Long time lurker, first time poster. Just received my Mavic about 3 weeks ago.
Seems my Mavic is having some issues with it's auto focus.
I've recently taken to Litchi as my primary use in aerial real estate photography.
I just tested a route, about 1.1m one way, 2.2m total, where the Mavic lost signal from the RC about halfway into the one way trip (1/2 ish mile) with the target being a shopping center that enters the frame from the left.
Reviewing the footage here:
The Mavic seems to have an a serious auto focus issue. For what it's worth, this has happened in any waypoint flight I've used Litchi, the maiden use being a flight set at 15mph with the same issue, but me being able to constantly hit the C1 button to aid it in auto focusing. This flight was at 20mph in this instance.
In this case, given I lost signal for most of the waypoint flight, I was unable to auto focus or manually adjust.
Also, when the Mavic got too the POI it just maintains it's waypoint heading around the POI, never focuses on it, even though it's set to POI mode, and that's the only POI on the flight plan.
I'm assuming that's because it was accidentally set to curved turns?
I don't recall these focus issues in the DJI app, and it's rather bothersome as my usage of the Litchi app is for professional usage, and almost all of the video is useless due too its focus issues, however the issue only seems prevalent in autonomous / waypoint flight modes, only being prevalent in about 25% of manual flight (near the end) on the same evening in an equal length manual video. Immediately after this flight?
Is there a setting I'm missing that isn't carrying over to the Litchi app from the DJI app?
Am I simply flying too fast?
I've got a solid pre-flight checklist for everything from smart RTH to props and can't think of what I'm missing, or if I've got another issue at play.
Thanks!!!
