The deadzone is a small area around the game controller’s Right Stick control that doesn't respond to stick movement. This causes a delay and sporadic movements when the mouse is used for the Right Stick control. Making the deadzone smaller delivers significantly sharper and smoother looking around movements in the game. With no deadzone there is no delay with the mouse and all movements are very straight and accurate. Therefore, adjustment of the deadzone is strongly recommended.
To decrease the Deadzone size, do the following:
1. From the game controller connected to the PHANTOM-S, press Select + Start (PS3), Share + Options (PS4), or Back + Start (Xbox).
2. Press the PS3/PS4 'Triangle' or Xbox 'X' button (right/left adjustment). Repeatedly press the PS3/PS4 'O' or Xbox 'B' button until you see a slightly right movement on the screen. (no dead zone), Press the 'Triangle' or 'X' button again to save.
3. Press the PS3/PS4 'Square' or Xbox 'Y' button (up/down adjustment). Repeatedly press PS3/PS4 'O' or Xbox 'B' button until you see a small up movement on screen. (no dead zone), Press the 'Square' or 'Y' button again to save.
4. Press: Select + Start (PS3), Share + Options (PS4), or Back + Start (Xbox) to exit. (refer to attached diagram)
