Hi guys,
I have had a bit of a break from it all, work and all that!

Decided to get back into it, and so as out early this morning.

Currently I am taking images in jpeg, when I have taken a pic, sometimes it also takes a very low resolution thumbnail as well as the full jpeg.
Also some file names are "screen" and some are "org"

Is there a purpose to the "thumbnail" image, can I just delete them?
Is there somewhere in the settings to stop the thumbnail?
Does anyone know what the difference is between "screen" and "org"

Or if there is a link to a description that would be great.

Thanks a lot for any help or advice.

If you are shooting jpg, the only files you need to be concerned about are all .jpg files.
Anything else will be low-res cached images or thumbnails and you can delete them

Cheers, I thought that might be the case, do you know if there is a setting to turn them off?
Thanks for getting back to me.
 
It seems that you are tansferring the photos from the drone to the phone ( Andriod ? ) , likely automatically. For me, I have disabled such transfer and store everything on the SD card. There is no thumbnails or anything like "screen" or "org" in the SD card, just the full-resolution image files.

Hi ya,
Yes that is my current set up, yes Andriod.
If I use just the card, o you still see the captured image on the phone screen, for a quick review ?
Cheers for the tip.

I use iphone. I can check the image by pressing the play button on the DJI app but I never do that especially when the drone is in the air.
 
Okies, thanks for the info, I will have a play around and see, thanks again. Cheers.
