    Hangar AutoPilot Focus Issue with Mavic

    I'm experiencing a focus issue with DJI Mavic Pro while executing a waypoint mission using Hangar's AutoPilot software. Focus works fine in the DJI GO 4 app. I tried switching the modes between Manual, Auto, and Continuous auto, with no success. Pressing the screen where I want to focus will...

    Constantly out of focus a little bit

    No matter where I try to "tap to focus" on and even when trying focusing on hyperfocal distance of 10 meters, camera catches clear focus and then immediately refocuses slightly back which results in all my videos being a little bit out of focus. It can be clearly seen for example on this video...

    Why are photos not focused??

    Hi everyone, I just recently bought a mavic and have noticed the image quality is less than what I expected. Please see attached photos for your review. The background of my photos seem out of focus and have a smugey look, even with the slightest cropping trees look like they were painted...

    What is a near-perfect focal point?

    I know, focus has been discussed to death here - but here's my question: Is there a nearly perfect focal distance that you can set the camera to upon takeoff, then switch to manual and just leave it? Implied in this question is that one would raise the Mavic to the equivalent height and simply...

    Check out the soft spots on the right side of the frame. Should I send it in? (fighter jets flyby)

    Hello all, I recently received my Mavic Pro after months of waiting like a lot of us. I am noticing that the right side of my videos and pictures as well sometimes look very soft (some people call it watercolor effect). The glass is clean and I am focusing using center focus C1 button. I am...

    DJI Care Refresh Process from Start to Finish - MAVIC

    Hey all, I recently had to ship my Mavic off for repair and I made a quick video about the entire process. Documenting emails, procedure and timescales. Hopefully it may be of interest to some. Thanks, -Aidan

    Can the Mavic Pro be set to focus like the P3P does?

    Title says it. Can the MP be set to focus as the P3P does during video recording, without any input from me during flight? Thanks!

    Partial Focus Issue (After Firmware Update)

    Hi all, Hoping someone here will be able to shed a light on what’s happening to some elements of my footage. Yesterday I installed the new firmware and the DJI GO 4 app and took my Mavic out for a spin. Once I got my video footage back to the editing suite I noticed some really awful looking...

    Smooth focus?

    Wondering how you more experienced guys handle focusing on a shot that starts out close to a subject and slowly backs away, or vice versa. It seems to me that roughly half of the shots I want to take usually involve a drastic but gradual need to refocus on subjects. Currently I have C1 set to...

    Vibration when focusing

    Hi everyone. Had my Mavic Pro since November and use it mainly for photography but lately I've been shooting video and have noticed that when focusing, I am getting a vibration in the footage I have done a factory reset, reset the gimbal, reset the IMU, done a manual gimbal reset via DJI...

    Remember to focus

    I've seen so many videos (especially when the Mavic came out) where they talk about remembering to focus. I shrugged, who doesn't remember to focus? Apparently me. The issue I expected to have the least amount of problems with ended up annoying me the most.

    Tap to Focus

    While I may eventually be habituated to remember to tap to focus, I'm wondering if DJI could add a voice reminder similar to the "home point has been recorded, check it on the map". How about, after taking off in GPS mode there would be a voice reminder "tap to focus"? Just a thought ...

    Tap to Focus. Is this really a good Idea for the Mavic?

    As a professional Aerial and Terrestrial Cinematographer trust me I get focus and the benefits that shallow depth of field can provide. In fact when I fly for the movie industry that's exactly what they want (for most shots). In those cases I fly my Inspire and someone else (with a big monitor)...

    FlyLitchi: Camera Out of Focus

    Hi all, The Mavic Pro is my first DJI drone so I'm quite new to all of this. It's been pretty great so far. So here is my problem: camera is out of focus on FlyLitchi waypoint missions. I have been flying some FlyLitchi waypoint missions. The first few missions were great, image quality was...

    4K footage for the Mavic fans, Cowboy Fans, or people concerned over the "soft" look of the Video...

    I got my drone on Tuesday and FINALLY had a chance to fly it yesterday afternoon. I wanted to see how the 4K quality looked. One thing i noticed is, by default one of the "C" buttons in the back (I believe C1) is assigned to Focusing the camera in the center of the video. So as long as I...

    Mavic Focus Example

    An example of the necessity of focusing the camera once airborne. From my dewy, morning flight just as the wind started to pick up. It appears to me, without knowing for sure, that as the Mavic camera initializes it center focuses. In this case on the wet blades of grass.

    Camera Focus Functions - Manual Focus & Continuous Auto

    Just saw the following info on camera focus on the Mavic FAQs on DJI's website. It seemed to answer or hint at an answer to a couple of questions I still was unsure of. It seems there will be a manual focus option with a focus slider and it looks like the Mavic can continuously autofocus on a...
