This Panorama was taken with the Mavic Air. I stitch the RAW images in Lightroom.
I am waiting for Pro 2 to arrive. It is not clear from the manual if the Pro 2 can do this.

Does the Pro 2 save the RAW images to the SD card in the same way as the MA?

Wow. This is stunning. Thanks for sharing.

Yes you can select to save original in raw on the mavic 2.
That one example looks a fair bit over saturated and unnatural to my eye!

Thanks for that . It was an awesome sunset! I am hoping the 1” sensor will give me a better dynamic range and perhaps saturation (on my processing) will improve

Nice panorama, even if I agree that the colors do not look very natural.
Why is your thread labeled "Mavic 2 Pro", while the pano have been shot with a Mavic Air?

Because I have ordered a Mavic 2 Pro - and I cannot find an answer to Panorama question. I posed the image to show I knew about the Panorama functions.

OK, makes sense!

WOW that is an awesome photo!

Great picture. Looks like from another planet.

In my app it’s not possible to save the pictures of an panorama separate as dng.

Beautiful pano - very good work!  

Nice photo

I have always saved my RAW (DNG) files to the microSD card  - there is an option in the GO4 app to do this. The auto DJI stitch is a jpg - using photo software to stitch the images (eg Lightroom) produces better results in my opinion.
My Pro2 was delivered today so I will investigate.

No need to investigate, it is there.

With the MP2, if you select "save original" as raw, you will have each separate pano (using the automated modes) in a folder.  You should also have a jpg in your main folder of images that has been created by the drone.  This is a bit different than the MPP as if you selected raw  and used the pano modes, the panos were stored in unique folders with both raw and jpg even you have only raw selected.

It's a bit confusing the way DJI implemented the pano modes with the MP2.  Also if you have raw selected for singles, and you switch to a pano mode your image counter on the main screen of DJIgo4 will show jpgs and remaining image count based on jpg.  However if you picked "save original" as a raw the actual pano will be saved in dng files in a unique folder on the card.

Nicely done - thanks for sharing.

Superb panorama, very impressive. Thanks for sharing

I can confirm that the Mavic 2 Pro is recording the RAW files, provided that you enabled this option, as shown above.
I took a 180° panorama this weekend, and ended up with 21 RAW files and 1 JPG file of 21 megapixels.
By processing the 21 RAW files with Lightroom, I was able to obtain a stunning 99 megapixels panorama (after crop).

This is a beautiful shot and a great job of stitching the images together; those blue skies can be problematic, but your's look great! There is a lot of noise in the water, did you do any noise reduction in that edit? What were the camera settings?

As it was a quick test of the panorama feature, I didn't pay much attention to the settings. The shots were made at ISO 100, 1/320s and f/5.0. The aperture was certainly not the best for this type of shot, it should have been closed a bit more (f/7.1 maybe?). I was in AF mode, but it would have been better to be in manual mode, and focus to infinity (I have the feeling that the focus was made quite close). And moreover, I was in AWB, and for a pano it would be better to select one specific setting for better consistency.
I did not apply any noise reduction to the shot.

Beautiful shot

If you can - point at the lightest part of the image and get an exposure that only just blows the highlights - lock that exposure - keep the AWB constant. Stitch the RAW images and then adjust the overall exposure of the completed Panorama. The sun will always completely  blow the highlights!

Although I was in auto exposure mode, the M2P was clever enough to lock the exposure, as all the 21 RAW files have exactly the same settings. How did it determine the correct settings to use? I don't know, but it would be great if it would scan the whole FOV of the pano to determine the perfect exposure to use...

Did the DJI Go app. take these shots automatically or did you manually move the camera and trigger each shot?

For automated panorama shooting, can you configure the number of shots, the field of view or the overlap between shots?

Or can you configure the number of rows or columns?

Hi,  How did you shoot this picture with your drone? it looks beautifull

Great photo!

I use the DJI Go app. Save the images to the card and stitch in Lightroom. This was a stunning evening - I took mostly still camera images that night. I live reasonably locally and in 5 years this was the most amazing evening - which is why I went.

i tried to select pan to raw and it saved jpg. i state that m2p and zoom dont save raw file for pan.

I have a P4P20.

I stumbled across this post, while looking for a possibility to save a panorama in raw (.dng). Can you confirm that this option shown in screenshot (Save original panorama as raw) is only available for MP2, and not for P4P20?

Besides that ... stitching works so far with Lightroom 10 (LR10) Photo Merge (panorama). However if there are bigger sky areas, LR10 Photo Merge fails to stitch pictures (180 degrees, 21 pictures). ICE requires renaming filenames to force the right order, and the DJI Media Maker only saves .jpg.

Questions:
1. Does my DJJ GO 4 iOS app support raw (.dng) export of stitched panorama with P4P20 aircraft?
2. If not, which PC/Apple software is best to stitch properly and export as raw?

Thanks,
