ANAFI Ai - ISO Value (ISO); White Balance (WB)

ANAFI Ai
70
As ANAFI Ai’s f/2.0 aperture lens lets a lot of light in, even compared to most professional
SLR lenses, your drone can achieve very fast “s” values (down to 1/10000s) and capture
very fast action. It can also be used for slow shots, up to 1/15 second for the photo mode.
Note that ANAFI Ai can shoot pictures and videos when it is not flying. You can even hold
it in your hand and use it as a premium stabilized 4K video and photo camera.
Tap the “s” box to open the shutter slider.
Select a value to exit the auto-mode for shutter speed and ISO. This action also
deactivates the EV slider.
Set the s value you require, then tap the “ISO” box to select an ISO value.
Experiment: the display of the HUD reflects your settings. If you get lost, tap Auto
either on the “s” or the “ISO” slider to get back to auto exposure and reactivate the
EV slider.
ISO value (ISO)
The ISO value refers to the sensitivity of the sensor. As we have seen, it is linked to the
shutter speed value: both sliders activate when you deactivate the “Auto” mode and set a
value for one, or for the other. The lower the ISO value, the lower the sensitivity of the
sensor, and the lower the image noise (digital grain). Therefore, under good lighting
conditions, such as sunny daylight outside shots, low ISO values (between 50 and 200)
should always be selected. The sensitivity of the sensor increases as the ISO value goes
up: 1600 ISO can be used to capture low light interior scenes, or exterior shots at dusk or
dawn, for example.
By default, in Auto mode, ANAFI Ai constantly adapts its ISO and shutter speed values to
the scene it is filming. Setting an ISO value for a whole shot or series of shot, however, is
very useful to professional filming.
Tap the ISO box to open the shutter slider.
Select a value to exit the Auto mode for ISO and shutter speed. This action also
deactivates the EV slider.
Set the ISO value you require, then tap the “s” box to select a shutter value.
Experiment: the display of the HUD reflects your settings. If you get lost, tap Auto
either on the “s” or the “ISO” slider to get back to auto exposure and reactivate the
EV slider.
White balance (WB)
White balance deals with the color temperature of the light. Cold lights make the whites look
blue. Warm lights make the whites look yellow. By default, in Auto WB mode, ANAFI Ai
keeps the whites white, at all times: it adapts its WB value in real time.
However, setting a WB value for an entire shot is especially useful for professional filming:
stable WB facilitates the grading (color treatment) of videos.
