Overexposed photos

I have experienced this too. The two flights I flew on the most recent app gave me the same settings, overexposing my first flight by at least 3 stops making them unusable and by 1 or 2 on the second. While those would be usable after corrected. But when I corrected them in Lightroom and tried to upload I was told that the image process software has stripped the location data out of the images resulting in a bad map if used.

Any suggestions on how we are supposed to deal with this issue?

I agree that the Pictures are still not taken correctly / properly by the newly released Map Pilot App (Colors, Brightness and Sharpness).

Is version 1.2.2 1020 the latest?

Same thing here, all the pictures that were taken today are useless. Using the latest app version and latest firmware. The pictures are all taken at 1/100, but the last picture taken before that, using the DJI Go app, was taken at 1/857 (auto). Where would the 1/100 come from?

I have the same problem all over exposed , i have tried to change shutter speed in djigo but doesn't change in Map pilot.
I have to find a solution or my job will flyaway!
When could we expect the FIX ?
HELP

Is there any way to downgrade the APP ?

The temporary workaround works for me. I set the shutter value quite high at 1/1000 due the bright sunlight. Check if your exposure setting in dji go is on "m" instead of auto.

yes i have done that because it's very sunny here, and i have set in manual and 1/800 in dji go, but map still shot at 1/100

Here's what I do,
open DJI Go,
Go to camera settings
It should already be in Manual, if not, something is wrong.
Change shutter speed to 1/800 without changing anything else
click x to close the window
press top left to go back into main screen
then press home button
double click home button then kill the app
restart controller, and phantom
then only use map pilot to start mission.

Thanks a lot ,i will try , but hope they will soon Fix the APP

Kevin,

Not sure what this means?
" press top left to go back into main screen"

Kevin: Thank you for your documentation of the workaround. We have verified that this works.

We sincerely apologize for this issue. We understand the frustration of taking bad data. Getting exposure correct is a fine balance between the automation of the auto exposure feature and the minimized smearing of a fixed exposure time. Apparently none of our testing was done in sufficiently bright conditions and did not expose this issue.

A new version has been submitted to Apple. This new version will have the auto exposure setting which should be used in bright conditions and a Shutter Priority mode which should be used in darker conditions.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and a new release will be available soon.

"top left" is actually a little icon with a house on it. i didn't want to say home button as people might confuse it with the ipad home button.

i have done exactly what Kevin describe but still shoot in 1/100
when i open DJIGO camera is in auto so i set in manual 1/1000
then home then kill app etc ... maybe i miss something !!!

I can confirm that the work around works as stated BUT you have to make sure you restart your remote and phantom in the order as typed. I forgot to restart and didn't work. Followed the directions and it worked for me.

i have restarted phantom and remote and resarted without oppening djigo ( only map pilot and Djigo totally close ) .
when setting camera in djigo are you in "F" mode or "P" , a this time map pilot is totally close ?

is there any way to downgrade ?

Shutter speed can now adjust the knob on the remote control. It should be automatic. After pressing the knob adjusts EV. It should also be automated.

Are you talking about djigo or map pilot?

Map pilot v. 1.3.1 build 1220

Where can i see the shutter speed on map pilot when i turn the knob ?

It was not visible. Slightly changes the brightness of the preview. When you exit and turn off Maps Pilots and you start to DJI GO and shows the details setting pictures, so there shows the last set value of the Maps Pilots.

Ok thank you , i will try

Before a mission wheel to tune shutter speed, and check manually creating the image. Follow the variation generated image compared preview.
I hope that will be soon corrected version.
Sorry for the my machine English, i speak only Czech.

The issue basically is that we switched the capture mode over to Shutter Priority without giving it a starting point so the last shutter value is used and isn't always appropriate. It didn't show up in our testing because the lighting was fairly consistent between our flights. This was clearly not our intent. In all versions of the DJI SDK until the one we are currently in the process of updating to there was no way to report he currently used shutter speed. We hope this has been remedied in the latest version and will be displayed to the user if it is available.

The version that is in for App Store approval allows the user to select Auto exposure, Shutter Priority or Manual (experts only) along with a shutter speed. The elected shutter speed will be used with both the Shutter Priority mode and the Manual mode. We generally recommend not mapping if anything over 1/320 is required because of the amount of ground smear that is introduced. For the manual mode, we set the ISO to 100.

Any date for the update?

It was submitted for App Store approval last week but we generally have no idea how long it will take to be released.

when the update will be ready?

Apparently the new version has been approved and should be available shortly.
