Mini 3 Pro JPG files are small

[Felix le Chat]

@WilliamDaugherty did you ever figure this out? I came across this when using DJI SDK 5. Internally the Mini 3 Pro is using Fine Image Quality whereas the Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro use Super fine Image quality (so almost no compression). I can switch the Mini 3 Pro to use Super fine compression using the SDK which results in the file size doubling and matching the Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro I took for the same scene. Weird that these options do not exist in DJI Fly to adjust image quality (compression)

This is a really interesting comment. I'd be interested in setting 'super fine IQ'. I'm not bothered about microSD card storage space and much prefer working with large files.

How about a step-by-step guide? I'm certain I wouldn't be the only one to be interested.

It might be worth checking if an app like Litchi has this option as I can't see it in DJI Fly?

Rather than a step by step guide you would essentially be creating an Android app from scratch that uses the DJI SDK to set/unset this value.

I was just playing around with the SDK in an app I work on. But it's not a general purpose DJI capture app so it's not a great fit for adding this feature. We'd rather not adjust the default photo quality settings and leave a Pilot's drone stuck in a particular photo quality mode, since there is no easy way to unset it using DJI Fly.

It's not in the docs I found it by looking at the source. E.g.

// To get the current Photo Quality setting
CameraKey.KeyPhotoQuality.create().get()


// To set a Photo Quality setting
CameraKey.KeyPhotoQuality.create().set(CameraPhotoQuality.SFINE, {
    // Success handler
}, { idjiError ->
    // Failure handler
    println(idjiError.errorCode())
})

I found this issue on the GitHub Unable to set quality when taking still photos · Issue #146 · dji-sdk/Mobile-SDK-Android

Now I’ll say I am not a developer or anything so I may be misunderstanding what is being said said there and please correct me if I am wrong but it sounds to me like DJI is saying that functionality was depreciated because the camera firmware that controls the compression is no longer able to be changed by the mobile sdk and that’s why they removed reference to it in the documentation?

That makes sense. That is the older SDK for the Mini 2 etc btw. I wonder if it is configurable in SDK 5 (Mini 3 and later drones) by mistake
