You are experiencing what I find with the Hassleblad camera when filming the sea, in that the whites are always over-exposed. It is necessary to adjust the exposure be -0.7 (or more) but then the rest of the image becomes too dark. For stills over water where there is white I sometimes even...

Sporadically with my M3 it wont descend while I have the craft moving horizontally. I have had to stop it and then it descends. Weird.

I have noticed that on occasions my M3 doesn't seem to be flying very fast. I mostly fly in S mode, and normally can romp along at full stick, but sometimes it just doesn't want to go fast. I can't provide any diagnostic info, sorry.

Why would anyone make oval lenses? I have never seen any and I am an optical designer.

I wasn't aware that was the purpose of the telephoto. But I agree with you there is no point having RAW for it as the quality is not that good.

I'm still in discussions over the matter. Had to send them a screenshot video of the problem, plus photo of the SD card. Waiting for the next comment ...

Thanks for sharing your experience. It occurs even if it is a few feet away. How does one 'open a ticket' with DJI?

No I am using single shot. Have you tried single shot to see if it has the delay?

Just been for more flying. Even with the internal storage selected there is the 3 sec freeze. So I am at a loss. Are there any M3 owners out there who are experiencing the same thing? Put the drone in a continuous sweep and periodically take a photo and any delay should be obvious.

Ah OK, thanks for letting me know. I guess I will have to read the manual to find out how to transfer the data from internal to SD. My modus operandi might have to be use the internal storage then periodical when there is a lull in photographing transfer it over to the SD. I'm about to go...

Yes it is on 'Bypass'.

Because the freezing happens after the shutter is activated, then it can't be busy trying to focus for 3 secs. The captured photo is that when the shutter was pressed not when it unfroze. My understanding is that only the cine model has the onboard storage. I note Belkin make an SD card that...

Ah yes, the M3 exhibits underneath avoidance.

With a Mavic 3 I know the obstacle avoidance works well flying around them when they are stationary (such as with trees, etc. But what if the bird is hovering and an object approaches like a mast of a boat? Doing a test with it hovering and approaching with my body there is no attempt by it to...

My setting is for RAW only, I have bought a Samsung Pro Plus and the shutter freeze seems to vary from <1 sec to 3 seconds!!! This is with a new card. I can't photograph moving scenes with these sorts of delays that I never experienced with Mavic PP.
