Thanks to all of the videographers and photographers who have explained the lens flares because it helps me appreciate what's going on.
I still don't understand why nothing like this happened in the hundreds of hours of video I created on my
Mavic 2, including sunrises, sunsets and flying in the direction of the sun (see video below). Sometimes I would see a glare along one side of the frame but I could crop that out...something I can't do with a green dot in the center of the screen. Other times there would be a flare but it looked natural like in the video below (not a green dot).
As noted by someone else in one of the many posts on this issue, it seems like DJI (or Hasselblad) tried to upgrade the
Mavic 3 lenses, which may be an improvement in many respects, but it appears to have created a new problem.
I didn't get the Cine package but can see it offers filters. Does my standard
M3 have a filter? I searched the 64-page owner's manual for "filter" and nothing comes up but YouTubers discuss it like we should know what it is. If I don't have a filter, could adding one help? And if there is a filter attached, would removing it cause the green dot to disappear?
