Camera Settings have changed and the Air 2 & Air 2S has some amazing functions in manual Pro Camera Mode! I go through the new Pro Camera Mode including how to adjust the White Balance, Shutter Speed and ISO, going through what I think are the best settings for these manual adjustments to get great sunset or sunrise cinematic shots.

Ian, Can you combine exposure bracketing and panoramic mode? so we can get HDR pano?

[@GregHunt55]

Please, I.S.O. Is a word 'Iso' not letters or abbreviation. Still one of the three top drone channels. Thanks

[@IaninLondon]

I have always pronounced it I S O, not eye-so, but you're right of course, it's eye-so. But old habits die hard..... :) This is interesting: The acronym ISO stands for “International Organization for Standardization”. However, camera ISO does not directly refer to the organization that creates various technology and product standards. Ever since two film standards called ASA and DIN were combined into ISO standards in 1974 (later revised for both film and digital photography), they were referred to as one word “ISO” from that point on. Although ISO initially defined only film sensitivity, it was later adopted by digital camera manufacturers with the purpose of maintaining similar brightness levels as film.

[@gatorjack2011]

Thanks for you videos - very informative. I have had some problems with my SD card. It has happened only twice but it can be very alarming. I will be filming for about 1 hour taking photos and videos. When I get home and try to look at them on my PC it will tell me that there are no images on the SD card and I have to format it to use it.! I can see the images on my cell phone since I cache to it but they are lower resolution. Any suggestions on how to prevent this problem? Thanks, Jack

[@IaninLondon]

It sounds to me like your SD card is not up to speed, so the drone will automatically switch to its internal memory. Plug your drone into a computer and turn the drone on and you should see all of your images as a standalone USB drive 👍🏻

[@Stunshot7]

Fantastic Video Ian as always, and very informative, I just bought my dji air 2s a few days ago, so I'm looking forward to more of your videos, one question, have you tested out the pano feature in the 2s yet?

Thanks for another great video. I have a question about the Air 2S that I wondered if you could help me with. I recently upgraded from the Mavic Air 2 to the A2S, and on my first flight I noticed that there is no HDR option in video settings. Because I almost always film during golden hour, HDR is something that I used quite often. I didn't realize that they had taken this away, and was curious if you knew what the reasoning for this was.

[@IaninLondon]

No, I don't know why they dropped it, but it's a real shame....

Hi can you set a gps for a single photo than take that photo from the same spot time and time again? Thanks Steve

[@25VanLife]

I also use filmora is that good enough of photoshop for raw files? Asking as I seen the hashtag

[@peterspeight5384]

Great tutorial as always - thanks. Maybe you can help with one topic I am struggling with, having come from my Spark and the Go 4 app. That is tapping the screen for spot metering and spot focussing etc. In auto focus mode you can tap the screen so it will focus on that subject. How do you reset that focus? Sometimes I have tapped on the screen doing something else and have changed the focus unintentionally and got blurry photos or videos. Is there an easy way to reset the focus? (I realise there is the manual focus slider for other effects, but I just want to go back to the default auto focus and be able to confirm I've done it). Similarly with exposure. I am used to tapping on the Spark screen to set exposure lock. With the Air 2S you tap the screen and get a yellow square (or yellow circle if in photo mode!). You then have to use the slider to adjust the exposure. Then press and hold to lock. You can set the customer button to exposure lock /unlock but it doesn't confirm you which state you are in. Having made an adjustment is there a simple way to reset the exposure - without having to use the icon slider again, or the EV slider at the bottom right? Tapping the screen can also enable gimbal movement, or select the focustrack subject. Sometimes I try one and get the other! Do you have some guidance on how to manage all these different tapping modes? It would be greatly appreciated, I am sure!

[@IaninLondon]

I don't have the spark, but given the fixed aperture, I would imagine the focal length is pretty similar and the tap is more about exposure and light metering. One important point is to not start recording when on the ground, as it will focus on the ground close to the camera and then everything will be out of focus when you take off.

When you go into pro mode and change the iso to 100, will it stay there when you switch back to auto?
