What the hell? Im shooting in 4k/30fps. How would this even happen? How would this file be 46mb shooting at 4k/30fps?

Dang. First it was getting noise out of this M2Z and now this. No wonder my footage looks like crap.

This info also came for MediaInfo

I was recording
4k.30FPS
100ISO
1/60 Shutter
ND16 Filter
All that was perfect exposure/etc
D-Cinelike

I didn't know it was recording the internal storage on the drone, I wanted it on the Internal Card, but it saved to the drone.

The photos I took are also somehow missing in action. So weird.
 
Select the SD card you insert into the drone. If that doesn’t work send it back to the retailer.
Totally, thanks. What Im wondering is why are the settings different because it was stored on the internal drive, VS the SD card that I thought I selected. That should change nothing. Thanks for the reply.

How are you getting the file onto the computer?

It looks like you may be looking at a cache file and not the original full sized video. That would make the most sense for this situation. If you were recording at 4k then the video should be in 4k which it isn’t here.
