Hello,
I am new in this community.
I am currently working in an academic research project and we are going to buy a Mavic 2 Enterprise Advances.
I was wonedering if the recorded data (jpeg and mp4) has a timestamp and which is its format (e.g. UNIX).

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Gloria

Still images will have metadata including Exif info and a lot more.
Here's an example.
The 1st and 3rd columns are about as long again and have quite a bit more data.

Hello from the Crossroads of America gloria.c.

Nice to meet you Gloria. 🤝

Looks like you're finding answers already. :)

Welcome to the Forum. :cool:
 
Hi there & welcome to the forum 👋 :D

And if pics & videos aren't a necessity for the project as such, DJI drones have flight logs covering hundreds of telemetry & sensor data, all properly time stamped ... all is recorded during the period when the drone is powered on & is connected to the controller with the flight app running in an attached mobile device.

These logs can be depicted either on web services like Airdata.com or PhantomHelp.com ... looking like this:
(Click on the pictures below to make them larger)

Or .CSV formats of the log can there be downloaded for use in other programs.

The logs can also be analysed through chart based PC software where different data signals can be chosen & paired together ...

If flight logs can be useful ... read up more about them here --> Mavic Flight Log Retrieval and Analysis Guide
