blades reflection in dng? Anyone else seen this

[karamat]

I thought this was a chip on the lease but maybe it's a reflection of the blades? Has anyone else seen this, run into this or have a fix? I see absolutely nothing physically on the lens anywhere.
(the artifacts are on the sides of the picture. They were taken on dng mode, then cropped horizontally after pushing the distortion correction in Photoshop RAW. These artifacts are not a result of photoshop distortion and are in the original photos.)
Thanks

Yep, I see exactly the same with my Bebop 2 - you can see it in the picture below.

Like you I initially thought it was something on the lens and then decided it must be the props. I guess if you wanted to be really sure you could swap the black props on to the front and see if the artefacts are black instead of white, but I've never bothered. I find it doesn't affect the video or photos in practice as this area is never within the cropped frame.

Definitely some sort of reflection. Have you tried taken a picture without flying, see if it’s still there.
