subject are clear from obstacles and safe, always retain visual contact with ANAFI Ai, and always be ready to stop the following (tap the STOP box of your HUD) in case a danger or any sort of unexpected obstacle arises. Touch & Fly: Waypoint Waypoint is the default Touch & Fly mode. It enables you to fly ANAFI Ai to any point on the map. Tap Touch & Fly from the PILOTING MODE box menu. The map of your surroundings opens full screen. The live image captured by ANAFI Ai is minimized in the bottom right corner of your screen. Tap a point on the map to select a destination for ANAFI Ai: this point is marked as a white circle with an orange border. ANAFI Ai immediately starts flying toward the selected point. Use the slider on the right of the screen to control the drones altitude (the orange figure inside the circle) when it reaches its destination. iOS Touch & Fly: AN A FI A i flying to its destination Touch & Fly: POI To access the POI Touch & Fly option, tap the Type box from the lower bar of the HUD, and select POI. In POI mode, press and hold a point on the map to create a point of interest (POI), marked as a white square diamond with a blue border. Control the height of the POI
(the blue figure inside the square diamond) through the slider on the right: this effectively controls the tilt of the gimbal, while you use the Parrot Skycontroller 4 to fly around your target. ANAFI Ai remains focused on the POI. 74 ANAFI Ai iOS Touch & Fly: POI Tap STOP from the red box at the center of the top bar of your screen to halt ANAFI Ai, or to reset a POI. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 75 ANAFI Ai MISSIONS Flight Plan Flight Plan is a powerful tool, which enables you to fully prepare and configure your flights and filming sessions, from home, on the train, in a plane, or anywhere else you can take your FreeFlight 7 device with you. Through an example, this section will teach you the basics of automated flight and shooting management, with ANAFI Ai and Flight Plan. Tap Flight Plan from the PILOTING MODE box menu. The map of your surroundings opens full screen. If you are not connected to ANAFI Ai, the minimized live view is black, as on the screenshots that follow. Find your next dream flying spot on the map. iOS Flight Plan Consider this pointy bit of land, with a lighthouse in the middle. Say you could fly ANAFI Ai and shoot a film there. Lets do it!
iOS: new Flight Plan 76 ANAFI Ai First, select your initial waypoint: ideally, very close to your intended take-off point. Tap the screen to set it. The green circle represents the waypoint, the white figure the altitude of the drone, and the white arrow the direction of ANAFI Ais camera. iOS: initial waypoint Tap the white arrow and hold it to move it around. In this example, we want ANAFI Ai to frame the lighthouse as it starts the flight. iOS: initial waypoint, with the camera framing the lighthouse v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 77 ANAFI Ai Tap the map to set the second waypoint: the distance between the two waypoints appears on the screen. Use the slider on the right of the screen to set the altitude of the waypoint. In this example, ANAFI Ai will climb from 3 to 30 meters between the initial waypoint and the second waypoint. Add waypoints to tour the area and end your Flight Plan where you intend to land. iOS: second waypoint iOS: full Flight Plan The tip of the peninsula is a POI: we want ANAFI Ai to focus on it while it flies around it. Tap it and hold your finger on the screen to call choices (POI/Close). iOS: setting a POI 78 ANAFI Ai Tap Point of interest to add the POI. It appears as a blue square diamond. The figure in the center represents the height of the POI, which you can modify using the slider on the right of the screen. All waypoints turn white as they can now be selected to be linked to the POI. iOS: open waypoints Tap waypoints to link them to the POI. In this example, we want ANAFI Ai to film the tip of the peninsula as it flies around it: we have selected the three waypoints to the left of the peninsula. The arrows of those waypoints have turned toward the POI and are colored in blue the last one which was selected has a blue border around the white arrow. iOS: three waypoints linked to the POI v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 79 ANAFI Ai Tap the POI to confirm your choices. Blue waypoints are linked to the POI, which appears as a white square diamond with a blue border. During the entire blue part of the flight, ANAFI Ais camera will stay focused on the tip of the peninsula, enabling you to achieve the smoothest flyby shoot. Green waypoints remain independent from the POI. iOS: POI Flight Plan Tap a green waypoint to edit it: use the slider on the right of the screen to modify its height; tap and move its white arrow to set the direction of ANAFI Ais camera. For this example, we had the drone point toward the land at most steps of the Flight Plan, and toward the lighthouse at take-off and landing, with a descent from 30 to 3 meters between the last two waypoints. iOS: POI Flight Plan All you have to do now is to close FreeFlight 7, to get to your flying spot, to prepare ANAFI Ai, your Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your device for the flight. Tap the PILOTING MODE box on the HUD to call the options. Select Flight Plan:
