The Mavic Mini has a 12mp Camera so it takes really good photos anyway but if your wanting to Take near Professional Quality Photos here is an easy but effective way to do it .
This photo was taken and Enhanced with editor. It looks good enough but places like the top right are over exposed
This is the Same Photo " so to speak " but instead of Enhancements it is a HDR photo Merged together .
Not only are the colors bright vibrant and sharp but the over exposed places are gone .
So if you don't know how to do this , it isn't too hard and make your photos look impressive . I hope this will tell everyone that would like to try this how.
1. in DJI Fly after taking your 1st photo , hold your finger on the darkest part of the screen and Auto Focus AF will adjust to the dark ,then take a photo . Next touch and hold a lighter section part AF will adjust , take a 3rd photo . do it quickly as possible so the 3 photos will line up. Then more photos with different lighting the better but I found 3 works best for me and saves time
.
Normal
Under-exposed
Over Exposed
Ok now we have our 3 photos . you will need a photo editor to merge them now . I use Lightroom and I have used Microsoft Photos before but it takes more steps .
In LightRoom add your 3 photos ,left click the 1st one while holding shift , slide your mouse to the 3rd one and left click . Now right click to bring up the menu , scroll up to merge and choose HDR in the sub-menu . and like magic you will have a perfectly exposed , professional looking photo .
If you like this or found it helpful drop a dollar in the Hat . Thanks DJI Forum.
