Ok. More to the point. Do i want AFC on? Auto focus continuous. Or do I want to do this manually. I googled about afc, but one answer was that its great to focus manually or else it continuously refocuses... So im wondering. Also if manual is better, then what do I need to disable/enable? I...

So. I made my first flight. Fairly windy and when I went to 100-130 meters it did mention that there was high wind and 2x it mentioned to return asap. Other than that I did a couple of times the landing and lifting off procedures. then moving around (have both joysticks in my memory and is like...

Wow interesting info right there. And how do you focus? Tapping on the screen? (roughly to a distance of 50 m? as in your example) or do you simply let the drone auto focus? So the fx.x is really only more useful for more close up shots or with objects fairly close, altough as you say forget...

Thanks for your time and points you made. I take note on everything

Well. my Idea was that I had great concern about getting knowledge of camera settings and knowing what I want since the result is what drove me into this to begin with. But with my first actual filming will be in 2 weeks from now. Till then all my test flights have focus on flying and getting to...

Yes. I will mostly fly for now with GPS on. So it won't drift away. Also I have been watching some more experienced drone flying user video's, so Im not entirely in the dark here. And yes I am trying to learn both flying as well as having the highest possible video quality that I want. But...

Wow, thanks.... But I don't want Auto settings. I want to understand the thing. That's why I do my best to understand. I have been following alot of video's, this thread, and as it stands right now, there are alot of concepts and things clear now, with some things Im working on. I know perfectly...

Thanks bsartist. This is very useful information. But So an important question in this. If you have the ISO at 100, and shutter at 1/60 (at 30fps), you would traditionally play with the aperture (f.stop). But is there any quality difference when playing with the f.stop? as long as you set the...

Meta4. Thanks for your answer. You say that you have to reduce the light by about 3 stops when having a shutter speed of 1/60th and f5.6. Is that based on experience or based on a math formulation? - You say that ND filters reduce the light levels uniformly across the frame. Does that mean...

You say "Keep in mind, in order to use 100 ISO, appropriate shutter speed & a 5.6 f-stop, you will have to use ND filters on sunny days." But if I use a ISO of 100 (lowest noise), and a shutter speed of 1/60 (at 30 fps), wouldn't you want lower f-stops than 5.6? Like 2.8 ? Im a little confused...

Thanks alot JarrodF. I will! Am not sure yet which thread for camera settings is the best to read upon, but I'll do my best. There are so many sources left and right

Thanks. I havent flown yet. I started out indeed on everything regarding camera settings, gimbal stuff and Im currently watching videos for flying in different modes, safety things as well. I also bought propeller guards which only adds to the safety of people and the drone. But saturday and...

bsartist. Alright thanks. Ill do that!

Fly Dawg, Thanks this evening I'll start with my first flight tests. I set my stuff in beginners mode and I just bought those DJI P4 propeller protection thingies

basartist. Thanks alot for your reply and your share of your experiences about everything So regarding the formats. Ill use H.264 then as your points are important points and I actually heard it yesterday from someone else as well. Ok. So instead of just using 5700k for every light condition...