the last plan you have set up appears. 80 ANAFI Ai Tap the green arrow on the right of the left bottom bar of the Flight Plan interface to begin the Flight Plan: ANAFI Ai takes off, flies to the first waypoint and starts the Flight Plan. At the end of the Flight Plan, depending on your settings and depending on your version of FreeFlight 7, ANAFI Ai lands at, or hovers over, the last waypoint you have set. That is why, for this section, we have chosen to consider that ANAFI Ais final waypoint is also its landing spot. Activate and monitor every Flight Plan with extreme care: always check your drones route is clear from obstacles and safe, always retain visual contact with ANAFI Ai, and always be ready to stop the Flight Plan (tap the STOP box of your HUD or reclaim commands of the drone) in case a danger or any sort of unexpected obstacle arises. Vehicle LOREM IPSUM TBDeveloped v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 81 ANAFI Ai PHOTOGRAMMETRY MISSIONS About photogrammetry According to the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images. The ASPRS was created in 1934, but the field of photogrammetry has since greatly benefited of the emergence of flying cameras such as Parrot drones. One of the leaders of the field is Pix4D, which became a Parrot Group company in 2012. ANAFI Ai and FreeFlight 7 therefore embark Pix4D technologies which enable existing Pix4D users to seamlessly link their drone to their Pix4D account. New users can use ANAFI Ai to discover Pix4D photogrammetry services, through three offered mapping missions. There are four types of photogrammetry mapping missions: Simple, Double, Circular and Automatic. This section describes the specificities of each mission, and the way to program them.

transport ANAFI Ai safely stored in its case and always replace its gimbal protection before storing it in its case. ANAFI Ai was designed and optimized to fly as is. Parrot therefore strongly discourages the use of any add-on or accessory which could be mounted on, or attached to ANAFI Ai
(feet extensions, buoys, hulls, etc.). In addition to the overweight they carry for the drone and its motors, they can indeed magnetically disturb ANAFI Ai and impair its communications. About Wi-Fi Parrot asks you to switch off your smartphones Wi-Fi connection when flying ANAFI Ai with both the Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your phone: with this configuration, the drone and the controller communicate through ANAFI Ais Wi-Fi network and activating your phones Wi-Fi can only result in interferences. Therefore, your phones Wi-Fi should only be activated and connected to ANAFI Ais Wi-
Fi network when you want to fly the drone using your smartphone as its sole controller. About GPS ANAFI Ai does not need a satellite GPS, Glonass, Galileo synchronization (or fix) to take off. It can therefore be piloted indoor and through cluttered areas, stabilized by its onboard sensors. However, automated and assisted flight modes require both ANAFI Ai and the FreeFlight 7 device (preferably associated with the Parrot Skycontroller 4) synchronization to geocoordinate satellites the Parrot Skycontroller 4 alone has no geo-positioning capacity. For this reason, Parrot recommends ANAFI Ai pilots to always set up, start and finish their automated and assisted flights from wide open areas, as a sports field. About 4K video formats 4K video formats are professional grade media which may not be read natively by slower computers. Shoot in 1080p or use a video converter to turn your ANAFI Ais 4K videos into a more manageable format (like 1080p) if they do not read properly on your equipment. About the smart batteries As you will find out by reading this guide, the batteries of both ANAFI Ai and the Parrot Skycontroller 4 are smart enough to enter a wintering mode when you are not using them v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 11 ANAFI Ai for ten days in a row. This also means you need to wake them up and charge them completely before you fly ANAFI Ai for the first time. About HDMI The Parrot Skycontroller 4 is equipped with a micro-HDMI port, which enables to stream ANAFI Ai images to a screen or to HDMI goggles. Parrot recommends using a certified micro-HDMI to HDMI cable (not included in the box) to connect those external pieces of equipment to the Parrot Skycontroller 4, as uncertified cables could impair the ecosystems Wi-Fi performances. About devices In the following pages, the word "device" refers to the iOS smartphone or tablet on which FreeFlight 7 is installed. About Parrot.Cloud accounts Parrot strongly recommends that you use your Parrot.Cloud account (or create one if ANAFI Ai is your first Parrot drone) to let Parrot store your ANAFI Ai flight data. Sharing your data, even anonymously, benefits the community, as it enables us to improve our products. It also directly benefits all identifiable users in case they need to contact Parrot support teams. In any case, creating a Parrot.Cloud account is mandatory to securely associate your sim card, your drone and your controller, and therefore to your use the 4G function of ANAFI Ai. 12 ANAFI Ai DISCLAIMER age of 18 years. 2.

