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?

X5s 15mm sharpness?

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.
I have the same observation. I've been applying the following sharpening to my 1.7/15mm DNGs in Lightroom: amount = 100, r = 1.5, detail = 50. The result appears acceptable, without too much over-sharpening artifacts.
Also had to constantly remind myself to adjust expectations of what comes out of a MFT system.

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.

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...
thanks, 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.

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 it
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.
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.

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.

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?
Panasonic 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...
It's decient you're not moving much. I'm planning on getting a Panasonic leica 12mm lens when I get around to it. I mostly do mapping, surveying, & inspections. it's where the money is...
Soft edges you can get away with.
