Hello,
During a photo session for example about 2 hours before sunset, I have a clear and white halo on my images. After testing and retesting, I found that the halo is at the exact location where should normally be the projection of the shadow of the drone!

DJI advised me to change the SD card (but of course!) And to reset the camera ... It didn't change anything.

This is my second Mavic 2 PRo and I also had the problem! I'm sur it's a hardware problem

Does anyone have the same problem?

DJI is the last place to go if you want useful information.

You're sure it's a hardware problem?
One that only shows up when the sun is behind the camera?
Everyone has this "problem"

As Labroides suggested, it is just a shadow of the drone when the sun is behind the camera, it could be in other positions and disappear when you fly in different directions.

yes but not a solution to move the drone because change the point of view. and it's not just a shadow but a blank and light halo and very difficult to erase it with photoshop or LR !

The only problem you have is that you haven't read the link I gave you.

The lighting effect is normal and I see it frequently; it's even more noticeable when you're recording low-level video. You can see it on the attached picture of mine too.
As Labroides helpfully linked, the optical effect is a Heiligenshein (literally a Halo) or lighting Hotspot, where the sun's light is collectively reflected back to the observer's point of view when the sun's light is shining directly behind them.

You can see it mid-right on this high level corn field picture I took. There is nothing you can do to stop it but use a feathered circular selection in editing to reduce its effect.


Cheers
Ian
