When I send my Mini 2 up to about say 80m (data from DJI Fly) and take shots, when I process them through Adobe Bridge, metadata says I was over 200m.
If I import then into Lightroom for cataloguing, IT says 2175m.
Any ideas?
 
Thanks Meta4. Here it is.
There are two altitude numbers in the image metadata.
Relative Altutude = 62 metres
Absolute Altitude = 217.51 metres

Realtive altitude is what you see on your screen while flying and is relative to Launch Point = zero.
Absolute Altitude (sometimes labelled as GPS altitude) = Height above sea level, but because of the way this is calculated, it can be quite wrong as it is here.
The actual height above sea level would have been approx 126 metres

Well done. Where did you get that from? After your reply I just found this in RAW Data in Bridge.
<drone-dji:AbsoluteAltitude>+217.51</drone-dji:AbsoluteAltitude>
<drone-dji:RelativeAltitude>+62.00</drone-dji:RelativeAltitude>
Just for interest, where do you get 126m?
(Thank you for taking the time to reply.)
Maybe in Lightroom there is a decimal dot I can't see making it 2175m
