I got my phantom 3 pro a few days ago. i updated all the firmware and everything has been fine. The last time i successefully flew it my flight ended in a light crash. Today I fired up the phantom got it in the sky everything was working fine, except when i went to take a picture the screen on my phone turns grey for a few seconds. When it comes back from the grey screen everything seems fine but no picture is taken. When I go into video mode the screen on my phone just turns black until I go back to picture mode. The sd card is recognized by the phantom and the pictures on it already still work fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

May I suggest you try testing this out on a bench, you don't have to fly to shoot photos or video. The usually response to this sort of problem is to check the plugs on the ribbon cables going into the gimbal unit are seated properly. And you may find the feed back to the RC unit is the issue, see if the photos or video are actually being recorded on the SD card.

Hi , Mickeylesh
Please confirm that the problem is you can't take pictures and videos or you just can't find them in your phone . Please check if there's picture or video in your SD card .

Hi , Mickey
Please contact your dealer or repair center . The crash could have damaged the cables on gimbal or the camera .

I am suddenly having the same issue. Does anyone know why yet? Tried to downgrade and the upgrade my firmware again, nothing. When I take a photo, the screen goes blank and the a swirl goes around the shutter button on the screen for a few seconds and then it shows a DJI logo before coming back to show me the live view.

Same issue.  See thread
http://forum.dji.com/thread-61606-1-1.html

Still looking for an answer.  Last straw is sending it in to DJI and paying for repairs.

I'm having the same issue as well. Has anybody figured this out yet? Does it have to be sent in and if so what was the problem?
