Negative Altitude Readings Air 2S

[cchadwick]

Hey all. I recently shot some altitude shots for a landowner. They were wanting to know if they could see water from various heights. I've done this many times before without issues, but for some reason this time when I look at my altitude (using the Lightroom EXIF Metadata Dropdown), it's showing my height as being in the negatives. I took off from the bottom of a hill and flew up. Any thoughts as to how to find the correct height or how to fix this?

TIA - Christine

DJI drones store Relative Altitude (height above takeoff) and a calculated Absolute Altitude (height above sea level) in the EXIF. Lightroom only shows the Absolute, and the DJI calculation of it is not great and often is quite a bit off as you see.

If you use something else to read the EXIF you can probably find the relative altitude and that should help.
