I am writing to inquire whether there is a method available to view drone-captured photos in real-time before they arrive at the dock.

    TOnly photos taken when the drone is in DRC control can be uploaded in real-time. Photos taken during waypoint missions cannot be uploaded in real-time.

    Is there any other method besides DRC control to upload photos in real-time? Could you please provide information on alternative methods.

    and

    I'm curious if it's possible to execute the 'flyTo' action after entering DRC control mode.

    There are two methods to control the camera at the dock. One is through the use of flight route missions. The other method is by using the Payload control - Start capturing feature. By using the Payload control - Start capturing method, the media files generated from capturing photos can be uploaded to OSS in real-time. Media files generated from capturing photos through flight route missions cannot be uploaded in real-time. Apart from these methods, there are no other ways to capture photos.

    Does the content on this page (https://developer.dji.com/doc/cloud-api-tutorial/en/api-reference/dock-to-cloud/mqtt/dock/dock1/drc.html#payload-control-start-capturing) match what you referred to as the "Start capturing method"?

    The description states: "Command to stop capturing. Currently, only panorama mode is supported."

    Does this mean that panorama photos will be taken? If not, will regular photos be captured?

    In order to set the type of photos to be taken, you will need to utilize the **Payload control - Switch Camera Mode** feature
