If you take a sphere/tiny planet in pure Auto exposure, will you see deliniations where one photo blends into the next???  I have always used either Manual or Auto Lock exposure but I'm now finding some areas in the shot over or underexposed.  I'm wondering if just straight Auto would fix this issue.  See the shot below...this was taken in Auto Lock and the middle third of the shot (top to bottom) is perfect exposure while the right third is overexposed and the left is hazy from afternoon sun (North is top).

Very nicely done. Manual (when done right) will produce the better results but the MA2 produces fairly good auto spheres in my experience with the drone.

Always shot RAW and manual, but you need to go really, really high ...

Hi Rustic17. We receive a response from our relative team and they've advised to kindly use Manual Mode when taking this kind of shot. Regarding the photo shared, it is normal due to the camera will auto exposure during the shooting and that will cause the exposure to be different in some parts of the photo.

And never do a 360 pano with polariser filter or a VND on the lens.
