Hi guys, including DJI Mods,
I did some long exposure shots last night, it meant choosing the MAnual mode for photos, choose the shutter speed long. I chose ~2 second.

I notice 1 thing, and my 2 other friends with their Spark also the same:
-When I push the button to take photo, in the 2 second of exposure, the aircraft will lost signal. The screen on DJI Go 4 app will show "No Signal" for 2 second during the exposure, then normal after finish the shot.
I think all Sparks will be the same, you guys can try that.
Therefore, I wonder if this is a glitch, or something intentionally programmed?

Attached are the photos

Nice shots!!
Likely intentional to keep the AC steady during the long exposure.
I haven't tried it yet, but that would make sense.

Thank you. That sounds reasonable let's wait for some answer from the DJI rep

The pictures look great! And it is normal to get the no signal during exposure, no worries.

Nice shots! Yes i do fairly a good amount of night shots myself and noticed this, but it always reconnects after that. Most times its quite short.Edit: I use 2 sec shutter with 100ISO and in tripod mode.
