Manual Camera Control

I'm pretty sure I was in manual mode and paused and I could not change the shutter, only the aperture.  An Aperture priority would be great.

BTW, this post still does not show for me in recent activity, or MP discussion.  I got to it by the email link.

The sdk must now allow for pausing a mission, manual flying (to set camera controls for example ) and then resuming automated flight. Can this be added in MP please. 

Drone Deploy has recently added it.

Thank you.

Doing this requires loading the waypoints again after the aircraft is already in the air. We have lots of reasons why we don't want to do this. It tends to make aircraft fly away... This is an example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should". We prioritize the safe return of the aircraft over the addition of certain features. 

You know the limitations of your app the best, I guess.  Random "flyaways" are extremely, extremely rare, though. User error flyaways are much more common. ;)

Since camera control has become such an Achilles Heel, I often use DD just for the ability to set up the camera in GO, and then load the DD mission while in the air.  I have never experienced any issue (with that) ever. I suspect you could do it and have the app report if a check-sum or some other form of confirmation shows there was an upload problem.

Why is it that you can have the app upload capture timing in real time throughout the flight, but you feel it can't handle a single small upload of waypoints at altitude but generally with the craft very near the controller?

If you don't want to make this happen, how about adding an optional additional waypoint that the craft will fly to before starting the mission in order to be able to choose a place where there will be good contrast to set up the camera while not being able to maneuver.

Setting up the camera on the ground is just not near as reliable as it used to be with the P3P.  Without good camera settings, what is the point of the rest? 

Flyaways aren't as rare as you think... We like to have everything locked down and agreed to before leaving the ground.

It isn't that we can't command the aircraft to do things but certain commands require a super strong RC connection and tend to fail when there is any loss so we never rely fully on the ability to make any changes in the air. 

We will look into something to address the ability to designate a focus location.

That would be welcome, thanks!
