I just got my M2P and am practicing first flights taking videos. I just took several "first" videos. Clearly I don't know what I am doing yet. They ALL were terrible:
1. Blobs of highlights kept jumping into the image, I assume due to momentary overexposure, with the camera trying to readjust maybe?? I had the video set on 4K 30 fps, auto everything,, with a PolarPro 8PL ND filter on an overcast day. So I don't know why these anomalies would appear if they are overexposures that camera is trying to deal with. It just wasn't that bright a day.
2. The videos are choppy. Rather than the smooth videos I have seen on YouTube, mine were all choppy. Very annoying.
3. In some of the videos, the camera "skipped", almost like the camera was stopping and starting again, or like it was taking still photos. These were a fraction of a second, then video ran again. This was a different issue than the "choppiness".
3. For most videos I was flying in normal mode. But even when I tried Intelligent Flight Modes, first QuickShots, doing Dronie, Circle, and Helix the drone is flying very smoothly, but the videos are choppy, in addition to having the highlights flashing into the picture, they skip or chop. Finally I tried Cinema mode, but didn't see much difference, maybe a bit smoother.
I have seen on YouTube that one shouldn't use "auto" but instead set the camera for manual and adjust the exposure etc. I'll try that, which may get rid of the highlight flashes, but what would cause the choppiness and the skipping, even when using QuickShots, which I understand is only 1K, and flies the drone smoothly??
Any help would be appreciated.
