Hello.  
Just got the Mini 2 and I’m very disappointed with the low quality of the images.  

When taking a 360 shot, the individual images on the SD card are saved at a pathetic 3 mega pixels each. Can someone please explain to me how I can get them so save at the native 12 Mega Pixel?

I see nothing obvious in the app I can adjust.

Thank you.

Have you turned on saving the raw (DNG) images for photos and panos,  then you can stitch manually with the highest quality.

in order to enable DNG raw capture for panoramic you have to
Get the Mini 2 in flight
Select Panoramic mode
Go into Settings -> Camera Settings
Turn on Jpeg + Raw

I just tried what you suggested and thankfully the RAW files are full resolution. Phew, I was very worried there for a moment. Ran a batch through PTGUI and I’m finally seeing some super high resolution images.

Thanks a million for the help.

Given the end goal is to achieve at least an 180 Mega Pixel 360 image, I'm perfectly fine with how long it takes :-) Realistically, the mini 2 is pretty quick even in RAW mode.
