just got the drone i am useing auto settings

Check the camera settings as it doesn’t looks right.

Try set camera to auto and see any improvement.

I'm not sure exactly which Mavic drone you are using. But the Mavic Pro has exposure compensation. This "adjusts" the automatic exposure by a fixed amount to allow you to compensate for things that confuse the automatic exposure. By default the right wheel on the remote controls this so you might have moved that and adjusted it without realising.

On your remote or app look for "EV" (Exposure-compensation Value) and a number.
0 = no adjustment
+ve = more light, so brighter / over exposed (like in the video)
-ve = less light, so darker / under exposed

If this isn't "0" then turn the right wheel to adjust and hopefully that will fix your problem.
If you aren't using a Mavic Pro then you might need to check the manual to work out how to adjust it. (I'm not sure if the controls are exactly the same.)

If you've confirmed it is set to auto and EV=0 then something weird is going on. Definitely worth updating this post in case anyone else has any ideas. You might also want to contact support.


For info...
In the simple case automatic exposure measures the average brightness of the whole picture and adjusts the exposure so this is exactly mid way between white and black. The infamous 18% grey. (In practise companies often add intelligence so it isn't so simple. But that's the easiest way to thing about it when things aren't automatically right.)
If you are photographing something that is mostly white then it can darken this to grey resulting in underexposure. And the opposite if it's something black. In drone photography the most common issue is that amount of bright sky in the picture affects the exposure. More sky tends to darken the picture, less lightens it.

thank you for your input , I too will take your advice.

Your settings have gotten way off.  Try resetting them.  If it looks way to bright on your mobile device, then good chance your video will be the same.  Lastly, where are you getting your video from?  Is this off of your mobile device or the SIM card in the craft?  I always use the SIM card.

You need to lower down the exposure and play around with the settings a little bit. Check the exposure mode, You can choose between AUTO and M(manual) mode. It’s very easy to get overexposed or underexposed images when not in Auto mode. First, switch to the manual mode, then change the ISO, lower ISO might suit your set-up.
