I have a Phantom 3 Advance, latest firmware on both drone and controller. The camera seems to be off center to the right (on idle mode) as shown in the photo below.
a. Lines 1 & 2 gap is very visible to show it off to the right rather than center.
b. Line 3 also showing the same behaviour.

FYI:
1. When i took the photo, the drone has been powered ON and the drone has completed the gimbal initialization and currently in IDLE mode (LED light reflection can be seen)
2. I have done IMU and Gimbal calibration combo (in a clear and flat surface away from magnets/etc) but still the same result.
3. Gimbal/Camera level is normal/flat (not tilted).

Any idea how to fix this issue?

Mine does it also. I just have to leave to drone to idle for 5 minutes and the gimball will line it up.

Welcome trà we're part of a growing number of people with the same problem, I feel dji an estimate of 700 Euros for changing the motherboard and replacing gimball

mine does this too. dont know if its left or right because you can be looking at it from different perspecitves. when i fly forward i can only see one of the two props and landing gear in the video rather than both. anyone else?

Did you calibrate the RC also ? If not, do a full IMU & Gimbal & RC Calibration and see what happens.
Check out this guy, he is doing a gimbal calibration In the air.

I have the same issue with mine after powering on, but after 4-5 minutes the gimbal levels up normally. If it isn't raining tomorrow I'll try "in the air" calibration and post here what the results are.

I've had this problem for a long time.  It is irritating since it is hard to fly straight forward as seen in the camera.  Mine is to the left about the same direction yours is to the right.  It is NOT a slight amount.  It's been that way since new, but I think I am on the right track to get it licked by aligning it mechanically on the shaft.  I've seen LOTS of other people with the same problem.  Just about every person that complains about seeing their props in the picture is seeing the left front prop.  Check it out.  I've never seen the right one in a picture.  I haven't flown enough lately to continue on the fix, so will just have to do it as I can.  Current temperatures have been around 20F for a week.

by the way, this is not a tilted gimbal/camera issue. The gimbal/camera is horizontally level/flat/normal, but it is slightly off to the right facing the right landing stand rather than straight directly forward (fyi, this is powered ON and finshed the gimbal calibration when the photo was taken). I think some users are reporting different issue (tilted camera/gimbal) than what i have.

HERE IS MY PROBLEM: The issue of the camera is YAW (to right) rather than ROLL (to the right)

Any fix to this problem? I've coming across this but this is more to fix the horizontal tilt
