DJI series drones like the Inspire, Phantom, or Mavic have a color setting in the DJI GO app. This is known as the color profile or color mode that is a digital filter that can be applied to aerial photos or videos.
The selected color profile is NOT applied to RAW photos.
DJI has changed the names of the color profiles available multiple times. The color profiles available can vary depending on the specific model and firmware version of the DJI drone. The current color profiles available for the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 for photos are:
- D-Log: This is a flat color profile designed for capturing video footage with increased dynamic range, preserving more details in shadows and highlights. This profile is used by professionals that will make updates in post-processing and color grading.
- D-Cinelike: This color profile is similar to D-Log because it is generally used by professionals that will make updates in post-processing and color grading. However, it will be more visually appealing than D-Log before making post-processing updates.
- Normal: This is the default setting.
- TruColor
- Art
- Film
- B&W: This is for black and white photos.
- Cool
- Twilight
- Pale
- OldPhoto
- Warm
- Blue
- Blockbuster
