After flying my phantom 4 pro and taking still pics when I got to download the pics to my computer I realize only the first picture was recorded to the SD card.

Aloha fanse32,

     Sometimes the photo button does not properly actuate.  If your sound is enabled, you should hear the sound of a camera shutter.  If you do not hear the camera shutter, you are not taking a photo.  The photos can be very large digital files so it takes a while for the image to be stored.  If you want to take photos in rapid succession, use the DJI setting for that so the digital load can be managed more effectively.  Otherwise, conflicts can occur that inhibit the process.  Check on this and let us know how it goes.

     Hope this helps!

Aloha and Drone On!

Do you take pictures by clicking the round button of APP or pressing the shutter button of RC? I would recommend you switch the picture format as JPEG, it may save some time of processing.

Aloha Susan,

     Good suggestion on the switch to .jpg.  I forgot about that one.

Not a real good solution if one wants to shoot in Raw as most pro photographers do.