OA deactivated OA activated and operating optimally OA activated, degraded operation OA activated, but inoperative Parrot strongly recommends deactivating the OA whenever the icon is not green, as in the following screenshot. OA activated and operating optimally The OA is designed to help the pilot, not to replace his control over the drone. Do not lose sight of the drone and always remain focused on its flight. Rely on your own judgement to control the drone and manually avoid obstacles. Be wary of obstacles, in particular people and animals which may find themselves on the trajectory of the drone. Set an RTH altitude before each flight. Feedback needed:
24 ANAFI Ai CALIBRATIONS This section presents the calibration procedures required by the ecosystem: one procedure for the Skycontroller 4s magnetometer and four procedures for ANAFI Ais systems:
- Gimbal calibration
- Horizon correction
- Magnetometer calibration
- Stereo camera calibration (Obstacle detection) Skycontroller 4 FreeFlight 7 may require you to calibrate the magnetometer of your Skycontroller 4 if it has been exposed to a strong magnetic field or if your flying conditions change radically from a continent to another, for example. When a calibration must be carried out, the Skycontroller 4 page of FreeFlight 7 displays a Calibration required alert, as on the following screenshot. Tap the alert to access the following screen and follow onscreen instructions. Skycontroller 4 calibration required Ready to calibrate v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 25 ANAFI Ai Skycontroller 4 calibration in progress Gimbal Access calibration options from the ANAFI Ai page of the dashboard. AN A F I A i calibration menu Use the first option to perform a gimbal calibration, that is more precise than the quick calibration which occurs after ANAFI Ai is powered on. Both the main camera and the stereo camera are calibrated successively. Stereo camera calibration in progress 26 ANAFI Ai Be aware that FreeFlight 7 can require you to carry out this procedure (as it can require you to perform a drone magnetometer calibration) before allowing you to fly ANAFI Ai. Correct horizon (exceptional procedure) Your ANAFI Ais camera has been factory-calibrated with unparalleled precision. Unlike the calibration of ANAFI Ai or that of the Parrot Skycontroller 4, which must be carried out periodically, the camera calibration must not be carried out unless it appears necessary typically, after a crash. If you notice a tilted horizon on all your videos and photos, and if this tilt is always on the same side, access camera calibration to make your horizon perfectly straight again. This feature is accessible from the ANAFI Ai box on the FreeFlight 7 homepage (or from the ANAFI Ai box of the HUD) and from the PREFERENCE Camera menu. Before starting this procedure, you need to position ANAFI Ai on a flat and perfectly level surface, exactly perpendicular to any pattern containing straight lines you can use as horizon references. A half empty large water bottle provides a useful horizon line almost anywhere. When ANAFI Ai is correctly positioned, perpendicular to a horizon, power it on, along with the Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your device, as you would for any flight. Access the calibration menu from the ANAFI Ai page of the dashboard of FreeFlight 7. Select the Correct horizon option. Tap or + until the artificial horizon of ANAFI Ai matches the horizon reference facing the drone. Horizon corrected When you have straightened the tilt of the camera, tap the < icon on the top left of the screen to confirm your setting and exit camera calibration. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 27 ANAFI Ai Magnetometer When the calibration of the magnetometer of the drone is required, and notably each time you change your drones battery, FreeFlight 7 guides you through the following procedure. Magnetometer calibration screen Calibrating the Z axis Calibrating the Y axis 28 ANAFI Ai Calibrating the X axis Obstacle detection LOREM IPSUM TBDeveloped v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 29 ANAFI Ai PRE-FLIGHT CHECKLIST Equipment Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of FreeFlight 7 and that both your Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your ANAFI Ai have been updated with the latest versions of firmware. For the ultimate ANAFI Ai experience, make sure you have the right USB-A cable to connect your Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your device. Make sure ANAFI Ai is fitted with a microSD card with enough free memory space. Make sure all four foldable arms of ANAFI Ai are unfolded. Make sure its propellers are clean, intact and unobstructed. Make sure both ANAFI Ais and Parrot Skycontroller 4s batteries are fully charged. Make sure ANAFI Ais battery is securely installed on the drones body. Make sure the lens cap has been removed from ANAFI Ais camera. Make sure ANAFI Ais