Hi there!
There is a problem with camera defocus in the left corner. Full photo and 2 photos - crop of the right side and left side. Defocus is clearly visible on buildings located on the same line. They must be either equally blurred or equally sharp. Especially noticeable in the video! But this is not always the case. Sometimes focus more or less correctly. As a solution - take several photos with different focus points. Something will be in focus. But what about video? On the screen during shooting, defocus is not visible. I tried different focus modes - manually and at infinity (landscape mode). The result is different in both cases.And the fourth photo is a screenshot from the video. You can clearly see how the left side is out of focus while the right side is sharp.
Am I the only one with this problem or do many people have this problem?I also have a 12 mp vignette and 48 mp not.

Someone else staring into the Pixels rather than looking at the overall Picture. I think you need to focus on what is important and not such tiny no issues

In general I agree with you. In the photo it is not very noticeable, especially in social networks, then in the video it is very visible.

There is definitely something not right there, were you moving when you took these photos, there is a serious amount of rolling shutter in some of these. Also was it very windy. If no is the answer to both you might just have a dud camera.

Probably a decentred lens, or an unfortunate side-effect of something built to a budget.

I had the exact same issue, I emailed support about it and they recommended that I upgrade/refresh my firmware. I did that and tried a few shots today, the issue doesn't appear to be there anymore. I'll do some more testing though as it's possible I wasn't high enough from the ground compared to earlier shots. Here are some examples of the issue before/after. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get a comparative photo from the same location as I'd have to go on a long hike ;)

You can refresh the firmware using the "DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series)" software that can be found on DJI website.
Here is a a link, sorry I can't select the english page, but the software is the same : https://www.dji.com/fr/downloads ... sumer-drones-series

In my opinion, the problem is the autofocus which jumps neatly, today I was recording a movie and I had something that I was flying in cine mode and suddenly the sharpness jumped as you can see in the adobe premiere screenshots, it is bad that on DJI RC it is not possible to do this only after zooming in on the yotube 4k

we do not want a drone with the mavic 3 cine functions , we just want the functions that the mini 3 pro has to be refined, in the end it costs a lot and has "pro" in the name

I have had the Mini 3 Pro for 3 days. I've spent all my spare time trying to take one image or video that was not out of focus in the lower right corner. I've been unsuccessful. My camera is simply manufactured and shipped out of DJI's door, with a bad focus problem in one corner. It appears that the sensor is not perfectly flat, or is not perfectly parallel to the lens. It affects about 20% of the total image area. It isn't a little blurry either, it is very blurry (much worse than the original post). And it will be returned because of this. Nobody ought to have to suffer a camera wherein every image and video are noticeably out of focus in much of the total area. This is a big quality control issue, and if you get one like mine, you will return it too- nobody would accept this! It is a shame too, because this little aircraft flies like a dream... but that alone is not enough, it has to be able to focus the entire image. ,

Update: I returned the defective unit, and got a different Mini 3 Pro, which works perfectly, and the camera is in focus from corner to corner, really nice! I'm very impressed by what this camera and this drone can do. The low light capabilities are amazing, ability to rotate the camera vertical, 48MP still images, 10bit 4k video, and 360° panos that capture the entire sphere, from nadir to zenith. These are great capabilities and this drone (the second one I received) now lives up to and exceeds expectations. The only thing I will complain about is the still very exaggerated flight times. The longest flight I have achieved thus far (with the + battery) was 32 minutes, 15% remaining, so 35 or 36 minutes if I had flown it down to zero. It claims 47 minutes, which is just so... not possible. Still, overlooking that, I'm very happy with the mini 3 pro now.
