Prefaced with "I'm not a pilot" but......at 6,000 ft how fast is an Airbus going? how small is a drone? how long would it be visible? What's the chance someone in the cockpit was looking in the right direction? Long enough to be positively identified as a drone? What is the probability of a...

Yes, it seems to randomly reset. Checking the camera settings is one of the first things I do before flying. A real pain, but now it's routine.

I don't totally agree that a RAW file is completely untouched sensor data....there is some electronics there that has an effect. However, totally agree that something (RAW processing software, applied profile etc) determines what you actually see on your screen when you open the file. And...

Just out of interest, what sort of flying time do you get with that setup? Malcolm

I tried everything but no luck. I really don't remember doing anything to break it either (I knew that you need to put it in 'upside down' and certainly don't remember ever forcing it). My disappointment is with the retailer (not DJI as far as I know) who are wanting to charge me for the...

Hi All, A quick question/advice sought. I bought a P4 a few months back and after a few weeks the SD card would not stay in place. Instead of clicking and staying put, it would spring out. Anyway, I took it back to the retailer where I bought it (MediaMarkt in Netherlands) and today they...

Hi, I'm just wondering how practical an 8 second exposure is on a drone? how would one keep it steady enough? Wouldn't the slightest breeze mess the shot up?

I know this is becoming like flogging a dead horse but I take photos with (at the moment) my Fuji cameras. When I import the raw files into LR they do not look flat because.....as you and many others say - LR reads metadata and applies default profiles. And, as many have said, if you don't...

I don't think a DNG or any RAW file is literally a dump from the sensor - there is a little processing (look at the speculation on various photography forums about which camera brands cook their raw files more. However, the DNG files from the P4P are definitely more flexible to process in LR...

Probably set to 16:9 format is the reason it's 16.8mp. If 3:2 or 4:3 its about 20mp malcolm

Good to know and thanks for confirming. I'd guessed that it might be the same as the RX100III since that was the first 4k capable RX100 version

I'm curios as to what sensor it is in the P4P. I've seen people mention the RX100 in connection with the P4P several times. If it is the same sensor, then I wonder which version of the RX100 it is. If I look, for example, at the video specs, the first RX100 that offered 4k video was the RX100...

Hi All, I just wanted to make one more observation on the P4P vs X5. It's the nature of the noise (on stills anyway). On the X5, when you boost shadows you see severe banding in the noise. The P4P images seem to tolerate much more push, and the noise is more random from what I've seen so...
