Is this really the Mavic photo quality?

Was planning to go out today but had some front vision sensor calibration errors, so I wasn't up very long. Took a few random shots, but when I load them up they look.. disgusting?

Forget the flat boring scene, it just seems extremely low quality? I forget if this was before or after I tapped-to-focus, but someone mentioned to me elsewhere that the latest versions automatically focus now?

Did you "tap to focus", after you took off?

I appreciate the help, but I clearly mentioned the state of the tap-to-focus (I'm not sure) and that I was also under the impression it now autofocuses.
 
I beleive it only autofocuses when pressing the video record button and not the picture button.

I could be wrong on this one and need someone to validate that statement.

I calibrated the vision sensors using DJI assistant... SEEMS it's not failing anymore (fingers crossed!) but I won't be able to bring it out tomorrow... it's snowing a bunch :(

I am unaware of any link between forward vision sensors and photo quality. The forward vision sensors are for obstacle avoidance.

I assumed as much as well - but it was also simply referencing why my flight time/trials was cut short. Didn't know if there were potentially more faults so I didn't really fly it too far away or for very long...
 
It might have been the low light - but do a full reset of all the things that can affect camera quality - as shown in this video - and the mavic will be at the best it can then.

 
It's mainly a bit out of focus, you can still almost get a usable (if boring) image from the RAW
