It's not really that confusing. Break it down this way.
To use a photo drone, you need to learn to fly first. I'm not talking about pushing buttons or relying on automated RTH and other features of the drone to keep you flying - I mean you have to learn to pilot your drone yourself. That's step one. If you can't fly - you can't take pictures or video.
The other part of the equation is - to properly use your camera, you need to learn to USE the camera and learn about photography. I can tell you for certain that anyone who tells you you can take good photos without understanding how things like shutter speed, aperture, ISO etc, affect the quality of the photos you take with your drone, 1) doesn't have a clue about photography, 2) has a low standard of the photos/video they take or 3) is satisfied with one in four photos coming out "ok".
So: Learn to fly first, learn to use the camera properly second.
Lastly - EVERYONE has to stop blaming the camera for their lack of photograph skills - if you're using "auto" settings - you're willing to take what you get. I'm not.
Good luck and fly safe.
