Pano photo issues.

[Jonl78]

Hi guys.

I have had issues where the spark will not complete a pano photo sequence, it used to in all 3 pano modes and comes up a "camera malfunction" error. I will try to do it again tomorrow but I have a feeling it may be a software issue. I would appreciate any thoughts or comments in advance.

If you are using a lens filter, it may be the problem.

If not, try rebooting the software.

Thanks mate for the reply, I am not using any lens filters, to be honest I didnt know they were available, when I get off the beers tomorrow ill try to update everything! apart from that I am really enjoying the spark, as a CNC technician I really appreciate how many sensors they pack in there for the price, only got about 7 hours on the little fella.

Also try taking regular photos. See if those save successfully.
Have a beer for me too, mate..

Ok, so it turns out i was using a dodgy SD card that kept getting corrupted, I threw out the crappy Kogan 32g one and put a good quality sandisk in there and everything is working like a charm. Being a tightarse has its penalties at times! My first successful pano below.

And your first Pano rocks! Good deal. You can skimp on lunch but not your drone.

thanks Manny, I am just starting to explore what it can do and I am coming to a realisation that I have bought a fairly good flying digital camera. Though I am not denying that sports mode flying is the best fun I have had for awhile

So glad Jon, yeah not bad for a “selfie drone” huh.
Fly safe, but have fun with this lil Gremlin

Pano's are my favorite, I take the sphere but them cut away what I don't need, the 46 photos gives awesome pics. Still working on editing.

Ditto!
I particularly like the horizontal Pano, since my plan is to combine them with the videos I shoot, and don’t like the 4x3 format when both my TV and Spark footage are in the 16x9 aspect ratio. I find it a total distraction when watching widescreen and a 4x3 pic comes up. It could be just me though. Does anyone ever print pics anymore? Lol, if I do I would be happier to crop the pano, instead of the other way around.

I too have had trouble getting a full sequence of shots from the pano modes. I have a SanDisk Ultra C10 Micro SD HC1 card (16gb), so should be sufficient to record the photos.
Any tips for the pano modes? Particularly is sphere mode, I wonder if the hight that the spark is hovering at would impact the stiching process, as field of view of each shot would be smaller at lower altitudes, and larger at higher altitutes
