The DJI Go app provides the option to select a variety of center points. Center points are cross hairs that show the exact center of the screen. This can be helpful when taking aerial photos to set up the photos of your subject. It can also be helpful when taking cinematic videos that need the drone to fly in a specific path like railroad tracks.
The center points have color options of white, yellow, red, blue, green, or black. It is best to choose a center point that will contrast with the color of the setting that you are flying around. For example, if you are flying over water the blue center points may not be as visible so yellow or red may be better options.
