Anyone know what the shortest interval between shots when shooting stills in RAW? I have a Mavic Pro and it is 10 seconds (It will go down to 1 second in JPEG mode). Wondering what if it is lower for RAW on the P4Pro.
It is indeed 5 seconds and unless you're moving ungodly slow or doing a stationary time lapse with no fast moving objects (traffic) it's too slow. I typically shoot hyperlapse shots in jpg at 2 second interval.
Have you tried using a video and Microsoft Hyperlapse?

I don't like the effect of simply speeding up a video vs the timed shots. I've used sped up video stabilized in resolve, but the actual time lapse shots look much better.
The MS program does a bit more than that. It offers stabilization and lens correction, as well. But I understand what you are saying.
You must have something wrong with your SD card or are using one that isn't up to snuff. I've done 500+ photo 2 second time lapses with no issues.
2 second lapse RAW isn't even an option. RAW will only go down to 5 seconds for exactly that reason.
Since 2 seconds is the best lapse time for moving objects or moving the drone, you're pretty much stuck with jpeg no matter what.
Gotcha. Makes sense anyway if your doing one of much length at all. Raw is gonna need to write to fast for this bird at 2 seconds I guess. But j-pegs are fine for this type stuff too.
I am not talking about time-lapse photography at a single location. I am talking about timed photography where the drone is moving at a constant speed so shots should be spaced evenly.
In the former case, you wouldn't notice whether shots were taken at a precisely constant rate. In my case shot spacing was something like 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.0 etc. so photos were not taken the same distance apart. If I adjusted the interval time to 3 secs, then shot spacing became 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0 etc.
Sounds like a buffering issue to me.