lenses are clean if you need to clean them, hold the gimbals between two fingers so that you do not pressure their mechanisms when you clean the lens, and gently wipe the lens with a microfiber cloth. Regulations Flight conditions Make sure the use of ANAFI Ai is allowed where you are intending to fly. Check for potential restrictions regarding the use of Wi-Fi frequencies in the area where you are intending to fly. Check that your flying zone is safe and clear. Do not fly ANAFI Ai at night. Do not fly ANAFI Ai over urban areas or over restricted airspaces such as airports, train stations, power plants, national reserves, and so on. Check the weather: do not fly ANAFI Ai in the fog, snow, or in a wind exceeding 14 meters per second or 50 km/h. Due to the operating mode of its vertical camera and Time of Flight (ToF) sensor, Parrot recommends you do not fly ANAFI Ai low over water and other reflective surfaces (mirrors, glass, and so on). 30 GETTING STARTED ANAFI Ai 1. Charge the battery using the enclosed USB-A to USB-C cable and a USB-A power adapter (not included in the box). Charging times depend on the supply capacity of the adapter. Refer to the Battery charging section of this guide for additional information. Parrot recommends you always run a full charge of your smart battery before flying ANAFI Ai. 2. If you want to use the controller and enjoy the full ANAFI Ai experience, charge Parrot Skycontroller 4. 3. Check that your flying zone is safe and clear. 4. To start the drone, place it on a flat horizontal surface and press the power button. 5. a) If you use Parrot Skycontroller 4, unfold the central part of the controller to power it on, wait for the steady dark blue light, then plug your device to the controller using a USB cable. Parrot recommends you always fly ANAFI Ai with Parrot Skycontroller 4 and a device, for the best flight experience. b) If you do not wish to use the controller, connect your device to the Wi-Fi network of ANAFI Ai, using the Wi-Fi settings card located inside the drones carrying case, shoulder bag or backpack - SSID format: ANAFI Ai-xxxxx. 6. FreeFlight 7 runs automatically on your device and connects to ANAFI Ai and to Parrot Skycontroller 4. 7. Check for controller and drone software updates. 8. Calibrate your ANAFI Ai, your Parrot Skycontroller 4, or both, if required, following the instructions on the screen of your device. 9. Check that your flying zone is still safe and clear, and that no one (people, animal) has approached or is approaching ANAFI Ai. 10. Stay at least 2m (6ft) clear from the drone, press the button and enjoy the flight!
v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 31 ANAFI Ai TAKING OFF Ground take-off Position ANAFI Ai on a flat, even, and clear surface. Power it on, move at least 2m (6ft) away from ANAFI Ai and check that the surroundings of the drone are absolutely clear. Press the button on your Parrot Skycontroller 4. ANAFI Ai takes off and stabilizes at 1m (3ft) from the ground, waiting for commands from the pilot. Hand launch Be especially careful when you hand launch ANAFI Ai. This procedure is safe provided you are not distracted or startled by an outside event with a live drone in your hand: concentrate on what you are doing, but always stay aware of your surroundings. Power ANAFI Ai on and position the drone on your flat, open hand. On the left of the screen of your device, a Handlaunch Available interface appears. Hand Launch Screen Press the button on your Parrot Skycontroller 4, or tap icon on the screen of your device. The drones blades start rotating and ANAFI Ai takes off. It stabilizes, waiting for commands from the pilot. 32 ANAFI Ai FLYING Left control stick (default mode) Right control stick (default mode) Rise Descend Forward Reverse Turn right Move to the right Turn left Move to the left Note that you can modify ANAFI Ais controls through the SETTINGS menu of FreeFlight 7. Refer to the SETTINGS/ Controls section of this guide for additional information. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 33 ANAFI Ai RETURNING HOME To bring ANAFI Ai back to its take-off position, press the Skycontroller 4, or tap the icon on the screen of your device. button on your Parrot ANAFI Ai rises to 30 meters over its take-off point or to the altitude you have set, through FreeFlight 7, between 20 and 100 meters and flies back over its take-off position by default. Refer to the ADVANCED SETTINGS Safety section of this guide for instructions on RTH height configuration. In the Follow Me mode, when the to the position of the pilot. button or icon is activated, ANAFI Ai flies back Precise Home Setting When flight conditions are optimal at take-off, ANAFI Ai can set a precise home for itself, through its vertical camera. In that case, a pop-up on the screen of FreeFlight 7 confirms a precise home has been set, and the home icon of the mini-map turns green. Precise Home Set pop-up ANAFI Ai features a Smart RTH capability: