"I don't think you can prevent that. You don't know what generate this malfunction.
You have to do an accelerometer calibration to see if they are working normally.
Maybe you have to load the last firmware update."

"Hi.

It's not needed to use google earth.
Mission planner on his Log analyzer can show the map and the drone trajectory side by side with the graph of the parameter you selected.
Then, double click on the graph on any point and it show the exact…"

"Hi Ray
I saw the logs. Looks like for some reason, the main accelerometer ACC1 stoped working at line 94.06 and then the stabiization sistem stopped too (see the RATE),and started to osscilate. The second accelerometer ACC2 worked fine but the…"

"Of course pushing the sensor to 3200 is not a good idea.
The QX10 is very very very similar to the wx220, wich is also automatic an laks manual modes.
and I take very nice shots with it with a hexa on windy conditions.
The  sony OIS is one of the…"

"Hi.
I don't have that camera so ..  no guarantee ;-)
The exposure time is too low and the ISO to.
Try increasing the ISO, or if you can use a "Sport Mode", normally they try to set the shutter speed as fast as posible.

thanks"

"Hi Gerhard.
I don't think re-calib is necessary in your case, but just to be sure recalib it. It's easy and cost free ;-).

The magnetometer is the sensor that require to be far away from power wires and magnetics field. That's why it's put on…"

"It´s true ... I made that for a Canon sx260 and it's working. But the canon need a positive pulse on the USB and the SONY a negative one on the wired shutter. Anyway it's working and I started to make mapps.
Thanks."

"Hi.
I made a similar mod to a DSC-Wx220 and it works great (I understand it has the same lens and OIS and a very similar sensor if not the same). I'm just starting on mapping but the initial tests are really good for me.
Can you make a test about…"
