Mavic air 2s Focus question

[bmoore1118]

I have one question. I had purchased the Mavic air 1st gen and it worked great but being a still photographer as well not having the ability to focus drove me nuts. On the 2S are you able to focus by tapping the screen or have auto focus?

It will auto and has a manual slide

How do you

It will auto and has a manual slide

how do you like it. I come from DSLR's so still photos are important.

People are saying good things about raw files

Here's a 9 image pano after editing the raw files. Very happy with the quality of the images.

At 2.8 the depth of field is so great that I can't see a reason to have to focus. If you're not in focus your obstacle avoidance system is probably not working Shutter speed is more important for still photo's and you have full control of that.

How is the camera compared to the Pro 2. If it's 1 inch and autofocus there is not much difference.

The sensor could be better on Mavic 2 Pro, but it's already old technology. You you should upgrade to Air 2S or wait for Mavic 3 Pro with price over 2500 usd..

I have a Mavic 2 Pro+really like the still quality.I shoot DSLR and am happy with the photo quality especially relative to the size of the drone.The Micro 4/3 Inspire is huge compared to mine.Way bigger than a Micro 4/3 vs a full frame DSLR.I would buy the AIR2s and when the Mavic 2 successor comes out sell the AIR2S and upgrade if it appeals to you.
