If the SSD is inserted and not full the raw video will be recorded onto it. You MUST have an SD card inserted too, otherwise you wont be able to record at all. Other than that there's nothing else you need to do besides setting proper resolution and frame-rate.

X5R is NOT good in low light situations. Try and get your hands on it to see for yourself. Maybe DJI can improve the camera behavior in the future by means of firmware updates but as it is today you'd be better of hiring a drone platform that can take a greater camera up there for night shots.

I didn't want to wait until X5R was going to be released so bought X5 when it originally came out hoping that it'd be good enough... How wrong was I :D - so I pre-ordered the raw camera and sold the X5 right away. Even though it took many many months until I finally got my X5R I didn't miss the...

Yep, this is perfectly "normal" behavior of X5R sensor, it's that noisy. And yes, Black Magic and other cameras capture far better images but you need a real helicopter to lift them in the air :D Just expose the footage as high as highlight recovery will be able to handle and "swallow" the...

Yes, the X5R sensor is VERY noisy, in fact you cannot use an ISO setting higher than 400 or you footage will be completely ruined. Just get used to the idea I guess, I already learned not to expect much from this camera in low light situations.

Blacksails, no need to apologize as you may have a point here. The truth is beyond what I may think I know :), I dont care to be right just cause I said something before, I care to know the truth and if you found something the camera does I want to know it. There is something that may cause...

It affects the metadata but not the RAW files, which means, it doesnt affect the RAW footage which was the actual question.

Color profile among with sharpness/saturation/contrast settings do not affect the raw footage in any way. It is strictly for H264 files saved to the microsd card.

Highest I was able to denoise with NeatVideo (which is best denoiser on the market today) was 400 ISO, once you're past that its pretty much unusable. Verdict is - while other raw cameras are quite capable, X5R is just not a good night camera even being raw and all, I learned I shouldn't expect...

Free version give you full RAW control, you must have been trying to use RAW settings on a compressed video which will be greyed out. Check if you're indeed editing an actual raw video.

After plenty of tests here's what I ended up finding as best histogram reference setting: First a necessary preamble - Important thing to remember is that I use Cinelike profile exclusively for H264 footage to be encoded through. Currently histogram in DJI GO app shows exposure levels AFTER the...

Just checked it out with CameraRAW and Davinci Resolve and I can confirm I see the pink vertical lines across the frame. There is definitely an issue with the camera, I've never had anything like it with mine, even at extreme ISO settings the sensor noise is way different from what I'm seeing...

What are you viewing your DNG's with? Can you upload the actual DNG? Cant try reproducing the issue using a JPG file. I suspect it's likely an issue with either RAW settings or RAW reader. Do these artifacts show up in other viewers too?

Do you have it with certain lenses? I see this effect with my Olympus 12mm lens but none with 45mm. I think key is not to use too much "color boost" or "vibrance" effect in raw decoder settings. Very minor values seem to work, i use up to 6 or 8 "color boost" setting in DaVinci Resolve. If you...

I can confirm this too - don't even bother going higher than 400 ISO, it doesn't look pretty and no amount of noise reduction can recover it from looking flickery.
