Already done and reported by others in RC Groups. Wondering if DJI plans on fixing this...

I think it would be a physical fix so probably not.

I've decided to roll the dice kept the Pro in my cart since I really want to fly at night and with the zoom is almost impossible. I just hope they will sharpen the image in the future. Have you tried setting your sharpness in +1?

Yeah, Ive got it set currently at +1,0,0.

Dont get me wrong its not bad, its just not as sharp as the zoom.

Not what I expected after all the hype.

Definitely overpriced and under delivered.... less features and shooting modes than the original Mavic Pro at the price of  the current P4P.  Where is the value DJI?

Yes, a good point was alluded to early.

A typical lens does not perform well at the extremes of f2.8 or f11.

Generally speaking, most optics have a 'sweet' spot between F4-f5.6.

There you'll usually find the best optical performance.

Therefore, utilize ND filters to dial in the best f-stop and shutter speed.

I look forward to DJI responding to this thread. I notice that it was 10 days ago that they said they would response with an answer. After watching two videos on the quality of the image, I’m rather concerned about the value for money. If I knew that this was going to be an issue, I would’ve looked at a different drone, or delay my purchase for a newer model.

Either way, I look forward to DJI’s response.

omparisons matter with regards to the cost, as well: it's detectably more costly. What's more, even with unrivaled 10-bit HDR video, a flexible gap, and an implicit Hyperlapse mode, the charming force behind the Mavic 2 Pro doesn't promise it will sit at the highest point of our best automatons 2018 rundown. It is quite difficult; DJI has DJI to fault.

The new DJI  Mavic 2 Zoom is somewhat less expensive and highlights a 2x optical zoom focal point – it can move from 24mm to a 48mm of every 4K (for a 2x zoom), and reproduce 96mm in Full HD (4x the zoom). It's altogether finished with a motion on your cell phone that sits inside the controller clamshell. The drawback? It utilizes a littler 1/2.3-inch Alactel camera sensor.

DJI simply made your life more troublesome by presenting two convincing automaton decisions in case you're hoping to spend significant money on a purchaser ramble. Every other person with a littler spending plan should look no more distant than the still-astounding DJI Mavic Air, our pick for first-time fliers.

Good to see but...... using FOV and the touted 1" sensor is horrendous! Such a shame with all of the potential. I really do hope that DJI address this and hopefully come up with a fix. I bought the MP2 on the back of the 1" sensor.

This video by itself is telling nothing as you are not comparing it to anything else with exactly same testing parameters adjusted for lens, there are no benchmarks to make any sort of conclusion.

There are a lot of same tests on youtube what tells us that FOV blurry. No need to do any other tests. You can see a difference in real life shoots too!

The point is getting the same results as the video in first post and show how good it is in hq that he left out!!!! Neither him or i have the tools to calibrate for a test like this. But it proves the superior quality in hq

Yeah but you cannot see the smallest numbers in the center at 8000% magnification!

hahaha great video man, people should understand how to shoot and what the M2P really offers before jumping on the drama wagon...

One thing sharpness of image and other thing resolution. Isn't it?

+1 on that (1'' sensor bad performance).   Im already bit irritated on the company, that is playing world police with their NFZ, that has nothing to do with "prevent breaking laws", due in some countries it IS permit to fly in some of DJI's NFZ. Put the resource on the drone so it works properly, as we have payed lot of money for it, Not on some NFZ. Put resource on DJI4go so apk dont have compability problems (android), not on some NFZ. Put resource on assitant2 so it works with win8.1, Not on some NFZ. You can have NFZ:s IF they are correct for each country (by law, not what DJI think is not OK to fly).
Waiting for an aswer from DJI, why new 1'' sensor performes so much worse, than P4.
Is DJI bending the truth?

That is exactly what I am saying. This person posted a video of him filming the chart without any sort of comparison and trying to tell how sharp the image is.

There is no need for sophisticated calibration tools. This test is pretty simple if you understand what it is trying to achieve. Assuming you have exact same conditions for all the devices tested and that you adjust for focal distance (I must say focusing distance) and FOV, you can easily make conclusions based on bench-marking.  

There is no doubt that HQ mode provides more details as it is closer to 1:1 sensor read-out. It also introduces more noise, decreases low light capability and of course cuts significantly the FOV for that matter.

If you are to compare FOV to HQ mode, you will have to adjust the distance of your drone from your testing chart to reach exactly same composition in a frame in both modes.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out and bringing this up. I will forward this concern to our developer for use to have the feedback and answer about this, Once I have the answer will get back here, Thanks.

is there any word about the sensor as yet, i will be buying one for photography in the next few weeks and i don't want to buy it when i can bet the phantom instead, my problem is that the phantom is to big for me that's why i wanted the mavic pro 2, so looking forward on getting a reply soon.
Thanks

The lens has its own flaws, but the issue here has nothing to see with the lens ...

Maybe they should have called it the Mavic 2 Photo. There seems to be lots of confusion as what to expect from this camera/sensor. 4K video only needs 8.3 Mp, so your 20 Mp is going to need some downsizing to fit that format, even the old 12Mp needs a bit. The official response from DJI says they use something called " raw subsampling to downscale the raw 5.5k data to 4K" (20Mp is essentially a 5.5 K sensor), they don't use line skipping or binning.

It's basically a binning + Low pass filter

I find it very hard to believe that they supposedly spent 2 years developing this camera, and then just before the release, they discovered a heat problem. If they are  protecting Phantom 2 sales, well , now with the recent price increase, the Phantom is cheaper, so maybe they will "unlock" the camera to full resolution.

They still selling Phantom 2's ?

This guy lost me the moment he showed the resolution chart for the M2P 4K FOV mode, that wasn’t the result of pixel binning or line skipping, that was a focusing issue!

I’ve already seen other videos where the M2P seems to have issues with it’s auto focus like its predecessor, and many people have shown, with video evidence, that setting the focus manually to the infinity point fixes it, and image clarity is restored.

Wow! DJI advertised the Pro with the 1 inch sensor. That is the reason I bought it. And now it is not even utilizing it fully?! I feel cheated and certainly betrayed. They are basically llying to the consumer and are false advertising it. That is why the drone introduction was probably delayed. And now they just released it in hope no one would find out. I really want to return my drone now....

I'm holding out for a firmware upgrade. They possibly rushed it out and since there's a bunch of features missing at the moment anyway, as well as a few bugs I've picked up in my general usage which just shouldn't have made it through to release. So, I'm hoping they just ran out of time, pushed workable settings out and then will push out the finalised firmware with the sensor being used properly and also the software bugs fixed.

I hope!

There is detailed review involve Mavic 1, P4 and Mavic 2 comparison in term of photo, video etc. The reviewer also concluded that under FOV mode, Mavic 2 video quality is not as good as P4. However, this review was done in Chinese. w w w.wrjfpv.com/assessment It is very lengthy review and I have no time to translate it to English. Please use Google.

Guys, I think you are peeping too much.
I found the quality is really decent, just stop comparing it with 1000% zoomed in.
And also look at beautiful night shots!
Check "Miami by Drone in 4K - DJI Mavic 2 Pro" it is amazing and way ahead of Mavic Air or MP1

Here is a link Image comparison to some still image comparisons that may give an idea as to the correction that the MP2 is doing. I am not surprised as to all of the questions that have been asked of the NEW HASSELBLAD camera. The distortion is off the charts with a massive crop.
