    Is this "banding" or propellers?

    Thanks @Meta4! I should have figured that!

    Is this "banding" or propellers?

    I was out shooting today and when I came back I found some of my images, particularly those shot in the 180-degree panorama mode, had these bands as you can see in the image. There are no filters on the lens. Anyone know what is causing it?

    Terrible Exposure of Panorama

    Thank you for all your help--I have found that by using manual exposure, rather than auto, it helps things a lot. This surprises me, since I'd have thought that the exposures would vary too much, but apparently not.

    Terrible Exposure of Panorama

    Thank you; @DaleD, I'll try doing as you suggest, which of course is how I'd shoot a pano with a proper land-based camera. And @Dave Maine, I don't think there's a problem with the focus, since the individual images are all focused properly.

    Terrible Exposure of Panorama

    I have had my Mavic Pro since it first came out, and have never quite got a decent panorama out of it. Whenever I shoot a panorama, the exposure goes all haywire, and the resulting image is pretty much unusable. Is there something I'm doing wrong, are there conditions under which a pano should...

    Hi from New Zealand

    Finally broke down and ordered a Mavic on 16 Jan and it arrived on the 25th. After a few quick trial runs at home I took it out in the field yesterday and got this image of the nearby Elephant Rocks. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    I find that photos have the correct date, but videos are off...by 66 years (they show the day and month correctly, but the year is 1951...
