I initially took Slow Motion footage (4k 120fps) of cars passing my Mav3 at 55mph or 88kph with the auto settings on. Then someone commented how severe the motion blur was. I agreed, but I just figured the auto settings increased the time the shutter stayed open because it was overcast with no sun. So I immediately went out and put the drone in the same spot and filmed in manual, changing the shutter speed to 1/8000 and the ISO to 400. Now, in manual there is no motion blur at all. The cars in each frame appear so still the license plates are readable.
