Summary
When flying with the P5 on any platform you need to consider the minimum shutter speed for that lens and altitude combination. Below you will find a rough guide and a more in depth calculator to ensure that you have the correct shutter speed to give the optimal results.In-Depth
When calculating the minimum shutter speed needed we want to ensure there is no blur however still allow as much light in as possible to allow for a lower ISO if possible. This is why a correct calculation of the minimum shutter speed is essential in giving the best possible results. Even more so on overcast days.
In the examples below we are assuming the following:
- The aircraft is moving max 18m per second
- You want to achieve blur less than 1 pixel
Basic Guide
| Lens / Altitude | 60m | 90m | 120m |
| 35mm | 1/3200 | 1/2000 | 1/1600 |
| 80mm | 1/6500 | 1/5000 | 1/3200 |
Advance Calculator
Below you can put in your specific flight parameters and calculate your needed shutter speed.
Please do not go below 1/1600th of a second as shake from the UAV may cause blur on lower shutterspeeds.
