Photo Setting

[Jason Doland]

Hello All!

I have been flying my Phantom 4 for a few months now but have not done a lot with the camera. I'm going to be taking some photos from above at a golf tournament at my home course in the next couple of weeks. I was wanting to get some input on what are the best camera settings to use. Its been very hot and sunny here, so I was wanting advice on camera settings in the bright sun and best settings if it's overcast. Thanks in advance for your input!

I would go automatic in daylight, with the exposure compensation dialed in on the right controller wheel.....you need to get a feel of what a good exposure looks like so practice with a DSLR is suggested. Its a snap!

As far as light, you want a brighter more contrasty light, and a good knowledge of general photographic lighting......its trial and error. I'd do some test runs on a few days to see what works best for you....sadly I have to say that even if you are flying for free, if the end use is your home golf course you need a license....

It's just taking pictures for myself, don't believe I need a license for that
