Anyone have an idea on what's goin on with my camera and what I should do abt it? I keep it in the case at all times when it's not in the air and I've never crashed it. My camera was workin just fine the last time I used it.

I'll tell you a funny thing that happened to me as long as you don't laugh! I got a new P3 Pro, and since I had a Standard before, I though I knew how to set it up. So the first few videos were okay, but just not that great. They just weren't sharp like I expected. After about a week, I discovered that I had not removed the clear plastic shield on the lens. I didn't even notice it for a week. But it gets even better. So now the images are really nice and sharp, but the videos are a little shaky. I blamed it on the wind. I continued to fly the Pro for nearly a month. Not happy about the shaking, but figured a Firmware update would eventually fix that. Then a few days ago, as I was attempting to put the plastic Camera lock back on, I noticed a little red sticker on the back side of the Gimbal. It had small printing, so I put my reading up close glasses on and took a closer look. Are you ready for this??? The printing said "Remove Before flight"! The Gimbal was locked in place in the Pan direction by a small rubber block. I didn't even know it was there. I was, and still am, so embarrassed. I carefully removed the **** thing, and no more shaky...! I had been flying it that way for nearly a month.

Do you have other examples? Does this happen only when shooting into the sun? Did you use AUTO for settings? If not, have you tried AUTO? Are you using any filters?
 
$5 says it was a corrupt file from an improper shutdown that was removed and copied before the craft was powered back up and allowed to auto-recover it.

Format the card and then let's talk. :)
