Please help, ISO is locked @500

Ripper7620 · Apr 24, 2018

My ISO is stuck on @500, whether it's locked or not. The ISO dial will not light up to let me adjust it no matter what I've tried. This is the most bizarre thing that has happened in all my experience with drones. How can it be stuck @500?! Thank you in advance!

You have the camera settings on D-Log
Change that and you'll be back to normal

Yes, I had no idea that would lock the ISO. So...maybe all my footage isn't ruined, as my histogram was spot on where it should be with the apature settings I used to compensate. Thank you!!

This is a strange issue for sure as the Mavic will allow D-Log at base ISO 100. 500 on the P4 is just too high and will push the shadows into excessive noise. May work for video, but for stills, just too much noise. Even base of 100 is tricky at times. I wanted to experiment with D-Log but as you point out you are locked at ISO 500 and that is true for stills also. So you have to constantly switch back and forth and IMO it just takes too much time of the 25 minutes I want to be up. and it's too easy to forget anyway and ruin an entire shoot taking everything at ISO 500.
