Unfortunately people call the tele lens on Mavic 3 for a zoom lens. It is not. The M3 has two lenses, a wideangle with a large sensor, and a tele lens with a much much smaller sensor. There is no zoom on the Mavic 3, except so-called digital zoom, which is nothing more than cropping of the image.
The tele lens has an angle of view similar to approx. 162mm on a 35mm camera, in other words a medium short tele. The sensor behind that lens is very small, which means the image quality is not as good as the wide angle lens.
But it is impressive to see how good quality images people get from that lens, despite its shortcomings. With good light during shooting, and proper post processing, you can get really good quality from the tele lens. Search the forum and you will find some great example photos.
That is exactly why I'm seeking DJi documentation. I figured I would ask here in case someone outside of DJi [an end-user], knew where such documentation could be accessed. In regard to the rest of your post, it seems I'm out of luck if I purchase the M3s with the telephoto --due to the primary application being at night, along with, we are not photographers and will not be post processing anything. We are seeking the best possible image/video with a bare-lens and with only the available ambient street or vehicle head lights.
I'm sure there may be times I'll wish we had the telephoto lens but, those times wouldn't include our primary night-time application environment. I 'think' we might be better-off using the telephoto-lens savings for an extra battery or two.
Your thoughts? |
