I know there are a lot of youtube videos on the subject, but nothing specific (that I have found) for blowing up a photo. My question today is, what camera settings are best for taking a photo from the Mavic Pro to be blown up into a poster? I have a real estate agent asking for to photo acreage which she is going to put onto a poster for the owner as a Christmas gift.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Use the Biggest Size available to you - Definitely 4k by 2.7k (rounded) at least -
It may be a Great idea to do a 3 by 3 Panarama - to get even more resolution -
Just read up on How to do them -
The newer Mavics - self Stitch - ...
… But you can always use Microsoft's ICE software (which is free)

A Poster (A0 size) should be High Quality - The Bigger the Size - Usaully always the Better -

You will get the requirements from the company that is going to make the poster. They will tell you what type of graphic file is needed and whether you or they will do any tweaking before printing. As for quality, it is the same with any digital photo; shoot at the highest resolution possible with light adequate for an ISO of 100 to avoid graininess.
 
There was a thread on this forum located HERE which covers this subject nicely.
I looked at that CHART on the reference Forum -

The Chart does not say specifically whether its the RAW size or JPG.

By looking at the CHart THOSE are RAW Sizes-

If You have your images stored as JPEG or JPG then typically 20% of the RAW Size in the List would apply -

ie 18Mbytes RAW - may translate to 3.5 Mb JPG ...
