    Central bright zone in raw (DNG) from Mavic Air

    Oh cool! Happy to hear you found the solution. You gave me a bit of new hope. Have just followed your steps, got a trial of the Affinity. Unfortunately - doesn't do the trick for me. I guess will need to stick to the the patchy filters for now. this software is quite nice btw it has this...

    Xiaomi's entrance in the drone market. DJI should seriously pay attention to their customers now.
