Shot this at 390' - f5, 1/1000 sec, 100 ISO; got a focus, but it looks kinda fuzzy - but maybe that's normal from this distance?

I'm gonna. Also gonna look back at some older pictures. Seems like they always need a little sharpening. Part of the problem might be that I am a professional photographer and am used to super sharp pix coming from my Nikons.Shoot some structures to see what that would look like.

Wow thanks for that - I don't remember having an issue like this with my Nikons. So 400-800 best huh? Someone above said 200, which is what I've been using...Have you fixed this issue? It looks like something similar when you turn your sensor way down. (iso100) I have seen this on a couple of nikon DSLR's. I found the native (sweet spot) that the sensor has and the soft effect went away. It did it on my x5s as well. I usually keep it in the 400-800. This may be something totally different, but maybe another step.

Yeah - if I can avoid it I don't use ND filters. For stills, no problem. You're paying a lot for that lens - why put something in front of itthanks, its kind of like turning it wayyy up and getting a ton of noise. (hot spots) If you have to bring it down due to overall brightness in the scene, start with a circular polarizer which reduces a lot of bounced ambient and makes things really pop! other than that if it is really bright (snow in sun or similar, put a ND filter on it. **note- don't stack filters as they may end up in your frame of view vignetting the image.

No didn't try another one. I just did a test...I'll post the results. Would be nice if we had some common target to shoot at so we could compare notes.Are you sure it's not the lens, did you try another one?
This is a raw image - just as it came off card - comes out to 40MB in DNG format. ISO 200, f4, 15mm lens. Drone was landed at the time. Focus was on the truck.No didn't try another one.

I'd always heard that the DJI 15mm is a good lens...I bought the bird used and no calibration plate - I'll see if I can download. What do use use for the same field of view as the 15?Is it the only lens you have? I don't use the DJI lens, I use Panasonic GX, Panasonic Leica Summalux, & Sigma lenses. The only one I have any issue with out of focus shots is the GX, it's a (very) little slow on center focus.
Have you tried manual focusing?
A common subject could be a face at a set distance or the calibration plate that comes with the aircraft.
Panasonic G X A.S.P.H 14mm-42mm power zoom. you can control zoom from GO4 or the focus wheel.I'd always heard that the DJI 15mm is a good lens...I bought the bird used and no calibration plate - I'll see if I can download. What do use use for the same field of view as the 15?
The calibration plate is for after a crash or something.I'd always heard that the DJI 15mm is a good lens...I bought the bird used and no calibration plate - I'll see if I can download. What do use use for the same field of view as the 15?
You like the zoom? I bought a cheap Olympus zoom - very soft on the cornersPanasonic G X A.S.P.H 14mm-42mm power zoom. you can control zoom from GO4 or the focus wheel.
I run a kinda crazy setup...
