BLURRY IMAGE IN SOME SPOTS / HOW TO FIX IT

[MrMavic]

If you have complaints like I did with blurry image in some spots and sharp in others, this will explain why, and how to easily fix it.

Good stuff. So I'm being told to go opposite to all the preps to do colour grading now ... <sigh>.

The softness issue I have has nothing to do with N/R (well, yeah, there's that too...) it has to do with the camera being consistently soft on the left. That's optical. Gets back today per UPS.

Hopefully DJI's next version of Mavic has a better camera. It's such a brilliant aircraft.

Just leave the sharpness set at +1 - The Mavic camera applies it's own noise reduction at the "0" setting and below. Just don't go below the setting of +1 on the Sharpness setting. I'll be shooting in Cinelike / Manual IOS / +1 - 0 -0
For those that don't know, if you have a iMac, iPhoto has an easy to use photo editor.

So, as an example, I recently took the attached picture with my Mavic and I can see parts of it being blurry (circled in red marker) and parts of it being sharp. Is this the kind of problem that your suggestion to set sharpness at +1 (minimum) solves?

It looks like it be yes. The NR that it uses is pretty intense.

In my case setting the sharpness to +1 really helps but also I can see that the video is more noisy even though ISO is set to 100. I can reduce the noise in post with neat video plugin but it take quite a long for 4k video to process even 30 seconds of footage. Any tips?

Its a matter of what you want. If you post process the only options are better softwareband/or faster hardware.
