I succeeded in taking a 360 pan. Took another single photo and then tried taking a SUPER Resolution. It started shooting and then posted that error as shown in the attached image. I then took another 360 successfully but again failed with the Super Resolution. Oh, zoom, sc controller with new update. As an aside all of those images transferred to the SC have a date in June 2018!!! Yesterday was still April 2019.

Any ideas? I was wondering if the lighting/sun might have "told" the camera it would not work well.

Which SD card are you using? It may not be fast enough.

Can't help with the date stamp issue.

The card is fast enough. It has no problems capturing videos - I did not mention I shot three of them and they play back fine. It also shot the 360 Pan and I forget how many underlying images there are for that. It did two of those and one or two individual pictures. It only balked at the Super Resolution attempts, TWICE.

I guess I could got out and try again this afternoon. Although a bit breezy.
 
U look way overexposed +2.3! I find that super resolution will take u from 0.0 to +1.0 so what i do is under expose some say -0.7 and it will get me close +0.3 when its starts pano again ....u just have to experiment but yea man +2.3 is wayyy washed out

I'm pretty sure that you are correct and that the exposure values "informed" the drone that it would not work!

As I mentioned in the last sentence, I did wonder if the sun/lighting might have affected the process. It was that time of day, harsh western light from a not quite setting sun. I believe my settings were for Automatic. You can see the sun angle also compromised the 360 but it still fired out the sequence. Too bad I did not do a screen capture while the 360 was being shot.


You are probably correct since the only single shot I took has the following values and it is extremely washed out.
