Hi, please, help. Is it normal preview for CDNG from I2 with X5S? I'm working with AE workflow and ACR, and there is no color profile for my .dng, only ELON, but ELON and ELOFF preview in ACR looks same like preview of file in MacOS, same on Windows.
He are these .dng.

What are your settings for stills in Go 4 (screenshot ?)?

OK, everything looks normal on settings page, except for ... WB. Not that it really matters a lot, but don't rely on Auto too much. It will fluctuate badly, making a sequence of stills hard to match, or a video with constantly changing colour temperature.  Set the WB on Sunny (for this day at least), or custom at about 5200K in general. Keep ISO at 100 whenever possible. I examined your files in my APS, they looks normal to my taste.

BTW, DJI standard 15 mm lens is not of best quality. I'll recommend Olympus 12 mm, you'll see great improvement in colour rendering and sharpness at sweet 5.6 aperture. Powodzenia!

Ok, thanks, it's something wrong with a calibration of colors in some different light conditions. I did a rollback to firmware before April 2018, and it's "Color" profile in ACR now, not "ELON" or "ELOFF", maybe that will make some different. That was my firmware when I add the license and SSD to my I2, when I was satisfied with CDNG, but it was the same Cinecore 2.1, so there shouldn't be any more excuses for me, maybe I just need to learn more how to setup a shot for a good image.  I will test this firmware. Dzięki
