Hi Guys, I'm Peter from Macedonia, a recent P3A owner that bought the drone from Germany. I'm a professional studio / outdoors photographer for over 15 years, so I've done a lot of pixel peeping throughout the years and I know when something is not right.
I've read a couple of threads about badly focused P3 cameras after I've noticed that my unit has a really poor image quality at the center.
The image (100% crop from the center) below was taken on a sunny day with an ND16 filter, ISO 100, shutter at 1/100.
- Yes I've taken a couple of images with no filter / bare lens and confirmed that indeed there's a problem with the center of the image, this is also noticable on video if you look for it.
My question is, instead of returning the drone (bought it from Mediamarkt in Germany, I'm in Macedonia, lenghty procedures etc.), is there a fix that I can do it myself? I'm pretty good with dissasembling electronics (dslr lenses, dslr bodies etc.)
I've learned that I could try with trying to align the sensor board, but can someone point me into the right directions so I don't waste hours trying over and over again? Do i have to take off the lens, break the glue and try to focus it manually?
Thanks.