considering its altitude and its distance from its take-off point, the drone computes in real time the power it needs to return home or to the pilot, or to a custom location (refer to the PREFERENCES / Safety / Advanced RTH settings of this guide for additional details on this feature). When short on battery power, FreeFlight 7 alerts you that it will enter automatic RTH mode. If you feel confident you can bring ANAFI Ai back to its take-off point or if you wish to land it at a different location, you can cancel the auto-RTH directly from the alert pop-up. SMART RTH 34 ANAFI Ai Pilot RTH When the Pilot advanced RTH option is selected, ANAFI Ai comes back to the GPS position of the device used to control the drone (whether linked to a Parrot Skycontroller 4 or not) at the exact moment an RTH button is activated or to the last known coordinates of the device, in case it has lost GPS synch. For this reason, we recommend ANAFI Ai pilots not to move, after they have activated an RTH button, when in Pilot advanced RTH mode. Note that when the Smart auto-RTH function is activated in Pilot advanced RTH mode, ANAFI Ai comes back to the GPS position of the device, at the moment of the activation of the auto-RTH function or to the last know coordinates of the device, in case it has lost GPS synch. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 35 ANAFI Ai LANDING Setting up for landing Fly ANAFI Ai directly over a flat, even, and clear surface, then press the ANAFI Ai lands. button:
Hand landing Be especially careful when you hand land ANAFI Ai. This procedure is safe provided you are not distracted or startled by an outside event with a live drone approaching your hand: concentrate on what you are doing, but always stay aware of your surroundings. Fly ANAFI Ai between 60 cm (2 ft) and 120 cm (4 ft) directly over your open hand. Press the button of your Skycontroller 4: ANAFI Ai lands on your hand. After each landing, FreeFlight 7 displays a flight report as the one in the screenshot below. 36 ANAFI Ai SMART LIPO BATTERY Battery removal Battery installation ANAFI Ais smart LiPo battery is preinstalled on the drone. It can be charged whether it is installed on ANAFI Ai, or not. To remove the smart battery from the drone, unfold the arms of ANAFI Ai and press the push-button located under the battery and disengage it from the drone. To install the smart battery back on the drone, unfold the arms of ANAFI Ai, slide the battery firmly into the drone until the you feel and hear the battery clicking into the body of the drone. Check that the battery is tightly secured into the drone. You are set!
AN A FI A i : battery ready for installation Battery charging To charge ANAFI Ais smart LiPo battery, use one of the enclosed USB-C to USB-C cable to plug the battery to its charger, or to:
o a tabletop or laptop computers USB-C port;
o a power banks USB-C port. Full charging time depends on temperature. At 20C, you can expect charging your battery in 2 hours. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 37 ANAFI Ai When ANAFI Ais smart LiPo battery is plugged to a power source and charging, its 4 LEDs indicate in real time its level of charge:
LED 1 flashing:
LED 1 steady & LED 2 flashing:
LEDs 1 and 2 steady & LED 3 flashing:
LEDs 1, 2 and 3 steady & LED 4 flashing: battery is between 75 and 100% charged;
battery is plugged and all LEDs are off:
battery is between 0 and 25% charged;
battery is between 25 and 50% charged;
battery is between 50 and 75% charged;
battery is full. Similarly, when your battery is not installed on ANAFI Ai, you can check its charge level at any time by pressing its power button:
1 steady LED lights up:
2 steady LEDs light up:
3 steady LEDs light up:
4 steady LEDs light up:
battery is between 0 and 25% charged;
battery is between 25 and 50% charged;
battery is between 50 and 75% charged;
battery is between 75 and 100% charged. Finally, the same logic applies when the smart LiPo battery is installed on the drone and when ANAFI Ai is powered on. The number of steady LEDs enables you to estimate your remaining flying time:
1 steady LED is lit up:
2 steady LEDs are lit up:
3 steady LEDs are lit up:
4 steady LEDs are lit up:
less than 8 minutes flying time remaining;
between 8 & 16 minutes flying time remaining;
between 16 & 24 minutes flying time remaining;
between 24 & 32 minutes flying time remaining. Battery care and safety As you can see, ANAFI Ais smart LiPo battery is as high-tech as any other element of your flying 4G robot. It features a wintering mode, designed to increase its durability and facilitate its care. Ideally, when not in use for a prolonged period, batteries should be stored half-charged. When not in use for 10 days, ANAFI Ais smart battery discharges itself, if required, to 65%
