It changes from RAW to JPG in some of the 'intelligent' flight modes such as active track. I've reported it many times since February, and DJI Ken even promised to give me an answer months ago but never did. It's really annoying when as a pro adventure sports photographer you buy the drone exactly for this purpose and it can't do it.
Even more annoying is the way that DJI just ignore the issue and never fix it.
And for a yet unknown reason, my Mavic keeps selecting 4K video mode even when I had chosen 720.
This is very irritating as my SD card runs of course out of space unexpectedly.
No firmware update, no app update.
I hope that DJI will fix all those bugs soon.
Im in the same situation , I only need to use DNG files for Photogrammetry but when it does switch to JPG with poor quality it cant be used for any quality work.
Active track seems incapable of shooting a RAW file (seems to be a major drawback). It changes the photo output to JPG and it remains at JPG after exiting active track until you manually set DNG again. Its very annoying.
The other intelligent modes ive used (course lock, home lock, POI orbit) dont seem to do this.
I am having the same problem,travelling an hour to photo some mountain landscape for a poster,set my p4 pro to raw and jpeg,get home and all I have is jpegs?
How am I going to do the poster now??
