Hi
I have about 15 flights with my mavic and got to play with the settings mostly since it's my first camera drone. what are exactly the benefits of filming in D-log and other presets because I find it to give me a lot of post prod work.
I did a bit of research on settings and everyone recommend to use these.
Anyway I love the aircraft and it's really convinrent to transport etc.
D-Log is not necessarily recommended by all of the later reviewers, supposedly (but not verified) because of a change that came about from a firmware update:
It seems to be such a subjective topic, and I don't even have the requisite experience to provide even a subjective answer. In my simple mind it's down to whatever mode gives you the closest to a color balance and sharpness you like (i.e minimize work in post), without losing detail that you can't then recover in post.
That does seem to be extremely subjective, and I haven't been able to do enough testing to have my own opinion yet.
the D-log with the latest firmware on the mavic is very muddy imo. depending on the DJI go App, I would say go with cinelike (-1,-1,-1 or -2,-1,-1).
Alternatively I really like Film A and H on the DJI go 4 app (though I rarely use DJI go 4 app due to it bugging out frequently on my s7 edge, seems fine on my tablet.)
