Use split-screen, night vision and thermal fusion

Select a split-screen preset with R3

A paired display keeps two useful views available at once. For example, a wider view can retain scene context while a closer view supports identification. Choose the combination around the question you are answering rather than filling the screen with every available feed.

1. Enter the camera view in DJI Pilot 2.
2. Press and hold R3 beside the screen to open the split-screen selection.
3. Use R1, R2 or R3 to select the corresponding preset.

Build your own side-by-side combinations

The SBS Library supplies the layouts you can place in the preset area. Arrange the combinations your crew uses repeatedly so switching views during a mission follows a familiar pattern.

1. Open More SBS Combinations, then Set SBS Combination.
2. Choose a combination from the SBS Library.
3. Press, hold and drag it into the area above the library.
4. Tap Close to apply the arrangement.

Switch between a single view and multiple views

Once a split-screen layout is active, a short press of R3 toggles between single-view and multi-view displays. The distinction between a short press and a press-and-hold matters: one changes the display state, while the other opens preset selection.

Use the multi-view display to orient yourself, then the single view when you need more display area for a specific detail. Return to the paired view to reconnect that detail with the surrounding scene.

Enable Night Scene and choose its level

Tap the moon icon at the upper right of the camera view to open Night Scene settings and enable the feature. The levels shown are Auto, Low (20fps) and High (5fps). The frame-rate labels are important when comparing a moving scene: a five-frame-per-second image updates less often than a twenty-frame-per-second image.

Night Scene Mode and Night Scene Level are separate settings. Mode offers Auto, On and Off; Auto switches Night Scene on or off with ambient light. Level Auto adjusts the frame rate with scene brightness. Enabling NIR Illumination also enables IR Cut Filter, which takes effect at 11× camera zoom and above.

1. Open the moon-icon Night Scene menu.
2. Enable Night Scene and choose Auto, Low (20fps) or High (5fps).
3. Compare the subject detail and displayed motion before settling on a level.
4. Adjust IR Cut Filter and NIR Illumination as needed in the demonstrated controls.

Open visible-light fusion in the thermal camera

Fusion combines the thermal view with visible-light information so a heat pattern can be related to physical detail. Start by identifying the thermal feature, then use the visible contribution to understand where it sits on the subject.

1. Switch to the thermal camera.
2. Tap Fusion at the upper right.
3. Open Visible-Light Image Fusion.
4. Choose Disable, PIP or Overlay.

Tune PIP and overlay enhancement

Both the picture-in-picture and overlay workflows offer Fusion Enhancement. The demonstrated choices are Edge Enhancement and Heat Source Overlay, with a slider for the fusion ratio. The ratio changes the presentation of the combined image; it is a display choice to evaluate against the scene.

The right controller dial also provides quick fusion-ratio adjustment. In PIP, the thermal image sits in the centre of the visible view; beyond the thermal camera’s maximum zoom range, the images are shown as a fused view. In Overlay, fusion begins when visible-light zoom reaches 2× or higher, as the on-screen notes explain.

1. Choose PIP or Overlay.
2. Open Fusion Enhancement and compare Edge Enhancement with Heat Source Overlay.
3. Adjust the fusion-ratio slider while watching a recognizable feature.
4. Retain enough visual context to identify the feature and enough thermal detail to explain the observation.

Create a repeatable inspection sequence

SkyFlow's suggested practice sequence is to frame a recognizable subject, establish its wider context, inspect the area of interest and then compare the fused and thermal views. Save observations in a sequence that another team member can follow without having watched the flight.

For a crew handover, record the chosen split-screen presets and Night Scene level alongside the imaging task. This makes the next session easier to reproduce and separates a deliberate camera setup from an accidental display state.
