Hi All I think I'm having some trouble with my Mavic Pro. It seems all my videos and images look so flat and boring. I've tried reseting the camera settings and choosing white balance based on the weather. Everything looks washed out. Looking back at all my footage, it pretty much all looks like this.

Now a friend of mine just got the Mavic Air and he sent me a couple videos and they look vastly better. He is using auto everything and not doing any post processing.

I thought the Mavic Air and Pro had the same camera? Is the Mavic Air that much better or is something wrong with my pro? Thanks for the help.

Can you post examples of your washed out pictures or videos?

I can probably get a couple pics but not sure about videos.

Do some youtube search on video settings and you should be OK!

Are you shooting RAW or one of the Log profiles? (D-Log D-Cinelike) That could cause your images and videos to look flat or washed out until you run them through your editing software.

The Mavic Pro seems to have a bit more 'flat' profile by default.
You can do a lot of tweaking on that part, but that is how the 'pro's' like it so they can add their own grading to it.

Hi thanks for the help. I am using all auto settings. Color profile is normal...no dlog or anything. If you look at these images you can see they have a yellow tint to them. It's 2 different locations on separate days.
