In this video I’m breaking down DJI’s new “Med-Tele” feature on the Osmo Pocket 3 that just dropped in a firmware update. Basically, DJI takes the built-in 20mm lens and digitally zooms it to give you a 40mm look. I was honestly hyped to test it… until I realized right away there’s no Med-Tele option in D-Log. For the way I shoot (D-Log, 4K 60fps, and then I convert 60 back to 24 for that cinematic slow motion), that’s a big deal. I ran real-world tests: walking shots, selfie mode (which is way too tight at 40mm), parallax moves, and a comparison at a basketball court. The 40mm can look great in normal color, and the depth of field/background separation surprised me, but you’ll also notice more digital artifacts and a punchier, contrasty look that I’m not always a fan of. The other big downside is you lose ActiveTrack in Med-Tele, which matters a lot when I’m filming solo. I end by explaining who this feature is actually for, why the firmware still feels like a step in the right direction, and why I’ll personally keep leaning on the native 20mm for the best quality.
