No HDR in Quickshots!

Threesixtography · Jul 19, 2020

I wasted video time this morning when I went out to take pics and videos of my HOA's recreation area. I was not as familiar with the capabilities as I thought I was. I wasted a lot of time because I was certain that you could shoot Quick Shots using HDR (Smart) settings. I guess not! My vids look like someone washed them in bleach!

Maybe you shot in D-Cinelike?

Perhaps. I did not think so. After I have read more I see that HDR is at least available in some quick shot modes. I'll have to go back and figure it out.

I may be picking nits, but "HDR" is a term used for still photography.

EDIT: Saw your second post above after I started writing....sorry, slightly edited below:

HDR is a video standard (actually, at present time, unfortunately, multiple different video standards) as well. It is different than still photography in practice, but the theory is the same -- to communicate higher dynamic range to the display device. So, you need an HDR video source and display to make real use of it.

Then, we add on top that the Mavic Air 2's "HDR Video" isn't technically real HDR video to one of the standards, and we have a whole other conversation. The MA2's versions is some processing to enhance the dynamic range of the video (and it seems to do a good job of it), but isn't true HDR video.
