Overexposed Photo Capture

Jose Fuentes

 

Hello,

I just ran a short mission and the photos were extremely overexposed.  Could not use them for an ortho,

How can this be adjusted so photos are balance?

I'm using the personal Elite version of the APP

Best Regards,

Jose

    Unless you add camera commands into the mission the drone will use whatever the camera was set to prior to you starting the mission.

    If you wanted to fix that - add camera commands to set the exposure values you would like into the mission.

    Thanks Barry.  Is that an enterprise only option? I don't see it here  If it is, does it mean that I have to do to DJI fly App and enable auto exposure?

    The ability to add camera commands is in all plans. 

    Watch this for the fastest way to add them.  Just add them all before you add the Map component

    Thank you Barry that worked!

    At first the app had an error with the commands that would stop the mission and not control the exposure.  Turns out that I had use the DJI fly app with manual camera settings and somehow that was not letting DroneLink control it.  Once I set the camera in dji fly app back to auto the commands in dronelink took over. 

    Thanks again

    You are welcome - glad that worked for you. 

    Dronelink can be pretty fussy about the order in which things are run.  If you want to try out camera commands before it is in the air you can do that.  Check out this video:  https://youtu.be/18ivyaVGNes

    I literally about to do that on a new component I have right now!

    In your experience have you any insights as to "best practices" when it comes the order of camera commands?

    The best practice is to plan the commands in the same order as you would set the settings in the UI manually.

    And make sure that your camera is in the right mode - e.g. don't try to set a video frame rate if the camera is in photo mode.
