Hi all,

Had a funny thing happen with my MA when flying today. Took off and flew around for a bit, did a quick Asteroid for my stepdaughter and her Instagram, then pressed the camera button (on the controller) to take a still shot. Carried on flying and brought the MA home and landed. When I went to download the Asteroid and still shot, only the Asteroid was on the SD (and phone)! Powered the drone off, then back on, pressed the camera button again and it took a picture (as it should).
According to the Go4 app (Android, latest version), everything is up to date firmware and updates wise.

Has anyone had the same issue recently?

Cheers.

Andy
 
If the drone isn't in still shot mode (e.g. you're in video mode) then one press will just switch modes. You then need to press again to take a shot.

I think the screen "blinks" to show you a picture has been taken.

Now that's good information and answered a question I hadn't asked. Thanks
