Map Pilot Version 2.6.3 Takes Picture at 1 FPS with Phantom 4 Pro

I just mapped a 200 acre site on 9/15. I noticed my Phantom 4 pro was taking pictures at 1 fps. Is this an undocumented upgrade? I appreciated getting the work done sooner. However since the terrain changes a lot I only get about 11 minutes of flying before all the waypoints are used up. Any word if DJI is going to up the waypoints beyond 100?

It shouldn't have been taking images that fast and if it was doing it for very long it would likely have started to fail. We follow DJI's guideline of 1 image per 2 seconds on most of their cameras. 

If you are pretty sure it was actually taking images that fast we would appreciate you sending us a log file from that flight so we can check it out. 

DJI has not plans that we are aware of to extend the number of waypoints. Terrain Awareness in rugged terrain is the only time we ever see people using that total up.

Zane,

The link below is to one of the log files. At one point I found it was taking 49 pictures per minute. The terrain is pretty rugged so the phantom has to slow down during extreme elevation changes. I've got more log files with similiar results if you need them.
