6.3 Selfie
In Selfie, Solo flies a smooth up-and-back path to capture a subject in a cinematic establishing shot. Before starting
a Selfie shot, always ensure that there is a clear path 200 feet (61 m) behind and above Solo. Once you activate
Selfie mode, Solo flies up and away from the subject to a point 164 feet (50 m) from the subject at 82 feet (25 m)
altitude. You can change these default distances with Selfie Options.

follow (up and back) is clear.
