I've had my Mavic Pro for a little over a year, but I haven't used it since last fall until this week.  The new update loaded and installed, but now my video looks weird.  Last year, when shooting 4k 30fps, I set my style to -1,-1,0.  But I noticed in my footage that the trees have a smudgy watercolor look to them.  Quickly consulting youtube, I still see that most folks using D-log like me use these settings as well, or even -2,-2,0 (which looks like complete crap now).  Did something change?  Thanks!

I'm so glad to read this (or not, if you catch my drift) , I was also going crazy, waisted a whole day yesterday.
I thought i forgot to zoom, changed today to +1 from 0 and then it was good again

Is there a possibility to rollback via DJI GO?
I can't get Assistant to work or e.g., the connection to the Drone is not working.

Do you know it the .200 have the same issue, I got the assistant to work in the middle of downgrading now. What about the batteries?
Edit.

Downgraded to .0100 and got a reply on the batteries

When you open the go app hold down on the 3 lines at top right until it prompts you firmware, select drop down box and chose the 0100 or 200, so far for me the 0100 is the most stable, I have tried both and had issues went back to 100 and rock solid again

Ok, thanks but it don't ask for the batteries to be downgraded when i try them on checked in the app and all seems good now.

If no error then leave as is Has Bob said better to have newer firmware on the batteries

One more question do you have 0 or +1 for sharpness now on .0100 and what is your experience of that choice so far?

Ok, great to know, I was watching an other tutorial on this settings today and that guy said +1 in High dynamic conditions and 0 if a little bit "flat" conditions. Also said try to get 0 in exposure comp since it creates more noise in D-log if you have to "lift" the exposure.

Thank you very much for your help Suren.

Happy flying and may the light be with you

Edit.

I think after my initial testing all that was needed to get back to my preferred settings was making a few adjustments to my sharpness from -1 to +1 and going from D-Log to Cinelike resolved the issue.

Thanks everyone.  So DJI watches this forum, I assume.  I was watching some youtube videos filtered for "within last 30 days", and it seems obvious that DJI's in-camera noise filtering isn't very good.  Hey DJI, how about you turn that off?  Or let us turn it off.  That would be the best option.

Thank you davidmartingraf, I will first try to go back to +1 and still keep the D-Log.

Happy flying

Okay, I did a test shot today with +1, -1, -1.  I'm shooting a 2.7k, 30fps, 100 ISO, D-log, 1/60th shutter speed.  Had to use a N32 filter because it was so bright out.  I like to use this subject area to test because the stuff below is so bright and then it transitions to more contrasty stuff like trees and what not.  The edgy sharpness is gone with the new settings, but to me the leaves in the trees still look clumpy.  I did color correction (D-Log is pretty flat), but nothing else.  The monitor I am using isn't calibrated, so the colors might be off.  YouTube seems to have added purple to the whole thing...
