PF (Pan Follow): The camera only follows the handle (pan axis) to the left and right, while the other two axes remains unchanged.
PTF (Pan&Tilt Follow): The camera follows the handle in all four directions, namely up, down, left and right, with the roll axis remaining horizontal.
Lock Mode: The camera lens always faces in a fixed direction and remains unchanged no matter how the handle is rotated.
FPV (All Follow): the camera direction follows your movement in all three axes.
FFW (Flash Follow Mode): same with FPV but with faster follow speed
10. What are the functions of the trigger button?
Double click: head back to center
Long press: enter PTF mode, release to return to previous mode (you can use the Feiyu Scorp app to customize the function of long pressing the trigger button: Lock mode/PF/PTF/FPV/FFW)
Triple press: Selfie Mode (pan axis rotates 180° and switch to Pan Follow mode)
