I have the same problem, I bought my AIR 3 in  december but tried it first time week ago(cold winter and life).

The 24mm is really bad when I compare it to my still working Mini 3 PRO, the corners are bad and upper right corner is even worse.  Sensor has better dynamic range which is nice but it doesn't help when optics are worse.

70mm is fine but this 24mm is useless in the way it is now.

My own fault that I didn't test it when it arrived, dead on arrival.  

Hi All,

I got the same problem on Air 3 24mm lens, it same error with oNabby:


After a week of trying with this new air3. I tested several times, with the focusing problem.
Video recording's great, no problem at all. only the photography's still horrible. (only 24mm, 70mm's ok)

I tried to figure out if it's the problem with focusing or only the smaller sensor size. (I owned Air2s, Mavic 3 Classic, Mini 4 Pro before, not facing this problem at all, all images are sharpness)

Is that Air 3 have this kind of issues?

I have also got a problem with soft right side of frame in my brand new Air 3. So seems it's quite a common "feat" on this drone.

That is what I am doing. Just hope to get a good copy back!

Got back a new drone producing crisp images.
