Hi there, pilots!

I have just bought my Mavic and was doing some first flights and recording random footage at 4k 30fps with auto everything.

I have spotted a strange effect on videos during flight, which I can identify as an exposure flicker during the shots. I have read several posts on the board regarding that now and will definetely try out custom settings and fixed exposure to see what happens with the footage and this strange effect.

I am posting this short video (original), I hope there will be thise who can tell whether everything is fine or it is my doublethoughts?

Effect can be seen during 0:10 - 0:12 and 0:20 - 0:25.

Cheers!

I was not looked at you movie but the flickering It is a know problem of the codec used by the mavic camera to encode the movie...every 8 frames you will have a uncompressed key frame that will be more clear than the rest...from there the flickering effect. Most visible on surfaces with a lot of small detail.

I can't see the flickering but it did seem rather out of focus.
