    Bracketing Photos

    A bracketed exposure is when the camera takes 3 to 5 photos, each with different exposures. Then you use a program like Adobe Lightroom to merge them. Then the overexposed images fill in the shadows and the underexposed fills in the bright spots. It's the best way to make an HDR image.

    Phantom 3 Standart firmware upgrade failed(1.6.80). HELP please cry :'(

    I have a Standard too, and I had issues changing the firmware from the SD card. I called DJI tech support and they said the Standard has to be upgraded via the app DJI GO. I don't have the notes on how to do this, but you can find it on their help page, or call them. All is not lost! Hope...

    Photo Bracketing (I can't make it happen!)

    Hi. I've read the manual and MANY posts about people using photo bracketing on the P3. I know I'm supposed to hold down on the shutter button and the choices for HDR, multiple exposures and bracketing will appear. For me it doesn't. I can hold down for 10 seconds and it just takes a picture when...

    P3 Firmware P3S Current FW Version?

    Gutch, the reason he asks about your altitude is that those of us who did a firmware update not long ago are suffering from the ability to get more than about 200' from the controller. We are desperate for a firmware update to fix this. Glad you're not having problems!

    Bracketing Photos

    Hi. I've read posts and the manual, about how to take bracketed photos. Unless I have totally misunderstood the directions, I am supposed to hold down on the shutter button and a box will pop up giving me choices on exposure and bracketing, etc. this doesn't happen on my version. I can hold the...

    New firmware 1.7.8 (01.07.0082) P3S

    As an update: I used the firmware update method of putting the .bin file on the SD card and restarting the aircraft. This seemed to work and I got the text file saying it was a success. However, DJI tech support just told me that the P3 Standard must update firmware via the Go app, not by the SD...

    New firmware 1.7.8 (01.07.0082) P3S

    I started looking into this loss of distance issue yesterday and have followed the threads that obviously show the firmware issue is the problem. I had to fly today so I installed the 1.07.0084.bin update this morning. The result is that I had intermittent connectivity to the flight controller...

    New firmware 1.7.8 (01.07.0082) P3S

    Yeah, I did that a few times. The light on the controller turns green and I still see the picture, DJI GO says "RC Signal Lost."

    New firmware 1.7.8 (01.07.0082) P3S

    I installed the 1.07.0084 update this morning and now my controller won't talk to the aircraft. The wifi on the aircraft comes and goes and while I can connect to wifi I can see an image from the camera, none of the flight controls work at all now. Sigh. Maybe I'll try 0082...

    New firmware 1.7.8 (01.07.0082) P3S

    I saw another link yesterday that had a firmware version .0084. Would that one be LATER than this one?

    Is it ILLEGAL to fly within 15 miles of White House?

    msinger, thanks for that link. That is a great resource. But it shows a MUCH larger restricted area than even the DJI airspace restriction. It seems really murky where it is truly LEGAL to fly vs illegal.

    Is it ILLEGAL to fly within 15 miles of White House?

    I am sure this question was answered in a discussion earlier, but I searched and can't find it. So I apologize in advance for posting it again. For the first time, I might want/need to fly within the 15 mile envelope around the White House. AND I've never updated the firmware on my PV2+. So my...
