Hi.

i'm traveling and i just flew my Mini 3 Pro, took a few photos and a video and landed it. When I plugged my SD card into the computer, as I always do, none of the new photos I took were on the card — all the ones from my previous shoots still were. I checked the library view on the RC, same, no new photos.

So I took a new photo with the drone just sitting there. it snows in the library fine. i eject the card and plug it into the Mac — not there. i plug it back in the drone — not there in the library view either. I take another one; same thing happens. Everything I shoot seems to be lost.

It's *not* getting stored on the internal storage either; I plugged the drone straight into the Mac, and I see both "drives", but the internal one is completely empty.

After turning of the drone, 1 see ~1m of video footage labeled as "cache" in the library view in the RC.

What could be going on? I'm really anxious to shoot some footage while I'm in this location...

Found the problem. I always shoot RAW, so to avoid hassle with the duplicate JPEG files when importing to Lightroom, I had Hazel.app configured to automatically move the JPEGs to the trash ;). It seems somehow the drone reverted to shooting only JPEG, without my interaction (I've seen it lose other settings, such as 48MP vs. 12MP, before, but not this one).
PS: why does the forum cut off the text when I use emoji? Had to go and retype this again. is this a known issue?

yes, but it's rather bad that the editor lets you add emoji, and then just loses all the text you typed, when you post...
