I mostly make videos and not so much taking pictures but I have tried now for a few days and im not that happy with the quality och the pictures.

When I take picture in normal mode, it gets kinda grey,not much color, sharpness also not that great.

When I take picture in wide angle panorama mode the picture gets much better so in the future i will only do panorama mode and then crop the panorama.

I tried raw file but thats about the same as the jpg in normal mode, maybe a bit better but still nothing i will use.

Do i have to change the settings in normal mode or something to make the picture looks good? I have never changed anything since i bought it.
Here are 3 pictures so you can see yourself.DJI_20250703163209_0171_D.JPGDJI_20250703170158_0177_D.JPGrafile.jpg

You might check the exposure bias in normal photo mode. Is it set to a negative number?

This makes no sense.
Photographers shoot stills in normal mode all the time.
It's a perfectly normal method of creating good images.
I have thousands of great stills shot in normal mode and do that every time I fly.
It would make more sense to find out why there is the difference you've observed rather than deciding to shoot panoramas.
It might take some understanding of photography basics.
 
I agree with Meta4's comment that it would be worth learning why this is happening rather than working around it by shooting in panorama.

From what I can see in your examples, the panorama is just more processed than the other photos which would make sense given the processing that is necessary to create the panorama.

RAW photos need to be developed using programs like Lightroom, Affinity, DXO, etc otherwise they will look bland and uninteresting. If you want your photos to look better, learning one of these programs would be a much more rewarding use of your time versus cropping panoramas :)
