Camera Issue - Capture Failed error

[SeanR]

So I took the spark out just now to test out the AEB and Shallow Focus picture modes however I was unable to take any photos as I kept getting a small yellow error box saying "Capture Failed - shooting is currently not permitted". No idea why this is happening, but I'd like to figure it out.

P.S. I did double check and I do have a functioning SD card in it.

Did you format the SD in the Spark from the GO4 app or on the PC ?

I actually just figured out the issue. I had it in sport mode....silly me...

I even contacted DJI Support and they told me it was because I was in a "Class C" zone, which of course is not accurate.

Lol, at least the message could be much user friendly. Good to know. Never tried that, usually sport mode means go back home quickly, battery is low and wind is not helping.
