Hi guys
I'm surpised that many haven't noticed this,
when compare to mavic or spark, the air has really dissapointing and "vintage" looking color profile,
DJI did you went too far with this vintage look? the face is yellow instead of pink in the spark

I don't know about this particular shot but in Casey Neistat's video I found the Mavic Air's camera to be quite good,

I've actually already suspected that the color profile is a bit off in Casey's video,  but it was strongly confirmed in iJustin's review (P.S the screenshot is taken from iJustine's review of the AIR)

I have the same problem with my MAVIC AIR.
If i shot a picture in JPG (with no style modification and color set to normal), the color profile make look the pic vintage. If i shot the pic in RAW, color profile looks "normal".
This color profile makes impossible to shot any pic directly in JPG. Anyone know how to fix it?

this is the JPG pic


this one is the RAW with no color balance

I think it is always best to shoot raw, but indeed it looks a bit 'Canon like' if you ask me (Nikon user here).
But you can tweak the profile right?
(I don't have a Air yet, so can't confirm)

i am amazed and shocked that the whole review community did not pick this up,
the mavic air default color profile is set to "Vintage" and is infact, horrible!

How do you change this from vintage to normal

Ya, it’s really purple. I’d love to know how to get it to look more true to life blue

JPG coloring on the mavic air is horrible. is there a solution for this?
it makes me have to edit the DNG (RAW) in the computer.
and there is no way to extract the RAW using the DJI GO app... so I have to

I actually took my Mavic Air back to the vendor today to replace it because I thought my unit was faulty.

After bringing saturation back into a video file shot in D-Cinelike, the whole image has a red cast making it unusable without heavy colour correction.

I'm gonna have to ask DJI to give me another model drone, because this is frankly unacceptable for a $1,000 drone.
