this has been bugging me for a while. i take what looks like a great shot on the screen, bring it home, pull it up on my monitor and it just looks kind of dull and soft compared to what i thought i was getting. shooting jpeg mostly. flying a mini 3 if that matters. i dont really edit photos much, i mostly just want them to look good out of the camera. is there something im doing wrong or is this just how it is

the screen on the controller is actually pretty aggressively sharpened and the brightness cranked up which makes everything look better than it is. its kind of a trap. try switching to raw even if it feels intimidating, even just running it through lightroom with the auto enhance button gets you closer to what you thought you were seeing. jpegs from those cameras are fine but theyre also pretty compressed

yeah same thing happened to me when i started, thought somthing was wrong with my unit. its the screen. also make sure your monitor is calibrated cause sometimes thats half the problem too, a cheap monitor will make everything look muddy no matter what you shot
