We access master shot in the right part
0:02
of the photo video menu. This mode can
0:04
only be used when the drone is flying.
0:07
The exposure can be set to auto or
0:09
manual via the icon on the bottom right
0:11
of the screen.
0:14
Beginner will start by using auto
0:16
exposure but in this mode when the
0:18
luminosity changes the software will
0:20
compensate creating noticeable shift in
0:23
the footage brightness. A clear sign of
0:26
an amateur job.
0:29
I suggest using manual exposure to
0:31
better control the luminosity and then
0:33
adjusting the shadows while editing.
0:38
Difference luminosity will still be too
0:40
strong when the sky enters the frame. So
0:42
I suggest carefully planning the shoots.
0:46
Much better results are obtained by
0:48
shooting around sunrise or sunset or
0:51
with the sun covered by cloud as the
0:54
difference in luminosity are lower and
0:56
the shadows much softer. This is why it
0:59
is often said that the middle of the
1:01
sunny day is the time where
1:03
videographers sleep.
1:06
For the same reason, it is generally
1:08
preferable to have the sun behind the
1:10
camera.
1:12
The resolution can be set to 4K or 1080p
1:15
with frame rates of 30 and 60 frames per
1:18
second. Therefore, some slow motion can
1:21
be applied. This is an upgrade compared
1:24
to the Mini3 Pro which only offers 30
1:27
frames per second. The 4K resolution
1:30
applies only to the footage recorded
1:32
during the shoots while the
1:34
autogenerated short movies have a
1:36
resolution of 1080p.
1:39
All the color profiles can be used not
1:41
only normal but also DLOG M and HLG
1:45
while in the Flip only normal and log M
1:48
are available.
1:51
The Mavic 4 Pro has a fourth mode, DLOG.
1:57
This is another upgrade compared to
1:58
previous models, and it makes it easier
2:01
to integrate the footage into the color
2:03
scheme of a specific project.
2:08
During the shots, the aircraft will
2:10
perform all sort of movements. So, it is
2:12
important to set the obstacle avoidance
2:14
system to break or bypass to prevent
2:18
collisions.
2:20
The Flip is the only model analyzed here
2:23
without omnidirectional obstacle
2:25
sensors. When using this drone, extra
2:28
care is needed planning the shot to stay
2:31
far from surrounding obstacles.
