Hi

I have tried to read and rest but still the pictures that I take at flight for my Air 2 S is not sync to my phone. Weill with the same, my Mini 2 sync well. Checking the Fly App, I see the videos not the pictures. I am using Iphone 11 and I have updated with the latest version for both Phone and Air2s.

Is this this a bug, known issues or it is to perform poor like this (planned poor performance)?

At the same location vertical flight with clear air space I had loss of signal twice with blank screen. I used to test my Mini 2 at the same spot. Mini had no issue but Air2 has.

Advise please?

This is absurd - this feature has been broken on the Air 2S since I got it over a year ago. DJI Thor, don't beat around the bush with incorrect advice - either state that it's broken and not going to get fixed, or fix it. There have been 100's of similar posts - fix it. NOW. It works in the DJI Go app, it should be an easy fix - if you're actually interested in fixing it.

Hi, its all about any photo or video that I take. Its not sync to phone. Videos … i can find a low res in the DJI Fly app album but not the photos. So how do we recover the photos if the Drone crash? The purpose of the sync is you have a copy in the phone as a backup. This is disappointing!!!

I tried twice  once it disconnected and the next I had a weak signal. And its a clear vertical fly. I did not have that with Mini 2

My 3rd disappointment is photo has no digital zoom!

All makes it to see Mini 2 is better the Air2 s ?

I want a fix for the Picture / video sync to phone fixed soonest, please.

One more question that I missed, with Mini 2 when I shoot Pano and wide, the files are stored in PANORAMA folder and I can extract and manage the file sequence and build my own with DJI Media Maker.

No here i dont see the folder and I cant find the file sequence

I feel this Air2s has issues and i would ask for a 1:1 replacement

Hello, there. Sorry for your inconvenience. May we know can you find them in the DCIM file?
Besides, if it's possible, please try to use another SD card to see if it persists.

I tried again with another SD card, its the same, no PANORAMA folder with images and it did not sync to phone the media and only had the video in the DJI FLY app Album.

And it created LOST.DRI in this SD card too.

Can this be escalated if this level cant answer my questions? I need an answer soon as I have a paid used for this and I did not buy this to be a tester, i have promises that i need to complete.

The option to save each image of a panorama is in the menu/options on the lower right of the screen ( where the current shutter speed, etc is shown). Just press that... while in the panorama mode... and it will give you the option to save each image as either jpg or raw/dng. Only by enabling that will it give you that folder.

You can use the Fly app's album to view/ download and share the photos. It does not do it "on the fly" anymore since it was affecting the stability and performance with all that data being transferred while flying. That issue was abundantly clear when the Air2s was first released and I think that stopping that automatic downloading/syncing has been a way to combat/improve that.

Hi .. yes that is option for the file format only? Usually when pano is shot it will  the individual files in a Panorama folder so that we can download and work on the 3rd party software. That is missing.

noted that, but the primary reason why the image is sync to phone as we shoot during flight, was as a backup incase we loose the drone and for few other reasons. We can down load after the shoot  but its a risk to put all in one basket that is high up in the sky. Mini 2 can sync ...and if DJI says more advance drone (as they said for the sales ad) cant do it and has issues from the date it was launched, they should have add that in product info, then we have the choice to buy it or not. It looks like as you said  DJI sold us, knowingly and hiding it from the buyer a product that has multiple defect that was not explicitly informed to customer even after a year in production. This they have to recall and refund us !!!!! Misleading and selling a product with known issues  ? Is it not an offence?

There IS a setting to save them. Once that is enabled, they will be saved in a panorama folder. I will look at some older posts because I could've sworn I posted a few screenshots of how to access the saving of individual panorama images.

hi Thor, any update on 1. the LOST.DIR folders and some media with a DOT prefix and hidden- this is critical as i dont want to end up having a corrupted media 2. media not sync to phone/DJI FLY APP (this is critical as i will loose the work if it crash else where  3. No Digital Zoom for picture mode. 4. Is it normal the motors get heated up with single flight.

Is there a formal way to raise a complaint ticket that i can use later if I need to take it to consumer complaint tribunal ?

Sorry to hear about that.

1. Please kindly note that LOST.DIR files are generated by the system which generates even after deleting. For the “some media with a DOT prefix and hidden-”, could you please provide us with a screenshot for our further check? 2. For the Auto Sync HS Photo feature, please kindly note that our team has been working on it and will update the function ASAP. 3. DJI Air 2s doesn't support the zoom function in Photo mode. 4. When the aircraft motor rotates at high speed, there will be a certain degree of heat generation. For example, the temperature of the flight environment is too high, or the motor works under a high load for a long time due to the large flight attitude, which will cause the motor temperature to rise high. This situation is normal.

Lost.Dir is an Android system file designed to store and collect corrupted and accidentally deleted data/files.

But it is usually found in Android devices, I have no idea why a drone storage would have it unless there is something to do with the Fly app (Android). But then what about the iOS users? Do their drones also have a Lost.dir created in the cards?

Here it is...for point 1 ..i formatted the SD card before shooting again

2. How long it has been going on for last 1 year or more ? and still not fixed? Then should have hold the sales? Knowing it has a major issue and still selling? I was made to understand even Mavic 3 has the same issue? Point 4: i was a straight climb and non windy time. I dont see the same with Mini2
