Taking photos while crossing mapping area while returning to home

[SIDC]

We recently started to use the 3E at my work for mapping and aerial photography. Does anyone know why it keeps taking pictures even when it's crossing the mapped area to return to home? Is there a way to turn that off?

It is Altitude Optimization.

It is a straight line of oblique images taken from an outside corner to the middle of the mapped area.
If you are receiving corrections and do not use this and only use nadir images, you will have a vertical shift of your data.
These oblique images help the photogrammetry software "solve" for vertical.

You can also use double grid oblique or the multi-oriented image acquisition schemes to "solve" this vertical shift.

To turn it off, use the Altitude Optimization toggle in the flight planning in DJI Pilot 2, but by doing so will have a vertical shift.

If you do not need or care about vertical then just turn it off.

I hate to piggy back on this discussion, but thanks for clarifying this. I had been using dronedeploy for my current mapping job (stipulated by the client initially), but started having problems with it. So we started using the DJI Pilot 2 mapping instead. I like it a LOT better than the drone deploy solution. DD doesn't do the oblique images on return, and I had wonderd why DJI was doing them.
