DJI Air 3, High Dynamic Range and night footage

The harder test for any camera is shots in the direction of the sun

Both lenses handle the extreme dynamic range very well, without any loss of detail and

saturation near the sun and no chromatic aberrations

When the sun is on the frame, the amount of information in the shadow is decent but I

I was expecting a bit more from the log. In these situations, the performance of the 10-bit mode is not that different from the

one on normal mode. An area where the R3 really shines, forgiving the pun, is low light footage

For night footage, the Air 3 can compete with the mighty Mavic 3

And this is a great accomplishment, partly due to the extreme aperture of the main lens

There is also a night mode with auto exposure. In the first iteration of this mode in the Mavic 3, I found it disappointing, with a fake

plasticky look. In the Air 3, the night mode has improved. But I still largely prefer to use manual exposure for better shadows and more detail

This way I can control the individual exposure values, which is crucial
