Inconsistent responsiveness to touch...

Peter Hernandez

When changing ISO or Shutter speed during an "On the Fly" orbit it takes several touches to change the settings. Annoying when timing is crucial coming around towards the dark side of a cell tower. By the time it finally changes, I'm past the window of time needed for the change. I'm on the DJI RC Pro & Mavic 3 Enterprise. Maybe a temperature thing? Happens inside an A/C cooled car or outside in the heat.

Any thoughts? 

Thanks in advance.

    The best way on any mission is to pause the mission first then change it. Once you got it all set up the way you want then click resume.

    Mike, thanks for the response. Even if I pause, my problem still exists. You have to keep touching the setting repeatedly till it registers your touch.I have to change the exposure multiple times during an orbit as the light changes on different sides of the cell tower so pausing won't work. I thought the beauty of this feature is that you can do it as you fly without having to stop every time you want to change exposure setting in the middle of an orbit. This would be a HUGE headache.

    Why not use auto exposure

    Auto exposure doesn't expose for the tower/RADS. Takes the whole frame into consideration.

    Peter. Are you capturing photo intervals and if so at what internal time ?

    Hello Mike,

    Yes, one sec. intervals. Does the taking of interval photos interrupt the touch input? I've tapped it repeatedly but it seem to work randomly.

    Yes, you cannot change a camera setting while capturing especially at faster intervals like 2 seconds or less. So it’s letting you sometimes change it because your catching it at just the right time in between each capture. You can try 3 seconds or so and you may have better luck. I tried yesterday and at 3 seconds and I was able to change it but at 2 seconds it was more difficult. So at 1 second I’m sure you can see why. Hope that helps. Enjoy.

    Thanks. I guess I'll have to deal with it as the SOP I use calls for .7 or 1 sec intervals. Orbits would take me forever if I did them at 3 seconds. Thanks again.
