    Bad quality on DNG vs Jpeg photos

    I find vignetting to be a feature of the dng’s not present on jpeg’s

    Bad quality on DNG vs Jpeg photos

    Thanks! Definetly using dng. When i open the micro sd on mac, jpeg and dng are clearly separated. i just took about 60 pics using every position of sharp, contrast and sat with No filter from -2 up to +2. Dng looked way better right away with no filter, And I think u r right- the dng didnt...

    Bad quality on DNG vs Jpeg photos

    HI, i've been flying maybe 6 months. I had some experience 25 yrs ago with using nikon raw photos, photoshop etc. and back then raw was great for me. The dng's coming from my mavic for me are oversaturated over contrasted and seems unfixable in lightroom. i gave up on them, but now having...

    Never run out of juice in the field

    thx. I just seem to remember that too fast of a charge ( using word fast loosely) might be hard on batteries and wasn't sure if these boosters were quick charging or just like a wall plug taking a few hours to recharge a battery. I have four batteries and if i'm flying near power i plug the...

    Where to turn OFF RTH?

    Where to turn OFF RTH?

    haha - sry wasnt clear. I was thinking of just flying ahead of myself and friends 6 ft off ground maybe backwards to record us at times and only 10 ft ahead on a trail with tree cover. So, I thought i would try setting the rth battery warning to 10% giving me more flying time ( although i've...

    Where to turn OFF RTH?

    I find this frustrating. I want to fly MP along a tree covered trail. I thought of setting lost signal to hover and my battery rth below 30%. I flew in my backyard down to around 20% battery when set on 10 and even though rth was set for 10 while MP 10 feet from me, it started to return to...

    Victoria area pilots out there?

    Yes, I know this stuff isn't passed through yet, but if 5.5 km is already in effect then i'm happy. I only glanced over it....i just wondered how limited it is up there using the existing airmap; I just looked it up ..... -anyway, if you are a new flyer, always do a flight check, and don't fly...

    Victoria area pilots out there?

Victoria very limited but if new rules for Canada go through the distance from 'aerodromes' is gonna be 5.5 Canada Gazette – Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) which will be opening up some...

    What I discovered regarding photo vs video recording...

    Hey. I"ve been mostly filming in 4k - pausing in flight, and focusing multiple times throughout the flight, and pulling stills using final cut pro, and blowing them up using gimp resize. Also doing lots of stitching for pans which I love. I"ve been happy enough with the quality. I'm not too...
