Is this in 4K videos as well or only in pictures and 1080P material?

So the new FW brings improved anti camera distortion in 1080P video and still pictures. Maybe this has something to do with it and this could be a bug. What about your friend? He has the advanced version as well?

In the camera options there is a "video caption" option.  Try switching OFF the "video caption" feature.

Hmm, not updated yet, might put it off if this is universal.

Is the 16:9 option for pictures a cropped image?  (4000x2250?)  or is it a full 12Mpx image?  If it's just cropped you might as well keep the 'errored' jpg and crop it later as you'll get more usable data to work with...

Cheers, Chris H.

Happened to my Advanced as well .... in stills but not video.
And it's obviously absent in 16:9 because that crops the frame to leave that part out.

as wrote by kiwichrish for 16:9 camera is using smaller part of matrix, - same as for 1080p video recording.
at least we have confirmation this issue is after last patch so we can expect this to be fixed in near future.

16:9 is just cropping more.
Better to use 4:3 and Photoshop or crop yourself.
You still get a bigger image

I've also found that the issue much less noticeable if you do a video first and then switch to still photos. Its still there but much less noticeable.

It might be for you but I have 108 photos in one flight with a video taken in the middle.
All stills are equally affected as are sample shots made since.

ALL OF THIS PHANTOM 3 UPDATE STUFF IS GETTING VERY VERY OLD WHEN THEY GET IT ALL BUCKED OUT
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHACE THE PHANTOM 4 AND START THIS ALL OVER AGAIN.
EVERY TIME I FLY I JUST WONDER IS THIS BIRD GOING TO COME HOME OR NOT. LET ALONE TAKE PICTURES.
GOOD CONCEPT, I NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE GOPRO CAM.
