Mavic 4 Pro Camera -Focus Issues

[Skywhisperer]

My Mavis Pro is less than a month old. I immediately began to notice when depressing the camera button halfway, that it appeared not to lock focus. This is in autofocus mode, although it began doing the same thing in manual mode. The drone fly's great and the video is amazing. I have uploaded two pictures, one of a new construction near my home, which is acceptable, F.2.8 / 28mm/ ISO100. The other was taken today, F2.8 ISO 100. In this phot the focus is way off. Any thoughts? View attachment post-2.jpgView attachment post1.jpg

The first photo looks sharp in the foreground omly the trees look smudged. The machinery looks ok too. Not sure how that happened but it looks to me more like some kind of weird in-camera processing error rather than focusing issue.

If it was a focus issue, the things behind the trees wouldn't look sharp.
If you are getting more shots like this, I'd suggest using the 25 MP mode and see how that handles things.
The 100 MP mode doesn't really add anything positive but maybe it's the issue.
The camera is outstanding for even fine detail in 25 MP mode.

Do you have the aperture set to auto as well?

Is that what 100MP photos from M4P typically look like?

The picture with the construction equipment looks weird, like some strange post processing was done on it.

Thank you for the reply and input. After I made the post, I figured it out, coming from an Air 3S, and Mavic 3 Classics, the photos viewed on the remote looked sharp. The problem was the 100 MP resolution which look horrible on the remote, as the large files were struggling to load. Going to switch to the lower resolution. thank again!

Nothing that I'm aware of looks like that.
I just suggested that trying the lower native resolution might give a different result.

Not sure I understand. Are you saying that the photos you posted were screen shots from your remote controller?

No, they were downloaded from the drone. A strange thing happened after the last update from DJI. After the update installed, I noticed files with Chinese writing mixed in with the normal photo and video files. That's when the camera began to lose focus. The Chinese files have magically disappeared, and the camera focus is back to normal. I forgot to take a picture of those strange files.

That all sounds really weird...
Just to clarify. Those posted photos were out of camera JPEGs taken with camera set to 100MP, right?

Those were the RAW files 100MB, I've noticed that the file size varies. I have some that were 110MB -112MB?
