Mavic Pics SUCK.. All Blurry

[DodgeP]

So now every photo I take with my Mavic are blurry! I touch the screen to focus and take the shot BLURRY! Took around 40 photos today and every one is blurry! This touch to focus is crap! Boy am I missing my P3P , prob sell this hunk of crap and look for another P3P .. Good luck you Mavic Pilots!

I'll give you $500 for it.

I have been very happy with image quality

Could you have neglected to remove the gimbal lock?

Good enough for me.

Not any issues atleast before Friday update. I have not shot stills since.
not sure how to attach photos to this thread.

If you guys aren't using the RAW file format to capture your best images you're definitely missing out. The Mavic's compression on JPEGs is pretty bad but all the detail is there for the taking, it just needs to be picked up.

As for the OP's issue, it transcends any kind of compression problems for sure. It could be that the gimbal is vibrating. With sharpness setting at +1 or higher, try shooting something at max shutter speed (e.g. 1/4000 ?). If it's movement related that should yield a fairly clear image, albeit the quality may be bad- grainy or underexposed. Just check for sharpness.

If still blurry, probably a focus issue. Try turning on the Mavic with a subject far away in view. I've had problems before focusing (even using tap to focus and manually focusing) when the Mavic initiated with a subject very close in front. If this is the issue, when you tap to focus the image may get clear for a moment then go back to being blurry.

But most likely, I'm guessing it's another issue, hardware related. Good luck.

Agreed, RAW makes a huge difference with the Mavic, both in terms of compression artifacts and dynamic range. It's definitely worth using for anything other than the most evenly lit shots without fine detail.

I had a problem with my Mavic after an update and all photos were blurry and unfocused. It would focus directly in front of lens. I sent it back and was replaced under warranty. It was coincidental that I had just updated, but just after the update the gimbal on start up had a fit and wouldn't stop moving. But my new one is perfect so far.

at times i did have that kind of glitch, just restart everything and i think it will be fine otherwise, it's a hardware issue then

Very nice Can-more!!!!

Heres my WONDERFUL PHOTOS

Sky shots like this are always iffy. Unless clouds have really sharp definition (rare) the camera will not focus. Tilt the gimbal down -10 degrees and shoot something that is on the ground with sharp definition. Try and press the screen and hold for a couple of seconds (Litchi) and you should have an infinity focus. I have encountered issues if you allow focus to set on startup, then it may focus on something close. The camera will not focus properly once up in the air. It seems to lock into a close setting, and nothing will correct it until you fully reboot. Screen tap temporarily focusses then it de-focusses right away. If that fails then it could be software/hardware issue.

I've found focusing at night is fairly difficult. Hard time getting long exposure nighttime shots to be not blurry and in focus. Also noticed the "lock gimbal while capture" setting doesn't seem to work....you can move the gimbal around during a long exposure shot causing blurring.

I get great pictures with mine

Great shot but my goodness, what's your altitude here?!

My first mavic had no focus issues. My current mavic (also mavic1) occasionally will not focus and produces blurred images. Just like the ones posted by op.
Happened about 4 times on 26 flights. Powering off and on again has sorted it, also changing from NTSC to pal, which resets camera, has sometimes sorted it. So seems to be a firmware bug, as quite capable of great photos, so cannot be hardware only.

Try camera reset, try redo the firmware, else return it for warranty.
