I am a new Mavic Pilot trying to figure out the best settings and my most recent footage has some artifacts I haven't noticed in other Mavic footage or my own until the most recent firmware update. It looks like edge ghosting or even a posterize time effect has been added to the footage- you can see the "ghost" edge of my leg (and car and pavement) from the previous several frames. This example is 4k 30fps (+1,-3,-3 D-Log)- But it happens with all my most recent footage from today and yesterday no matter the settings (I've tried 2k,4k,24p,30p Sharpness +1 and -1). The artifacts become more obvious once its color corrected. Has anyone else noticed this in their footage? Any ideas for remedy?

Thanks!

I think if you go Dlog AND with -3 on contrast and -3 on colors, there is SO MUCH data that the lazy encoder will simply throw away (drops below some arbitrary discernible threshold) that I am not surprised that you have issues in post. If you have a way to look at just color information You will see that it is more a "colorization" effect than reality.
 
Thanks for the response. I will try again tomorrow with more reasonable settings (D-log +1,0,0?). I was shooting that way because I had downloaded a LUT that was designed for those settings- but I see what you are saying about the bad encoding.