charge, over a 48h period. In other words, after a maximum of 12 days without use, this smart battery enters hibernation with a charge level which never exceeds 65%. If you leave your ANAFI Ai battery for 12 days, you will find out its power button does not activate the charge level LED indicators. The battery needs to be charged to exit the wintering mode and start operating as described in the earlier paragraphs: this behavior preserves the battery over time. Parrot recommends you always run a full charge of your smart battery before flying ANAFI Ai. 38 ANAFI Ai
Like all other LiPo batteries, ANAFI Ais smart battery must be handled, transported and stored with care:
never leave a battery unattended while charging;
never expose a battery to extreme temperatures, neither hot, nor cold;
never charge a battery which is still warm from use (wait for at least 20 minutes);
never use or recharge a damaged or swollen battery;
always store your battery in a dry, ventilated place, at a temperature close to 20C;
always carry your battery in a fire-retardant bag or case (unless it is installed on ANAFI Ai: it can then be transported with the drone, inside its carrying case). Finally, note that ANAFI Ais smart battery will only allow charge in ambient temperatures between +10C and +45C, and that using ANAFI Ai in temperatures approaching 0C will reduce its flying time. To minimize this slight drop in the smart batterys capacity, keep your battery as warm as possible before starting a flight in a cold environment. If the behavior of your battery is not consistent with the elements contained in this section, and if you cannot get it to power your ANAFI Ai, you must hard reset your battery: plug it to a power source with the enclosed cable, then keep the batterys power button pressed for 15 seconds (regardless of the behavior of the LEDs), and release the button. The batterys LEDs flash quickly, one after the other, alternating green and red: the hard reset is successful!
v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 39 ANAFI Ai MEDIA RETRIEVAL Installing and retrieving the microSD card The micro SD card slot of ANAFI Ai is located on the left side of the drone, under the SD cover. To install the micro SD card, lift the cover open and insert the micro SD card straight into the slot, shortest side first and connectors turned to the back of the drone. To retrieve the micro SD card, press the card and extract it. 40 Retrieving photos and videos Use a microSD to SD card adapter to transfer videos and photos you have taken with ANAFI Ai to your computer. Slide the microSD card into the adapter and use the adapter how you would use any other SD card: access your videos and photos through a card reader or the SD card slot of your computer. Copy your videos and photos to the hard drive of your computer to edit, store, and manage your media. Compatible microSD cards Refer to Parrot online documentation for an updated list of ANAFI Ai compatible microSD cards. Direct media retrieval (drone to computer) You can also retrieve your media directly from ANAFI Ai, without extracting the microSD card. ANAFI Ai Use the enclosed USB-A to USB-C cable to connect the drone (USB-C) to a USB-A port of your computer. Power ANAFI Ai on. ANAFI Ai mounts as any other external drive: copy your media from the DCIM/100MEDIA directory to your computers hard drive. When you are done managing your media, eject ANAFI Ai as any other external drive. When plugged in to a computer and powered on, ANAFI Ais battery discharges itself. This means you must recharge your smart battery after you have retrieved your media, even if it was fully charged when you began the procedure. FreeFlight 7 Gallery Finally, you can manage your media and download them directly from ANAFI Ai to your device with the Gallery of FreeFlight 7. The Gallery also lets you:
- preview videos, without downloading them to your device;
format microSD cards (refer to the next section of this guide);
create panoramas (refer to the Creating panoramas section of this guide for additional details);
share media. To access the Gallery from the dashboard of FreeFlight 7, tap the Gallery box. If ANAFI Ai is powered on and connected to the device (directly or through the Parrot Skycontroller 4), the FreeFlight 7 Gallery displays the microSD card media, by default. Tap any media to preview it. Tap any green media download box to transfer the corresponding media to your device. Access the media you have downloaded to your device by tapping the Local box, at the top of the interface. MicroSD card formatting Tap the Format SD card button of the SD Card screen of FreeFlight 7 Gallery to access formatting options. Select one of the following options. v.beta0.9 published on September 29, 2021 41 Confirm your selection from the next screen to launch the formatting. Note that both options delete all microSD card contents. ANAFI Ai 42 ANAFI Ai INTRODUCING FREEFLIGHT 7 The HUD (head-up display) interface of FreeFlight 7 is the ultimate companion to ANAFI Ai. It enables you to access all the outstanding features of ANAFI Ai, from the screen of your device, at the touch of your thumbs.
