Hi all,
For now I had always used the color mode "Normal" to take video.
But from firmware 1000 it's a big disappointement, picture seems to be overexposed! More contrasted and less saturated.
Is it a choice from Dji or an error ?
I found that some tweak in settings should improve result, I haven't tried for yet

"As far as I've been able to test, d-log or d-cine haven't changed. However when shooting in normal mode, saturation has been decreased and contrast increased. That's why people who normally shoot in normal mode have noticed such change. I don't care too much about this problem as is can be fixed setting camera adjustments to 0,-2,+2 if shooting in normal or trying to record using D-cine which shows up realistic colors."

Could you please provide me with some original pictures of AF and Normal color, upload them to Dropbox and paste the link here? I'd like to have a check. Thank you.

My understanding from DJI support is that "Normal" always boosted saturation in green. For this reason I've been shooting TrueColor, which captures video unmodified from the sensor. With 1.04.000 there may be changes to Normal mode, exactly what, though, is unclear from the release notes which state "Adjusted the color in Normal mode to Vivid."

Probably to “fix” I.e compensate for the noise reduction that would happen previously, causing the water paint effect.

After few tests I found settings that match a better result too take pictures with Normal color ( for my opinion ).
Normal color 0, -2. +1
Or I use Vivid
