Why are my DNG's fisheye'd?

Can you upload the original DNG so we can see how it loads into Photoshop, that the lens correction is being handled correctly and confirm there isn't some other issue?
There is no other issue.
It's no mystery and has been seen many times.
It's just that the software he's using isn't applying the lens correction that other software does.
 
The jpg image has been created by post processing from the image sensor’s raw image. In this process, the lens distortion is compensated for. The dng image is just the raw sensor data. It will have no distortion correction applied. My experience is that Lightroom’s correction is better than DJI’s.

Hi there! So what's going on is that the DNG is simply a raw style image with no edits that the drone is doing like in the jpg image. Such as lens correction etc.

That is why when you view your jpg to DNG you can totally tell all the things that seem "off" in the DNG. Simply go down to lens correction in LR (if you edit there) and it'll correct it, once that is done you can enjoy editing. You can also tell that the DNG has way more info by looking at 1: file size 2: histogram.

Hope this kind of helps (quick reply sorry!)

If he had used Lightroom, the lens correction would have been done automatically and he's have never noticed what prompted him to start this thread.
