I took a look at the movie clip you posted and it looks just fine. On the other hand, the stills look awful, but I am wondering why? It makes no sense for a focus problem to manifest itself in still mode but not movie mode.
The last link (zip file) is from a review site I used to compare my images with. You do have to have the Adobe DNG codec for windows installed or a viewer to see the DNGs in their true resolution. The review DNG (the swimming pool shot) is pretty crisp, with any blur stretching maybe across two or three pixels at worst. The video in that zip file is not mine. Mine are the forest shots. The blur in mine looks like it is stretching across several if not a couple dozen pixels. It looks completely out of focus.
I've looked at other P3 Pro review photos and there have been some varying degrees of focus sharpness. I could not find any specific P3 Adv photos. I am wondering if mine is just way out of focus. I see the hex screws in the back of the sensor housing, and I am hoping this is one of the sensors with the screw on lenses that you can adjust focus. But before I mess with that risking unnecessary damage, I want to check if the Adv is only capable of the quality in my photos compared to the P3 Pro review images I've seen, such as the one in the zip file.
I'm going run a couple tests today to see if it is vibration. My blades have been mowing lawns in grassy forest fields and have a few dings that I lightly sanded. Likely they are out of balance. I don't have a propeller balancer though. Still, the type of blur in my images do not look like a vibration blur, which is more an ellipsoidal or linear streaking. The blur in mine is a very out-of-focus blur. This blur has also been present since my first shots when the blades were new. |
