The most important spec affecting photo
0:02
quality is the sensor size. And DJI has
0:06
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
0:23
model can capture richer details and
0:26
gather more light, which is particularly
0:29
useful in low light and high dynamic
0:31
range situations.
0:35
As 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
rather than f1.7.
0:47
This should not cause issues as the
0:49
previous model already has a good low
0:52
light performance and the Mini5 Pro's
0:54
larger sensor should gather enough light
0:57
to compensate for the slightly smaller
0:59
aperture.
1:03
We can choose to save photos in RAW,
1:05
JPEG, or in both formats, which is what
1:09
I generally do.
1:12
Until a few years ago, I would only use
1:15
RAW,
1:20
but the JPEG format has constantly
1:22
improved. And in Minifi Pro, it can be
1:25
successfully used
1:28
when we need to post an image quickly or
1:31
when an editing device is not available.
1:36
The Mini Pro offers two resolution
1:39
options. the traditional 12 megapixel
1:41
mode and the 50 megapixel one obtained
1:45
by splitting each pixel into four
1:48
smaller ones.
1:52
I will not go into technical details
1:54
about the 50 megapixel mode as I already
1:57
done a specific video about it. You can
1:59
watch it by clicking on the link above.
2:03
Later on I will show you example of the
2:05
two modes.
2:11
In the photo menu above the shutter, we
2:13
can choose auto exposure bracketing to
2:16
take three, five, or seven photos in
2:19
rapid succession with different exposure
2:21
values. Each image with a difference of
2:24
one/ird of a stop compared to the
2:26
previous one. On most occasion, I use
2:29
this option for two reasons.
2:32
First of all, to make sure that I always
2:34
have at least one photo perfectly
2:36
exposed. It also gives me the
2:38
possibility to merge the images to HDR
2:42
for better results in certain light
2:44
conditions.
2:47
For merging to HDR, I use Luminar Neo,
2:51
my favorite photo editing program. You
2:54
will find info about Luminar Neo in the
2:56
video description together with a coupon
2:59
code for a discount. You can watch my
3:01
video about it via the link above.
3:05
Another major feature of the Mini 5 Pro
3:07
is the presence of a 48 mm metal mode,
3:12
offering a two time zoom with higher
3:14
quality compared to the digital zoom of
3:17
previous models.
3:19
Using this mode, we can get closer to
3:22
targets that cannot otherwise be
3:24
reached, increase the parallax effect
3:27
when different layers are present in an
3:29
image, and obtain better separation
3:31
between a target and the background.
