Mavic Pro 2: Problems with EV control

[CJG]

When taking Panoramas, I'm sometimes lazy and use automatic exposure. I like to take 3 exposures: 0 -1 +1 EV values. I can then create an HDR Panorama.

When doing this, I have noticed that the EV controls sometimes stop working (after being fine initially). This seems to be a software issue rather than hardware as non of the methods to alter EV values work (dial on the remote control, the button I have configured to alter EV, or the EV adjustment in the camera exposure controls).

Its not a major issue (as manual control can be used to set the exposures) but it is frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have experienced that as I usually shoot in aperture priority.I quickly switch to manual and back to aperture priority and it fixes the problem.

I think in Pano mode, all bets are off. The program has it's own ideas about exposure (especially in auto) and the EC setting is not static. I think the EC change even happens in manual mode.

Of course, in the middle of a pano, there is no option to switch to manual, then back again.

I thought the poster was referring to stitched panos,not the in camera panos.

Thanks for this: I’ll give this switching a go!

What I am getting at is the actual process of capturing Panoramas: when you try and change the EV value in full auto mode, it sometimes fails to respond

EC (exposure compensation) happens during frame capture, regardless of how the image is stictched.
