How to adjust Megabytes on Mavic 3 pro

[Minding My Drone Business]

I'm trying to adjust the size of the image coming out of the Mavic 3 pro to 20 megabytes or less. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you are shooting jpg images, only those from the 3X camera will be >20 MB.
For the 3X camera you can go into the camera settings and select either 12MP or 48 MP file size.
Choosing the 16:9 aspect ratio also produces slightly smaller file sizes because it crops the top and bottom of the images.

You should shoot at RAW and then reduce size on image in your software . In Adobe photoshop I go to image size and reduce the pixels.

Another way is to wait for the 'save as' dialogue box, choose JPG and drop the quality slider to 80%. Massive save on file size with negligible drop in visual quality.

The Mavic 3 Pro doesn't have the 48MP option.

If the JPG files produced by the drone are too large for your intended use, use a simple photo editing software like irfanview. After opening the file, four clicks will yield a new image sized as you want. Other basic photo editing features are included, too - cropping, sharpening, rotation, color adjustment, ...

Irfanview.com

It's a very useful and well supported free software used by millions of people around the world. I've been using it for years without problems. (I have no involvement, financial or otherwise, other than being a satisfied user.

Yes it does on the 3X camera as stated in post #2.

If I am not mistaken, a RAW file is larger than its JPEG counterpart.
