Today was a very overcast day ... I went to work to get a pano done ... the first link is done with Litchi, and the exposure looks good ...

Litchi Pano

then I attempted the same with the DJI App Spherical Mode ... and continues to be horrible exposure challenged ... is there any solution to this? I've seen multiple other people complain.

DJI App Pano

I prefer the DJI App for my flying, so would prefer to get the camera settings working for Spherical Mode. Thank you
 
I’ve mentions this problem countless times. Not sure how to fix it. The Spark does a better job.
Funny thing, it think my best pano phot was when the DJI Go app crashed, after I’ve selected the sphere pano mode. (It was in dec, where the app kept crashing prior to iOS 11.2.). So it then start up Litchi. When I took a photo, it went through the pano photo taking mode. The exposure was good on that one.
So sure if it was just the DJI Go app, that seem to set the incorrect exposure when taking each photo.
However, testing today, it the photo was a lot better.

I'm just surprised DJI has not fixed it ... the images I took today are using the most up to date versions of both apps, latest Mavic Firmware from a few days ago ... latest iOS.

Litchi seems to do a fine job, just not sure why DJI can't get it right.
 
Look at the EXIF data from the Litchi images. What metering mode or other relevant data are being set. Duplicate these values to your GO4 app while having the settings in manual mode.

I had both apps running in auto-metering mode ... Litchi seems to get it right
 
Just compared the output information ... Litchi shows metering mode 0, and DJI shows metering mode 3 ... anyone know the difference?
