shutter speed but not allways
I want to try several different settings of the camera. I created three lists and I added them to a plan.
The difference between the three lists is the camera photo type. (Single, HDR and EAB). In each list I use several different shutter speeds.
Testing the plan results often in failures , the message is "Camera shutted speed failed".......and set param failed.
It fails now on 1/400 but I had other shutter speeds failed too. Running the first list , with the same shutter speed runs without problems. What can be the reason. I fly with the DJI mini two, dronelink version 4.0
I shared the plan here :

Just guessing here...
You are firing the camera constantly - it is possible that the camera is still handling the previous pic when the next capture command fires.
Try adding a wait command for 2 seconds in between each capture to see if that solves the issue.
Unfortunately that did not help. I changed the file format to jpeg, and when that did not help either I added Camera Exposure Mode ->Shutter priority but did not help either.
So when someone else has any ideas.
Additional problem is that the drone gets a little hot when testing, so I have to wait very time to let the drone cool down.
Which drone ? You need to check the specs for your drone and see what they are. Every camera setting may not work depending on your drone. With that said, you need to change the camera exposure command to “manual” not “shutter priority”. Your setting the shutter manually so I believe you need to set the exposure to Manual.
I will check the settings of the timer. It fails when set to 1/400 and I think the DJI mini 2 can do that.
I want to avoid to set the exposure to manual, because it will get to complicated for me. I am still learning about things like iso, exposure and that kind of stuff. Thanks anyway, i will experiment some more.
You are using camera commands to set the camera manually already so you must set the exposure to manual or the camera doesn’t know what to due. It works no different then when using the the DJI Fly app. If wanting to set the ISO, Shutter etc, you need to use manual exposure in the DJI app. Either Auto or Manuel exposure are the only two choices. You can’t turn off the exposure it’s one or the other. It won’t make it difficult or change any of the camera settings you already manually set. It just needs to be put in Manual so it knows and it will work
Just ran that plan with those camera commands with my MA2. Only changed the exposure to manual. HDR fails due to not being able to perform that camera function. I removed just the HDR component and they work. Single and AEB will work with the M2 but not HDR. The shutter speed is not the issue. Good luck. Hope this helps.
The photo camera specs for the M2 are listed below and it can’t shoot HDR photos so that is another issue which will fail.
M2 photo specs:
Single Shot
Interval: JPEG: 2/3/5/7/10/15/20/30/60 s
JPEG+RAW: 5/7/10/15/20/30/60 s
Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB): 3 bracketed frames at 2/3 EV Bias
Panorama: Sphere, 180°, and Wide-angle
Electronic Shutter: 4-1/8000 s
