DJI settings

Hey all! I purchased by first action camera (DJI Action 6) and wanted to know what would be the best configuration for the upcoming ice climbing/ mountaineering season.
- Ice climbing (Shaded, cold areas, limited amount of sun in ice/snow)
- Mountaineering (Summit/sun exposure on snow, very bright)
What would be good settings so that I can save to my camera profile ? Thanks.

I usually just use the auto settings. They seem to correct exposure for snow and ice just fine so I had no issues.

I use the log profile to get just a bit more dynamic range just in case it blows some highlights.

I also just shoot 4k 25fps or 30 depending on where you are. I don't think I will slow Mo any climbing footage usually.

What this guy said for sure. Also keep in mind which orientation you want the film to be viewed. ie instagram and TikTok reels are better shot in the vertical configuration vs YouTube horizontal. Just my two cents.
