I'm hoping that it's just something I'm missing.
I had a P3 Standard and was so unhappy with the video quality - blurry image and TONS of artifact. I returned it to Best Buy and not only exchanged but upgraded to the P3 Pro.
So much happier with the RC and the aircraft itself. Seems way more solid and stable. HOWEVER... After spending double on the Pro I'm still very disappointed in the video quality. The focus isn't sharp really at all... I mean it's not totally blurry but from looking at other posted videos my camera is delivering nowhere NEAR the same quality and others who are raving about this unit.
Even after post production and trying to fix the contrast and color correction I'm getting a poor result. Nothing like what I was hoping for. I haven't attempted shooting a still yet - frankly, now I'm kind of nervous to do it in fear that I'll be crushed![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm shooting in 1080P because I'm sure my "HD" TV can't show anything higher than that. I've also adjusted settings to follow a tutorial that I saw online regarding "flat" settings so that there is more flexibility in post production. Now I AM new to all of this video stuff and I'm learning as I go, but it just seems to me that even in all auto settings I should be getting a decent, clean, crisp (even maybe too crisp) video image.
Is there a way to check camera focus or to re-focus the camera? I'm at work so I don't have any footage to post but I'll try and get that done tonight when I get home.
I'm concerned because I really took my time with this unit. I got it home, carefully unboxed it, installed the new firmware according to instruction, recalibrated the IMU and the gimbal, read the entire manual and even tutorial videos... I flew it for the first time on Saturday... when I first viewed it on my iPad it seemed so much happier with the video quality (no artifacts) but when I got it home I just couldn't believe how much detail I was missing. Even when hovering fairly still I couldn't make out the true features of my face. What am I doing wrong to get such a soft focus on my P3 Pro camera??![Er... what? o_O o_O](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
