For additional details on the “Panorama” mode, refer to the next section, “
Generating
Panoramas”.
In “Timelapse” mode, the screen flashes white then freezes briefly in black and white to
confirm a picture has been taken. 5 to 120 seconds later, depending on your option choice,
the drone takes another photo, and so on until you press the shutter button again to stop
the Timelapse. Between each shutter action, a green progress bar, at the bottom of the
screen, serves as a countdown. At the end of the Timelapse, the number to the left of the
soft shutter button reflects the total number of medias on the microSD card of the drone.
In “GPS Lapse” mode, the screen flashes white then freezes briefly in black and white to

: when the drone reaches any
point on a 5 to 200-meter radius sphere around the initial photo, depending on your option
choice, the drone takes another photo, and so on until you press the shutter button again to
stop the GPS Lapse. Between each shutter action, a green progress bar, at the bottom of the
HUD, lets you estimate the distance the drone must cover before the next shot. At the end of
the GPS Lapse, the number to the left of the soft shutter button reflects the total number of
medias on the microSD card of the drone.
About
ANAFI USA
photo formats:
JPEG RECT: 4:3 aspect ratio, up to 16MP and 75.5° horizontal field of view (HFOV)
JPEG WIDE: 4:3 aspect ratio, 21MP, 84° HFOV – zoom is disabled for this format
DNG+JPEG: 4:3 aspect ratio, 21MP, 84° HFOV – zoom is disabled for this format
The DNG+JPEG option produces at least 2 files (1 DNG, 1 JPEG) for each shutter action.
As other RAW picture formats, DNG is a very useful format for professional
photography processing and workflow. Indeed, RAW formats retain all the information
gathered by photography sensors, contrary to JPEG formats – which are compressed
and processed renderings of this comprehensive information. In consequence, RAW
pictures such as
ANAFI USA
’s DNG are heavy files, but they offer the very best post-
processing and retouching possibilities.
Creating Panoramas
ANAFI USA
panoramas are generated automatically through the gallery of FreeFlight 6,
based on a series of pictures taken by the drone.
The generation of a panorama, regardless of its format, implies three phases:
-
collecting the pictures, in flight;
-
downloading the pictures from
ANAFI USA
to your Parrot Skycontroller USA;
-
stitching the pictures together to create the panorama, on your Parrot Skycontroller
USA, through the gallery of FreeFlight 6.
Before shooting a panorama:
-
Make sure you are not flying lower than 10 meters (30ft) over water.
