Announcing the Mini 3 Pro, Ferdinand
Wolf, Creative Director at DJI said:
“Today, we share the integration of
excellent flight capability, intelligence,
and imaging versatility into our ultra-
lightweight aerial camera. DJI Mini 3

from earlier Minis is the camera gimbal,

TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Kieran showed Nathan how to set up his camera
for the best results when shooting interiors
CAMERA SETTINGS
Kieran says… Interior
photography is mostly
about composition and
observation – the camera
settings are relatively
simple. I use Manual
mode and apertures that
are generally f/10 or f/11.
ISO100 is fine when you’re
shooting on a tripod, as the
exposure can be as long as
you need it to be.
LEVEL
PLAYING FIELD
Kieran says… I use the
camera’s virtual horizon as
a guide, but predominantly
rely upon my own
judgement. This is because
interior elements aren’t
always perfectly level,
particularly in a period
property. If the floor and
ceiling don’t match up, for
example, use your eye to
frame what looks best.
REVIEW IN-CAMERA
Kieran says… Review
compositions in Live View
and playback, and zoom
in for a closer look. This is
how you’ll spot things like
patches of empty space or
messy cables. The height
of your camera and your
lens’s field of view make the
space look very different to
when you’re standing and
surveying the room.

SHOT THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAIL
#1
Kieran says… Interior photography isn’t
always about framing an entire room. Clients
often call for images that showcase small
details to emphasise features or character.
Nathan shot these images by embracing my
macro lens’s super-shallow depth of field.
