In the app, click on menu above the camera controls and in Image Size, select 4:3Can anyone give me advice on what settings I need in order to get the highest picture (snapshot) resolution?
No ... video and stills settings are independentOk thanks. Does the picture (snapshot) quality get effected by the video quality you're shooting? ie. Should I be in 4K?
That's great advice and examples. I've just started experimenting with RAW images so I'm excited to try this. Do RAW images actually capture more detail because they're uncompressed? Or do they just capture "everything" in terms of light which allows you to manipulate the lighting better in software?If you have the software to handle them, shoot raw or raw+jpeg. Raw files loose no quality when editing and resaving them like jpegs do.
Also, if you are shooting raw, turn the sharpness to -2, contrast to -3 and saturation to -2. Shoot in D-LOG. That will give what I think is the best quality out of the bird. The image won't look impressive straight out but you can adjust it to your liking in Lighrroom, Bridge, PS or whatever else you got that handles raw images. These settings minimize both black and white clipping.
And don't worry about the sharpness going negative. You are NOT REMOVING sharpness, you are telling the processor in the bird NOT to add so **** much (-3 is actually no sharpening). Sharpening, ones added, can't be easily taken away. All the apps I mentioned above have FAR better sharpening algorythms than the Phantom does.

When you work in RAW why setting sharpness to -2 or -3? The sharpness adjustments only apply to the jpeg file and not the RAW. The RAW file is as is from the sensor. I read about people using the D-Log setting for color.....again in RAW it should not make a difference, for jpegs I prefer no specific setting for color.If you have the software to handle them, shoot raw or raw+jpeg. Raw files loose no quality when editing and resaving them like jpegs do.
