Hi.
First off, I don't have an expectation that the Phantom 3 4K camera will perform like a DSLR. I do expect it to perform as well as or better than a lower resolution jpg cell phone photo when you consider the sensor size, lens, etc.
On the Phantom, I took a photo with the following settings: ISO 100 (the minimum), RAW, color balanced for sunny day. I exposed the image using the histogram to assure proper exposure for the ISO setting. Additionally, I took photos from approximately the same position, time of day, and lighting conditions with my iPhone 6.
First off, the Phantom photo lacks details and is quite noisy, including color noise. There is a lot of chromatic aberration which I can pull out in Photoshop. The photo lacks detail. The iPhone beats it hands down.
I'd love to post of the DNG file and corresponding iPhone jpg file. Can't seem to get it to upload.
Am I configured improperly and, if so, what changes do I need to make? Is there something wrong with the camera?
I'd like to get the most out of the camera and don't feel like I am so far.
Any guidance is appreciated.
