DJI's Zenmuse Z3 is its first drone camera with optical zoom

As with the rest of the Zenmuse line, the camera's main functionality is integrated into the main DJI GO app, allowing you to swipe to to zoom in and out, for example. Previously, if you wanted to zoom in using a drone, you needed to fly it closer. And yes, it can still be used as a live video feed while you're flying. The Z3 uses the same camera sensor as in the Inspire 1 and Phantom 4, meaning it offers the same 12-megapixel still shots and Adobe DNG RAW support. Although it's not the primary purpose, the Zenmuse Z3 can be used for shooting video too -- 30fps at 4k resolution.
