I new with my Mavic Air and I hope you can understand.

Today is 50% sunny 50% cloudy. So, I went to my drone, near a small forest.

There were certain parts like a zebra on the screen, why it happens?

So, I recorded a video and it's so bright.

Could you help me with the best configuration for these scenarios, please!

Wrong Settings!

Hi, we're sorry for the inconvenience. You may try to turn off the overexposure in the camera setting to see if there will be changes. You may refer to the screenshot below. Please keep us posted on the latest progress.

For me because I don't know much about camera settings I only change from auto to sunny or cloudy. If it's sunny or partly sunny I use sunny. I only use cloudy if it's complete cloud cover. Or I leave it on auto. This is just what I do. When I mess with all the other settings and don't like it I just reset the camera to factory and start over.

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply. This particular setting should get rid of the zebra lines on your live feed in the application. However, you could still reset the camera settings of your DJI Go 4 app to set it back to the default then set it again to your preferred settings.

No, you have to adjust the camera settings (shutter speed, iso, aperture) to get an EV of 0 (which means the picture is exposed correctly and not under or overexposed) or - if you  are completely new what I think you are to cameras, else you wouldn't ask - put the camera settings to auto and read some tutorials in the internet what shutter speed and ISO do.

if u don't use histogram that zebra is Your best friend. show zones on video which are overexposured (basicly only white color there) so even in post,  there is no chance to get any detail.
fight it changing shutter values, or ND filters

You're right, I'm new in all these kind of staff of drone including settings camera. So, I'll take your advice meanwhile I learn about it.

Thank you

kremi, I think ND Filters are necessaries to do better videos. So, I'm going to by. Any recommendations?

polarpro are good ones, but soooo expensive
go check some other options - I would not go for cheapest ebay/china (10-15$) but 100$ for a set is too much IMO
and check if they fit into gimbal protector, as screw/unscrew them everytime would be annoying

Don't bother with ND filters yet. Watch tutorials about shutter speeds, iso etc. before you think about ND filters else it gets too complicated. Get to know the basics first.

If you understood all of that, Skyreat ND filters are extremely good for their price.
