                The Phantom 4 saves photos in JPEG or DNG (RAW). The Phantom 3 similarly comes with a 12-megapixel sensor and its ISO range will take you from 100 to 1600. The camera is capable of shooting in single shot, burst, auto exposure, and time lapse, but it doesn't support HDR like the Phantom 4.Aug 30, 2018

                The first and most important difference between the two Phantom models is obstacle avoidance. The Phantom 3 has two cameras. It has one camera for video and one for stabilization. With the Phantom 4, they've added three more cameras for improved stabilization and obstacle avoidance.Mar 13, 2016
