| I shoot panoramas with panoheads on the ground but I need to do an aerial one now. I have limited experience with drones but can still manage a basic flight. I have a question about the Phantom 4 Pano mode shooting with the latest fimrware.I know it automatically takes 34 pictures and stitches them together by itself to create a spherical panorama if you choose that mode. But can I also get those individual unstitched images? Are all those saved separately on the SD card and in which folder. |

Saved in separate folder on sd card , you can then use what ever stitching software you want .
My advice is not to use the pano mode. One reason is that the images are JPEG and if you are a serious photographer you will do so much better with RAW. The next reason is that the pano mode takes its pictures from a level tilt position which generally puts the horizon in the middle of the shot--this is not ideal. Try taking a series of images by rotating the drone around its vertical axis, overlapping as you would do with a tripod. Or you can do vertical panos by tilting the camera up and down. Then download the images into your normal photo processor like Photoshop, make your adjustments and then stitch together. I include one example.
Sky is certainly on point, great shot btw. A slight clockwise rotation may help even it out a bit maybe?
I shoot pano's pretty frequelty, and just for the record you can use the auto mode but just set to jpg+raw for those images so you get the benefit. I've actually never used the app's stitching before, just Lightroom or Microsoft ICE.
