The reviewer claims that common frame rates like 24 or 25 fps cause drone footage to stutter, recommending 30fps instead to eliminate this issue while maintaining a natural film look.

To achieve a natural motion blur, the reviewer emphasizes following the 180-degree shutter rule (shutter speed at double the frame rate). He also highlights ND filters as a 'must-have' to maintain this rule and achieve correct exposure during daylight.

The reviewer notes that 4K 100fps slow motion offers superior quality compared to 1080p 200fps on the Lito X1. However, for the absolute best slow-motion results, he recommends shooting in 4K 60fps in regular video mode and slowing it down to 40% in editing software.

For maximum flexibility and detail in photography, the reviewer advises shooting in RAW format with a 4x3 aspect ratio (to use the full sensor) and 48 megapixels. However, for low-light scenes, 12 megapixels will produce a cleaner image.

The reviewer highlights the importance of specific adjustments in Cine mode's gain and expo tuning, such as setting a low max angular velocity (20 deg/sec), specific yaw smoothness (around 12), high brake sensitivity (80-100), extremely low expo values, low gimbal tilt speed (10 deg/sec), and max tilt smoothness, to ensure smooth, controlled, and cinematic drone shots.

While auto settings might provide slightly more dynamic range, the reviewer warns that they cause inconsistent exposure changes throughout a shot and drift from the 180-degree shutter rule. He offers a workaround by locking exposure (tap and hold the screen) and adjusting the EV meter to correct brightness in auto mode.

Equipped with a 1/1.3-inch 48MP sensor, the drone produces impressive footage with good color, detail, and dynamic range. It supports 4K 60fps HDR and 4K 100fps slow motion video.

The reviewer states that to extract the absolute best quality from the DJI Lito X1, users must shoot in D-Log M, acknowledging that this necessitates learning color grading techniques.

The reviewer advises maintaining the lowest possible ISO setting to achieve the cleanest image, as increasing ISO will introduce noticeable noise in darker areas of the footage.

The reviewer recommends enabling the overexposure warning (zebra stripes) to prevent blown highlights and using the grid for better composition. Additionally, he suggests reducing sharpness and noise reduction to 2 in style settings to achieve a more natural 'film look' and avoid a 'digital look' common with DJI drones.
