A couple things: the Mavic's camera works best with lots of light, dreary days are going to give you dreary footage on any camera. The number one thing a camera needs is good light, and the Mavic's camera really doesn't shine without strong light. Negative sharpening in lower light is a recipe for grief, so avoid that setting in such conditons.
Panning as shown in your demo is the most challenging video type of content to compress, and on top of that, to pan smoothly at the speed you are attempting you really need to have a faster frame rate -- you can test this by repeating your pan speed at 30fps, 60fps, and 96fps and comparing results. Note that frame rates above 30fps will exhibit reduced video quality but improved motion capture. Most of us prefer to shoot at 30fps to keep the highest video image quality and live with slow panning when we want that kind of shot.
I shot this footage at 30 FPS to try and recover the severe motion blur I was getting at 24 FPS. Thanks for the added info. I know a lot about how cameras work and the settings in different situations, but this Mavic is giving me a run for my money trying to get quality footage. |
