About ANAFI Ai photo formats:
JPEG RECT: 4:3 aspect ratio, 48 or 12MP and 65° horizontal field of view (HFOV)
JPEG WIDE: 4:3 aspect ratio,48MP, 73° HFOV – zoom is disabled for this format
DNG+JPEG: 4:3 aspect ratio, 48MP, 73° HFOV – zoom is disabled for WIDE option
• The DNG+JPEG option produces at least 2 files (1 DNG, 1 JPEG) for each shutter action. As other RAW
picture formats, DNG is a very useful format for professional photography processing and workflow.
Indeed, RAW formats retain all the information gathered by photography sensors, contrary to JPEG
formats – which are compressed and processed renderings of this comprehensive information. In
consequence, RAW pictures such as ANAFI Ai’s DNG are heavy files, but they offer the very best post-
processing and retouching possibilities.
Creating Panoramas
ANAFI Ai panoramas are generated automatically through the gallery of FreeFlight 7, based on a series of
pictures taken by the drone.
The generation of a panorama, regardless of its format, implies three phases:
- collecting the pictures, in flight (except for the Super Wide format, which can be shot with a
landed drone);
- downloading the pictures from ANAFI Ai to your device;
- stitching the pictures together to create the panorama, on your device, through the gallery of
FreeFlight 7.
Before shooting a panorama:
- Make sure you are not flying lower than 10 meters (30 ft) over water.
- To optimize the stitching process, make sure no object nor subject are present in a 10 meters
(30 ft) radius around ANAFI Ai.
- Bear in mind ANAFI Ai locks the exposure (refer to the “AE Lock” section of this guide for
additional information on exposure locking) of the frame with which you start your panorama.
For this reason, Parrot recommends you always frame the main subject of the intended
panorama before pressing the shutter button.
- Bear in mind ANAFI Ai will not enable you to proceed with a panorama if the drone is short on
power (capturing a 360 Panorama takes ANAFI Ai 85 seconds).
To capture a panorama, select the “Panorama” box from the imaging “Mode” menu of the HUD. Then,
tap the panorama type you want to select it: Vertical, Horizontal, 360 or Super Wide.
