@Efliernz shared above, automated pano's are indeed limited to jpeg output only with the Anafi, currently. If you want DNG pano's, you have to do them yourself.
This is mentioned in the manual, which I need to get into the habit of looking at again, when I am curious about these sorts of things, in future.
Available photo formats for each photo mode are as follows:
- Single: JPEG RECT, JPEG WIDE, DNG+JPEG
- Burst: JPEG RECT, JPEG WIDE
- Bracketing: JPEG RECT, JPEG WIDE, DNG+JPEG
- Timer: JPEG RECT, JPEG WIDE, DNG+JPEG
- Panorama: JPEG RECT only
The manual also mentions:
Before shooting a panorama:
- Make sure you are not flying lower than 10 meters (30ft) over water.
- Make sure no object nor subject are present in a 10 meters (30ft) radius around Anafi
- Bear in mind Anafi locks the exposure (refer to the “AE Lock ” section of this guide for additional information on exposure locking) of the frame with which you start your panorama. For this reason, Parrot recommends you always frame the main subject of the intended panorama before pressing the shutter button.
- Bear in mind Anafi will not enable you to proceed with a panorama if the drone is short on power (capturing a 360 Panorama takes Anafi up to 3 minutes).
Somebody else earlier today mentioned in the forum somewhere their amusement of seeing mention of flying over water given as part of an instruction on how to use the Flight Plan feature, with the example involving flying around a lighthouse over water, when the manual states not to fly over water. I agree with them, it's a bit of a pilot beware situation, but so is taking the thing into the air anywhere. There's this thing called gravity that isn't friendly to things that are not really supposed to be in the air naturally.
For
@doylecolmdoyle , you lock the exposure by having the area you want exposed correctly within the first frame of your panorama's when using the Anafi, this is mentioned in the second part I quoted above.
Looks like we have to manually create our DNG panorama's gentlemen. It would be pretty amazing if one day the Anafi had the ability to allow you to manually set exposure for your panorama's, have them captured as DNG's, & even as bracketed DNG's! I can wish!
