camera capture failed
I recently reported that I was receiving an error msg. "Camera Capture Failed" and it initially happened at the end of a mission. When receiving the message the mission stops. I was flying the Mini 1 with a Samsung S21 and now am using tablet, Samsung S8 lite. I again received the message. People were suggesting that I was flying out of range but I was only 500 feet away so that did not seem plausible. I believe I figured it out. I was getting the msg. in the middle and end of flights and I noticed that the SD card was near full. I deliberately filled an SD card and the mission would only launch and then stop. It appears that the program has the ability to predict if there is enough memory in card to complete mission and if not the mission is stopped. If the card is full at start then it will not fly at all. Can someone verify this?

If you attempt to start capture with a full SD card, the DJI SDK will return an error, which is what Dronelink is showing you.
I remember that issue you had. Good to know it got figured out. I Never leave much on my SD cards and I have several of them since their not expensive. I’d rather have several 64gig SD cards then a large one with tons of videos or photos. At least if a card gets corrupted you won’t use everything. I store my stuff on a large SD card and also backed up on my PC.
Once again, it’s sometimes the simplest things Bob. Lol. Enjoy. 😀
P.S. Also I’ve noticed your 1532 minutes on leader board. Impressive especially for a Mini. That’s about 25 hours of automated missions. 👍🏼
In this screenshot I was am showing the error msg. "Camera stop capture failed" and it was explained that the mission would stop when SD card is full. I thought I had the answer but I was flying today and I heard a ding and looked down at tablet. The recorder had stopped and the mission continued, so that negates the theory that if SD card is full the mission will stop.
If you attempt a start capture command and it fails, and the command is set to required, the mission will stop and be marked as failed. If you changed the required failure mode to disengage, the mission will stop and be paused.
This mission kept flying but not recording and I received no error message. I am not sure what it was set on, but it was whatever is normal which I believe is set at required. I will try to duplicate and take a screen shot but that will not actually show movement.
Flew mission today and I purposely left an almost full SD card in. When the card was full I just heard a command beep and the recording stopped (no error msg.) and the mission continued.
It will probably only fail the mission if you are issuing a Start Capture command when the SD card is already full.
I thought I had said that here but it was in another post. You are correct, if the card is full the program will not let mission start. This is also true when flying with DJI Fly. I didn't explore too deep but you would think DJI Fly would not care if your card is full and would allow you to fly anyway.
