Hi

First post here for my mavic air!

I usually just do video with the drone but in one of my flight, I wanted to take some pictures. I noticed that the drone was only taking an image out of 10. When I clicked on the remotes photo button or the phone onscreen button, I noticed that the drones light were not flashing when pressing. I needed to press repeatedly to finally have one.

Drone was very close to me, few meters... never had this behaviour with videos. Am I missing something?

Thanks!!

Not sure if this card is going to be fast enough, when you pressed shutter/photo button did the button turn grey and a circle moving around it. If so then this usually is a sign that card is to slow.

No, it’s like I was not pressing on anything. No feedback on phone, no click sound from remote and no drone flash

I give it another go this week-end

Ok so it’s probably not card, maybe dji Natalia suggestion might help.
Good luck....

I may be wrong on this (it's been awhile since I've tried), but are you trying to take a photo while you're also recording video? If my old brain remembers correctly, I think you have to stop video recording to take a photo.

If you are in video mode click photo button just switch to photo mode. The photo button will work when after switch to photo mode.
