    Unbinding Dilemma

    Slightly different but similar issue. Bought the new Mavic 3 smart controller and getting the unbind message as apparently the M3 is "bound" to my initial, included, controller. Suggestions? Should add–nothing in the manual about binding.

    Nice battery charger, 4 at once.

    Don't forget to buy the AC adapter. Otherwise you'll not be able to plug it in.

    You CAN store your Mavic batteries on the charger without damaging them

    That's one end of the spectrum, but what's the other—how many charges should a battery accept before its life is affected?

    You CAN store your Mavic batteries on the charger without damaging them

    Agreed, this is an interesting topic and as an engineer, what is said about the slow discharge of the batteries is correct; also the fact that leaving them on the charger makes no difference, given the charger stops charging once a battery is full. But I have offered my drone to the local fire...

    How large can you go and still have a sharp photo?

    As some of you suggest, "sharpness" is in the eye of the viewer. I printed an 8-foot long panorama from a Mavic1 that looks great from about 4 feet. For up-close sharpness, printers want 300 dpi. A 20 MP camera has roughly 5,000 horizontal lines/pixels/dots, depending on your reference, which...

    EV adjustments

    "I think"..."I believe"... and similar sentence beginnings are all guesses or opinions, not based on knowledge. There are some very knowledgeable people on this forum and it's OK to let them provide a real answer we can all learn from. While you're technically correct that EV can be used in all...

    EV adjustments

    Amazing how many people respond to a question with "I think..." Or, "no, I'm not running the same software as you, but that shouldn't matter." And obviously very few understand exposure compensation. Simply put, EV or EC or whatever you choose to call it is a shorthand way of affecting your...

    EV adjustments

    That's interesting. On my screen that does not happen. Are you running the latest version of the DJI software?

    EV adjustments

    In M, the 4D toggle changes the shutter speed, as you show. Now, change to A or S and you will see the exposure lighten and darken, but neither the shutter speed nor the aperture numbers change.

    EV adjustments

    That's a good suggestion I hadn't thought of...here's a better suggestion: DJI actually show you what's changing. Again, thanks for the idea.

    EV adjustments

    Taking some photos yesterday I ran into a question about changing EV. I set the ISO at 100. In Aperture priority, one uses the right thumbwheel and joystick to change aperture and exposure. So with some given values of those two settings, I tried changing the EV. The effect on the image was...

    Fireworks

    It's harder than you think. Attached is a screenshot of a movie from Thomas, WV fireworks in 2018. Used wide open lens, auto-exposure, on then, MPP. Trick is to set focus on a point about the same distance as where the display will take place, then lock the focus. Surprisingly, you can't shoot...

    Mavic2P HDR and Multiple exposure

    This looks to be the solution. Thanks very much. Great help.

    Mavic2P HDR and Multiple exposure

    A month or so ago, someone wrote that new SW/FW allowed you to save individual raw images in HDR. I am running the latest everything, and HDR only saves one composite image as JPEG. They mentioned a selection under camera settings that my SW doesn't seem to have. Any suggestions?
