Gimble Adjust mid Flight Disconnect

[Homeless]

So an odd one here and probably down to my inexperience is only my 4th flight less than 30 mins fly time in total.

So i was circling an old mill about 650 metre's away when i tried to adjust the gamble. I thought i would let it auto adjust. I hit auto adjust and a message saying something like rotors need to be powered down OK or Cancel. Out of instinct i hit OK.

Next thing everything disconnects and my heart sinks thinking its just dropped. I toggle return to home on the remote and it starts to beep. Still no picture so i wait. I eventually hear it coming and it lands right next to me. Lucky escape.

Funny thing is i could not reconnect to the bird until i had powered it down both the controller and the bird and disconnected and reconnected the wifi.

My question what just happened is there a bug within the software should i not be auto calibrating during flight ( i guess not ) Just found it odd i could not reconnect until i power cycled. Went flying straight afterwards no issues just didn't auto calibrate.

Any thoughts anyway I can read the flight log. Also how would I do it as when it got disconnected the app stop plotting its position. Do I need to plug into the bird.

calibrating the gimbal has to be done on a perfectly level surface

Yeah I'm guessing mid air causes issues lol

I'm surprised it allowed the calibration mid-flight.
Do IMU and gimbal calibration on perfectly level surface.
