panorama

I watched on youtube, someone mentioned don't delete html files on sd card, or it would not able to stitch the pictures together. Unfortunately, I found all my html files gone, I would able to take panorama pictures but lost function to stitch all the pictures together. Would anyone mind to make a copy of html files for me. Thanks.

I thought those html files occurred after you stitch a pano.
After a SD card format they are gone anyway.

Html (Hyper-text mark-up language) files are NOT photo files, they're for web sites and browsers. My Mavic makes dng (Adobe digital negative) and jpg (Joint Photographic experts group) image files. She don't know no stinkin' html.

I use Lightroom (in the Adobe Photoshop family) to stitch overlapping dng fles together. The result is a panorama that is also a dng file. I export that file to a jpg that I can put on my website (if I ever get around to it).

If you find html files on your Mavic's SD card, you have some real problems.

No it's normal to find an HTML file after stitching in the app.

HTML files are placed on the SD card at the time the pano is taken, I never stitch mine on the drone and the HTML are always there. I believe the dji software in go or on the drone itself uses the HTML as the index order for the photos taken so it can do the stitching when done through the dji go app

Ahhhh! "HTML files are placed on the SD card at the time the pano is taken."

It just occurred to me that I have never specifically directed my mavic to make a panorama. I have been taking overlapping exposures with my Nikon and joining them in Photoshop for years, so I now do the exact same thing with the Mavic. My SD card only has dng, jpg, and mv4 files, no html.

Something new to practice on my training flight tomorrow.
