The most important spec affecting photo
0:02
quality is sensor size. And DJI has
0:05
finally managed to squeeze a true 1 in
0:09
SIMOS sensor on a model under 250 g.
0:13
Something unthinkable until a few years
0:15
ago.
0:18
Compared to the one over 1.3 in sensor
0:21
of the Mini4 Pro and Mini3 Pro, the new
0:24
one can capture richer detail and gather
0:27
more light, which is particularly useful
0:30
in low light and high dynamic range
0:32
situations.
0:35
Like in the Mini4 Pro, the field of view
0:37
is equivalent to 24 mm, while the
0:40
aperture is slightly smaller at f1.8
0:44
versus 1.7.
0:47
This should not cause issues as the
0:49
previous model already had sensational
0:52
light performance and the larger sensor
0:55
of the Mini 5 Pro should gather enough
0:57
light to compensate for the slightly
0:59
smaller aperture.
1:02
The photo resolution is announced at 50
1:05
effective MP, but this has to be taken
1:07
with a trackload of salt as it is mainly
1:11
a marketing gimmick.
1:13
Such high resolution is obtained by
1:15
splitting X pixel into four smaller ones
1:18
as it is the standard these days for
1:20
drones and mobile phones. I will analyze
1:23
the quality of this 50 megapixel mode
1:26
later on in this video.
1:28
The other major feature for photography
1:30
is the presence of a 48 mm metal mode
1:35
offering a two time zoom with higher
1:37
quality compared to the digital one of
1:40
previous models. I will do a specific
1:43
video about this tele mode so I will not
1:45
get into confusing technical
1:47
explanation.
1:48
To cut a long story short, and 1 in
1:51
sensor should be able to produce photos
1:53
at a real resolution of around 20
1:55
megapixels, as was the case with a
1:58
camera of the legendary DJI Air2S.
2:02
By cropping the image from a field of
2:04
view at 24 mm to 48, the resolution
2:08
should approximately be divided by two.
2:11
Therefore, with the Mini5 Pro, we should
2:13
obtain a two times zoom with a
2:15
resolution of around 12 megapixels, very
2:18
close to an optical zoom.
2:22
This metally mode should allow getting
2:25
closer to targets that cannot otherwise
2:27
be reached, increasing the parallax
2:30
effect when different layers are present
2:33
in an image, and obtaining better
2:35
separation between a target and the
2:37
background. Found.
