You're not crazy. Yes, there is a problem. All over the image where a region does not have high local contrast. Yes, this is though you even exposed more than just ETTR. Yes, my cellphone with same sensor size also does better (at even lower bitrate for 4K video). And yes, since RAW photos are...

This is indeed what the footage often looks like and they probably apply a similar noise reduction now. Especially vegetation gets very mushy while houses and similar structures seem far less affected. As a result the image is very unleveled regarding noise and detail and sharpening is also...

Thank you for taking the time to do this and for sharing the results! But I do not agree on the conclusion. A framerate of 1x/2x the shutter speed is common and usually no issue. If the video image is exposed well at 30 fps with 1/60 s each frame, then there is no light missing. We use ND...

It's eye-catching how many of us use manual slow shutter speeds in combination with filters. I'll take off my ND-PL for a while. Is the bold sentence related to the filter usage? Why should the processor work differently with filters? Of course you get more mush with trees close to the copter...

With 1536p the amount of pixels is 50%. So with 45 Mbps you'd still achieve a better compression ... But it'd be sad if one was not able to set it to 60Mbps as well. My guess: while you might avoid some artefacts, it's better to watch and save 4K. Especially because you won't loose more color...

I didn't try 2.7K yet. I'm using 4K. At the moment at 24 fps - to leave more bits per image for encoding ... and therefore be able to observe/analyse the watercolor issue more independent from compression. But I'm curious: Does 2.7K result in a cropped or a resized image?

I'm fully satisfied with sharpness and detail in the RAW photos from my Mavic. JPEG is crap - of course, since I already know this from photography. No model of all brands/manufacturers I own and have seen is able to create fine JPEGs out of cam. It's acceptable as a quick result. And of course...

If only ... focus would be the matter. While it's important to focus correctly, I'm afraid, it isn't the issue here.

Thx to certain people to get this thread back on track. This is not about general quality and capability of the Mavic. It's about a fault resulting in varying image detail/quality - even with the same Mavic in the same environment with the same settings.

You got me wrong. I was afraid of DJI applying stronger NR - implicitly because shutter times got quite slow ...

Mmmh. Why should filters have an influence? But it's right; I'm using filters as well ... manual shutter speed, max 1/120 ... Is this some kind of "low shutter speed means dark environment, therefore increase NR" by DJI?

Just wait for it ... and tell us, what you did to get it.

The JPEGs from the Mavic are crap. RAW is a whole new level in comparison (even with this small sensor). You have to deal with more obvious warm spot (/color vignette), but detail is great and the effort worth it - my .02. I can show examples as soon as being back home from work.

As sad it is that we have to deal with this as nice is it to have people looking for the best way through. =) Post #512 describes pretty well how denoising, flat profiles and compression might affect each other in a bad way. While I agree in principal and accept non-perfect images because of...

This is exactly what I'm doing and thinking. Need more testing, but to be safe for the moment and get some nice results without doing tests only ... Interesting. I do have similar problems. And very often I'm not able to increase sharpening from 0 to +1 ... Then I have to decrease (jumping to...
