Problems with DJI Spark: not all capture intervals are available and the drone does not follow the programmed route perfectly
This morning I flight with the Spark and noticed two problems.
1) I did a manual flight and wanted to capture photos at 3 second intervals. It's something I've always done but this morning I went to select the value and I noticed that there were intervals of 10s - 20s - 30s (I don't remember exactly if the values were these three, surely the first was 10s and not c 'were lower intervals). Is this a problem with the current version?
2) Another problem I've noticed lately is that if I program a mission to make a map the Spark doesn't go straight, but keeps correcting the position trying to follow the programmed route. What's wrong? If I do the same mission with the Mavic Mini, the course is perfect. Do I have to change some parameters in programming the mission? It's a problem I've noticed recently, initially I never noticed this behavior.

Nothing has changed with respect to MSDKv4 drones in many releases (DJI has abandoned this version of their SDK). Are you able to get the interval to what you like in DJI GO?
There are many possible reasons for this discussed here: https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052533153-Why-does-the-drone-fly-off-course-or-make-jerky-movements-during-certain-mission-plans-
The spark is a very low-end, old, and inexpensive drone so I think you may need to reset your expectations on its performance and reliability.
I know that the Spark is old, I mainly use the Mini but it happens that I still have to use the old model with all its limitations.
1) I cleared the app cache and reconnected the Spark now, all the intervals appeared again (2s, 3s, 5s, etc....). I don't know what happened, but now it's back to working as before.
