3D Sensing and Vision System 
Spark is equipped with a 3D Sensing System 1, consisting of a 3D infrared module at the front of the air-
craft, which scan for obstacles during flight.
The main components of the Vision System are located on the underside of\
 the aircraft body. This in-
cludes a camera 2 and a 3D infrared module 3. The Vision System uses 3D infrared module and image 
data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precis\
ion hovering...

Follow the steps below to use the Vision System:
1.  Ensure  the  aircraft  is  in  P  Mode  and  place  the  aircraft  on  a  flat  surface.  Note  that  the  Vision  System 
cannot work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations. 
2.  Turn  on  the  aircraft.  The  aircraft  will  hover  in  place  after  takeoff.  The  aircraft  status  indicators  will  flash 
green twice, which indicates the Vision System is working.
Powered by the 3D Sensing System,...

Return-to-Home (RTH)
The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are
three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low-Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This following section describes the
three RTH scenarios in detail.
GPSDescription
Home Point
If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is 
the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength 
is  indicated  by  the  GPS  icon  (   ).  The...

Obstacle Avoidance during RTH
Spark will Return to Home at a flight speed of 10 m/s and cannot avoid obstacles when RTH is triggered and 
the aircraft is further than 100 m from the home point.
Spark can sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, prov\
ided that lighting conditions are 
adequate enough for the 3D Sensing System and RTH is triggered when the \
aircraft is less than 100 m from 
the Home Point. Upon detecting an obstacle, the aircraft will...

 Obstacle sensing will turn off and the aircraft will ascend to the Fail\
safe altitude automatically 
and will fly to the Home Point at a flight speed of 10 m/s if the obstacle can still be sensed after 
the aircraft has flown backward for 10 m.
 The aircraft will repeat steps 1-3 if the obstacle is sensed again during ascent. 
 The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles above, beside, or behind the aircra\
ft.

3. Tap on the subject you want to track then tap to confirm your selection. If the subject is not 
automatically recognized, drag a box around it. The box will turn green when tracking is in progress. If 
the box turns red, the object could not be identified and you should try again.

Coordinate Mode
Tap a specific location on screen. The aircraft will travel to that point at your current altitude, then hover in 
place.
Using Coordinate Mode
Ensure that the Intelligent Flight Battery is fully charged and the airc\
raft is in P Mode. Follow the steps 
below to use Coordinate Mode:
1. Take off and ensure the aircraft is hovering at least 3 ft (1 m) above ground.
2. Launch DJI GO 4 and tap  . Select TapFly, Coordinate Mode, then follow the prompts.
