    Cant adjust shutter speed with camera settings dial

    I noticed this also (latest go 4 version). It does work but it just does not need to be clicked or does not highlight now. So... In manual mode... - When you click the wheel it only highlights in blue and seems to toggle through ISO and aperture. - But if you just turn the dial when nothing...

    Phantom 4 Pro/Adv Shutter Half Press

    DJI eventually came back to me on this and said the Advanced is not meant to have the 2 stage button (the manual is wrong). They claim it was decided not to include the 2 stage button like the Pro as people did not like it :) but I suspect more likely is it was cheaper to not have to do a...

    Lens correction file for Lightroom

    The file downloaded needs to be renamed to .lcp from .txt and then placed into the right location for LR to pick it up. I do not use Macs so not sure of the location it should go for them... a quick google search suggests here: Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application...

    Lens correction file for Lightroom

    LR should have an embedded profile that it uses... Its pretty obvious if it is not using it as you will see severe barrel distortion and vignetting if the embedded profile is not being applied. If it is not or you are stripping the embedded profile out for a true raw file here you go: V2 is...

    Why Phantoms sometime Fall out of the sky !

    :) Done its yours! Send the cash first though Ok?

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    Looking at the full frames vignetting does improve marginally but sharpness does not due to diffraction taking over before sharpness gets a chance.

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    And for the self obsessed test or for those that like to film dangerously here is a donkey at 1.5m from camera tested at every manual focus setting with both f2.8 and f8.0. TBH I do not know what to make of this one and do not care much either :) Sorry for the poor image quality... bad light but...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    And lastly these 2 tests show again the aperture range with focus set at macro and then in the middle of the focus range. - When focusing close up increasing aperture will bring more into focus from 10m to infinity. - When focusing at 1m-5m some decent background blur or bokeh range is...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    This test is with focus at 1 marker off infinity (infinity basically) and through the aperture range. - Today this test revealed little variance from f2.8-f5.6 approx. If I had to pick which one is sharpest (which is hard to do) perhaps f4.0 or f4.5. - Diffraction quality loss is obvious...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    Well the repeat series of tests with some extras was interesting... note all the group shot examples were raw without any lens corrections but with +25 noise reduction/sharpening and +.5 exposure and +50 shadows (sun is not in ideal direction so to lift the brightness for comparing equal...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    Fair enough... I must have been overdue for a coffee. I do agree with that and also do not have as strict boundaries with my DSLR gear - although with that gear provided the subject is in focus the quality is so good that diffraction is irrelevant in normal viewing almost throughout the whole...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    Thanks for that! I did see this one before too. So his finding was "I can't see real difference in sharpness from f2.8 up till f6.3" and later recommends f2.8-f5.6 as sweet spot. My findings are not too much different at least. f2.8-f4.0 = f3.2 sweet spot middle vs f2.8-f5.6/f6.3 = f4.0/f4.5...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    I do not understand your post at all... Who is pixel peeping for a start... this test was solely done for myself to work out the manual focus settings for the sharpest results within the distance range. If I was viewing a print taken at the close up out of focus end of the scale (which is about...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    Here is the focus test... car number plate at 10m... chair at about 35m... tree/bank on other side of water at 85m... top of tree line at 100m... a little bit of wind in the trees at play. Image at 100% size just cropped some of the top sky off. Left side are close up/macro end of manual focus...

    Losing bokeh or quality when raising or lowering the aperture on P4P?

    Without having other tests to compare to it could be my copy of the lens but... for my real world test scene closest object was at 10m and furthest as 100m. I first tested the manual focus dial at every step and found a very quick roll off. Basically the last 3 notches at the infinity end had...
