      so you use manual focus? and set focus on far away object ?

    • @EdRickerVlogs
      @EdRickerVlogs  5 лет назад +2

      No, tap-to-focus is still Autofocus, so I tap on the subject or object and that will automatically focus on the object. Manual Focus is different and actually brings up a focus slider in the app where you drag the slider back and forth to truly manually set focus. I find manual focus very hard to get right from such a small screen since you're using your own eyeball to determine if you're in focus or not, rather than just tapping on the screen and allowing the Autofocus to accurately snap onto the object.

      Hey man, I personally love my drones for areal photography. Would you say this model would be ideal for its super resolution capabilities? or would it be better going for the pro?

      @fredbaird358 5 лет назад

      I bought the Mavic 2 Zoom recently due to the amount of added features over my original Mavic.
      I would love to see a beginner's guide to some of the settings.

      @bbull7652 5 лет назад

      Thank you for going over the optical zoom option under 1080... I was thinking DJI scammed us with their promo video where they zoomed in on the giraffe...but now I see it’s available with the correct settings!

    Great video man, having the original Mavic Pro for over 2 years without any issue, I was gonna jump on the Mavic 2 Pro because the 1” sensor and “Hasselblad” camera, but after seeing some reviews, unveiling the real true about the Mavic 2 Pro cropping the sensor to avoid overheating problems I decided to check the Mavic 2 Zoom that will get me the Super High Res photo and the optical Zoom! That’s enough for me! Subbed to your channel buddy!!

    Awesome observations there on the easy access to SD and the notch for the phone button. That charging function can sure come in handy! Good video about the little things, I really like the MP RC but there was some things that could be better. Glad DJI adressed that! Thanks for the video, thumbs up from Sweden

  • @paulwills7902
    @paulwills7902 3 года назад

    Some great information thanks again and thanks also for not shouting. My original purchase option was the Drone with the haselblad camera but have since cancelled in favour of the zoom. I looked at so many videos and for me the zoom was eventually the better option plus trying to justify the extra expense was becoming much more difficult. Love your videos you speak so clearly and very informative. Way to many reviewers start with good intentions and a defined subject but within a couple of minutes go off in a different direction, it just becomes messy and confusing. You manage to encompass your subject without losing focus of the subject. Brilliant and thank you from London UK

    The easy access memory card slot and better access to home button are a nice touch. Thanks for pointing these things that most reviewers skip over. That APAS system is amazing, the way it moved around objects without stopping. Is the Hyper-lapse intelligent mode only on the Zoom model or the the Pro model have it also? Great video Ed, keep them coming.

  • @DxDOverland
    @DxDOverland 5 лет назад

    Thanks. I'm just dipping my toes into drone video and this brought up a few notable points. LOL: When you discussed the focus/zzom-in problem and your solution, I was thinking, well, though sometimes not practical, I'd have just shot that from zoomed-in to zoomed-out, then reversed it in the editor. The LOL is because later in the video you suggest that very technique for another shot. Personally, I prefer to not shoot with digital zoom at all since I can take care of that in my editor, as well. But, I can see where if you're switching from optical to digital, doing it with the Mavic would give a smoother product at highest quality. Anyway, thanks again for the vid!

  • @trevblackmore
    @trevblackmore 5 лет назад +1

    Hi Ed,. love your tutorials. The issue with focus on zooming is most likely due to the f2.8 aperture. At f2.8 you have a very shallow depth of field. The subject has to be in focused and the rest of the background is naturally blurred. Hence the tip you gave for zooming. Well done.

    Hi Ed, thanks for the video. My 2 zoom is in the mail as I type this so I'm looking at some videos to get a feel for the drone. I just lost my Mavic Air yesterday. Had a low battery and expected it to return-to-home...well, it climbed straight up to one hundred and some feet and then headed the opposite direction from RTH and ran out of battery then dropped into a tree about one hundred feet off the ground. One I get the drone I will come back and watch this again. Thank you.
