No 'sunny/cloudy' on Fly app?

[AntoineD]

I recently lost my Mini 2 and got a Mini 2SE, and in setting it up, I updated the DJI Fly app. I can't say I'm that happy about the latest version, and one thing I've noticed concerns the white balance. I could have sworn that with the older version I had, there was a setting for 'sunny or cloudy' (The Litchi app definitely has it, so maybe I'm confused?) But this Fly app version just lets you set the colour temperature. I'd much rather just set 'sunny' or 'cloudy' rather than having to remember the colour temperatures for both conditions, but it seems I can't. Am I missing something?

As you are basically using a flying camera, it might be worth your time to learn a bit about Photography.
Knowing the color temp of basic lighting conditions is pretty central to good photography and isn’t that difficult.

Yes, I realise that I could memorise the colour temperatures for cloudy and sunny conditions, but I just find it more convenient to select 'cloudy' and 'sunny'. Which brings me back to the question I was asking: does the latest DJI Fly app have 'sunny' and 'cloudy' settings, the way the Litchi app does? If so, where do I find them?

No, it doesn't.
But it has something that's even better.
Try auto white balance sometime ... it will handle high, thin cloud or low, dark overcast with ease.

That's a good idea. I'd always avoided AWB in the past, as I was told that it always kept changing when the direction of the drone changed, making videos hard to colour correct. But since I mainly do photos these days, that won't be a problem.

Just one more question: did earlier versions of the Fly app have a sunny/cloudy setting, or am I getting it mixed up with Litchi.

If its an android phone download an older version and see. you can get it from places like apkmirror.

I went back to a mini 2 tutorial by Jeven Dovey. He brings up the ISO settings and it only shows numbers.

Why not hit Auto WB at beginning of a flight when pointed in the primary direction you intend to fly. Then as soon as it sets, switch it back to manual. It’ll stay in the setting that Auto set it at. Then fly. Then you’ll have a steady manual white balance for the entire clip.

Take control of your creative tools, don’t let them make the decisions for you

It has always been as it is now.

ISO is completely different from White Balance.
ISO is only ever expressed in numbers.
