Just thought I'd do an update.
I sent the Phantom back to quadcopters.co.uk. They have confirmed the fault which seems to be a hardware problem and are expediting a replacement from DJI.
I asked dronexpert.nl about how the tilt control is fitted and I got this:
"Next week we have planned a whole day to make clear instructions of this, it is a easy job, but if it is important to know exactly for you than i suggest you wait with the order after we finished the tutorials."
Just to add to this. I came across this post after posting my own.
I have this problem although the triangles aren't 100% identical.
As I mentioned in my own post the triangles don't seem to appear in RAW photos although my converter isn't perfect so I'm not total sure.
I've tried more than...
Having checked and re-checked the S-M-L settings many times now it appears that sometimes the default setting "L" if left as is takes the smaller shots. However if I manually select the size before taking any shots then it works as per the user manual.
This means that the Topic header is...
Infranview with some bodged settings does the job although imperfectly - colours are desaturated.

Settings:
4384 3288 (depending on the size of image you took)
12bpp - selected
Not normalized - selected
Misc:
Vert flip - checked
Bayer Pattern - checked
GR -...
It's possible, likely I suppose but it doesn't explain the fact that the RAW file seems to be OK. I guess there could be some bad RAM in the jpg processing side of the camera which is creating these triangles. I am waiting for my supplier to respond to my emails.
I've checked and rechecked the settings I'm using when taking photos because I thought that I might have been mistaken but on my system using the IOS app:
S = 4384x3288 (This is "L" in the manual)
M = 4384x2922 (as per manual)
L = 4384x2466 (This is "S" in the manual)
The pink artifacts only...
Indeed.. It did cross my mind :lol:
It would be useful for someone to confirm that they DON'T have this problem if they use either the M.... or the S mode (there I swapped and applied distance just for you gunslinger). As mentioned these modes are probably mis named as they are both of higher...
Ah... but "S" and "M" modes are larger! The "L" mode is a smaller cropped version. I was surprised myself. "S" mode, for example is 4384x3288 but "L" is only 4384x2466. I can only assume that DJI lost something in translation! :)
@garygid
Yes - I've updated my original post to reflect this...
I've tried the latest firmware and in fact I didn't update originally, I only updated to try to fix this problem, but no changes.
I've posted a new topic about this simply because I'm not convinced it is hardware fault (altho it might be of course!).
This problem has been mentioned already here:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5086
These artifacts only seem to appear in the "S" and "M" modes. There is no sign of any problem in the default "L" mode.
So the reason why I've created a new topic is because I'm not convinced it is a faulty camera - as the...
I have the same problem but I'm not totally convinced it is a faulty camera. First of all I have these pink triangles in precisely the same places which is odd (altho doesn't mean that it isn't simply the same fault). Whilst there isn't a proper RAW file reader yet I've had some success getting...
