None, Stop&Turn, BackTurn and Adaptive.

You have to dig deep in to the PC Groundstation manual to find that, it's in a diagram at the top of page 30: http://download.dji-innovations.com/dow ... n_v3.0.pdf

Love this quote from the PC manual (kind of important!):

"Please note that when you set a waypoint above water such as lake/sea/river, the default altitude the map shows will be at the bottom of the water body. Please be careful in setting altitude over water."

"The map will show the BOTTOM of the water"????????????

Huh?
I think DJI lost something in the translation.

As for what each of the turns are, just watch a video that shows them.

I'm unclear whether that actually means setting a waypoint of 20m above a body of water that is 21m deep will likely result in the downing of the aircraft but it's worth be careful at least

None - Just stops at turnpoint
Stop&Turn = Arrives at TP stops for a set time then does a stationary piroett turn and goes to the next TP - Slowest, wastes most battery life-
Back Turn = Its should say "BANK" Turn it does a smooth banked turn before the TP ... which makes it overshoot or arcs beyond the straight line path on its way to the next TP...
Adaptive = its a bank turn at/on the TP ( ie doesn't go beyond the TP.- just Cuts the corner)

Will do some illustrations to make clearer...
