So yesterday I went out flying with my drone and after downloading the pictures I noticed almost all of them were just bright and double-layered except for 3 of them taken at the end of the flight they were only double-layered. So I decided to power it on and take some more pics right in front of my door just to be sure I didn't accidentaly messed up camera settings in mid-flight. To my surprise those pictures were also messed up. Took the bird to my local dealer and showed them my problem and they replaced my P3S with a new P3S. Is the camera buggy or is there something else I should know before taking pictures ?

Examples:

Hello txpander,

I looks like your camera was broken. Good that the dealer swapped it.
I have less good experiences with my (dutch) dealer.

if you read carefully the forum in the help section you will see how many have a problem with the gimball or with the room, if this is done under warranty and will be replaced is a miracle, but prepared the problem could recur, a currency board can just change brand

I got mine from Foka and I'm very happy with the customer service. The store was closed since I was 5 minutes late, but after some waving they welcomed me inside and within 10 minutes I got my drone replaced. Now I have to test the new drone within 8 days and if there is something wrong with it they will replace it again. Still haven't tested the replaced version, battery and RC are charging. But I really want to know what caused the strange camera behavior since all pictures were taken with default settings and I didn't play with the ISO wheel on right front.

Camera settings?  Your top one is over exposed.  Something sure isn't right.  Try the replacement at home before you fly and see what it does.

No offense to all the pro and semi-pro photographers out there,  But I think those shots look cool as hell.  Of course,  I grew up in the 60's so many of my memories feature double vision.
