Just got the Mavic a couple days ago and have noticed a green dot in my footage when the drone is facing into the sun. Is this a normal overexposure scenerario where the light could be bouncing off the lens, or could there be something wrong with the lens? I do plan on getting ND filters soon, not sure if that would help or not, and I don't intend to shooting into the sun very often. Example video below, shot at 4k, white balance is on auto.
Green dot at very beggining
Tap Focused Camera at 0:13s
Green dot reappears at 0:20s
This is completely normal. Just a lens flare. You get them with all cameras with the sun hitting the lens.
I think it will be reduced with ND filters, but not completely gone.
It's not normal and it doesn't look like sun flare at all. If it is sun flare we would have the same perfect green dot on everyone's footage when facing sun.

Hi there, the video seems to be deleted, but i also have a blue or tgreen dot in my videos.. how did you solve this???
how did you solve this?
It's simple.
It's flare and it's caused by shooting directly towards teh sun.
Avoid shooting straight at the sun and you avoid flare.
At the end its not too bad and it really is just in early golden hour in my case. Generally the lens flare is less than with previous models..if it's there , it's just more concentrated. What helped me quite a lot:
bought a camera hood for my DJI Mini 3 and the angle I get lens-flare is much smaller than it is without the hood.
