Hi,
I remember seen similar threads on forum, but cannot find them anymore.
I noticed my MA processing some scenes making background in grey tones without color information present in case of cloudy weather.
Is this "known" issue to dji? will this be adressed in future firmware updates or I bought a "toy" that cannot produce decent image quality?

Not sure what area's you are referring too, but these look ok.
Especially since the low quality of the light you are having there.
Very little contrast in these area's.

Please share a full resolution file and state where the problem is. (if you can, use Flickr for a full res upload)
Also share the settings you are using (color profile etc.)

They look ok to me too. The grey areas i can see are called clouds...... that's all I can see!

I posted my colour issue before. https://forum.dji.com/thread-149735-1-1.html

But your photo looks ok to me. The ridge in background looks gray is natural. MA camera colour lost is for whole picture. Not just an item in the photo.

Ok, if you say it's ok, so be it.

Probably should play with post-processing more.

Thanks for feedback, as a bonus for you, here's a video those screenshots are taken from:

photo's looks good and cool vid.

Go to style and turn your contrast to +3

Fabulous video, well done indeed.

I really like these photos. You could shoot the same scene in full light and compare. It's hard to tell what kind of light you're dealing with in these pictures.

That's a bad idea since you will lose details. It's better to add that in post rather than before.
In fact you might even want to lower your contrast to get more details and add more contrast later on.

The sensor in MA does not handle well low light photos. If you take pics in RAW format, then you'll be required to post process the pictures and add more saturation, for example.

I usually have to postprocess the pictures, but yours look ok for the conditions.

I really enjoyed your video. Well edited footage of short scenes in interesting countryside. Well done.

I was going to say the same. Make the drone lose detail by default is not a good idea.

You can not add color to something that is grey to begin with? seriously

This is incorrect,

I am sorry, But you are wrong. You cant bring in post that does not exist in the photo?

Alright then all of the youtube videos are wrong, like literally every detailed explanation, and you are correct. :O

No seriously, your answer seems ignorant. When you lower the contrast you gain more details in the shadows. You can add contrast later on in post.
That's how it is.

From what I see, Saviour is talking about contrast and its effect on detail preservation, you are mixing it with color information that you get from the sensor itself.

He did not say you will get colors back when you reduce contrast (though in theory you get them back in some dark areas as a side-effect of reducing contrast ; black will become gray-ish with some detail information etc.).

As far as I see, he just replied to your advice, where you told the OP to increase contrast to +3 which was pointless as it just removes fine details from the picture with (most of the time) no way of getting them back in post, therefore saviours advice was correct here.

It was not. Contrast does not take away detail. Have you tried it? I would look at your pictures but you do not have any?

You are ridiculous. Contrast can increase color saturation. Turn the lengthen the exposure? Then you will have more light entering the sensor. Man you dont even have pictures? who would take you seriously?

The youtube vides are not wrong you are. We are talking about stills not video
