Camera Start Capture failed

I just started mapping with my Air2S and received this error.

I 'think' it may be my SD card, i will test that tomorrow but I think the true issue may be that the the drone is capturing both JPG and RAW. The drone is set to both of these, but I assumed DroneLink was overriding that setting.

My fix was simply to 'resume' the mission and it would continue just fine.

I'll fly the same mission tomorrow after turning off RAW. Hoping someone else has seen this same issue.

Having both JPG & RAW turned on can cause problems like this especially if the card is a bit on the slower side, if you don't tell Dronelink to just capture JPG it will happily try and capture both if both are turned on

As Martin stated, it’s due to both formats. Need more time between intervals for both file formats. If it’s set to the default of 2 seconds it may fail. Even if it’s a good quality V30 speed rated SD card it may still have issues. A ton of posts about intervals when shooting in RAW. This type of error is usually due to not high enough intervals. In general I’ve noticed at least 3 seconds are needed. Good luck.
