The OA5 is brighter but also has more washed out colors to my eye. If you look at around the 2:20 mark and again at 5:20 in the video and notice the ground shadows, the OA4 has better contrast than the OA5 to me. At 5:20 the shadows are hardly visible at all on the OA5. If your pants are more olive green than desert tan, the OA4's color accuracy was also better, if not than the color science on the OA5 was more accurate. I'm interested to see how they stack up with the A5 in High Bitrate mode. It's awesome that you're taking the time to edit and upload these too! I'm not noticing a whole lot of difference bitrate wise in this footage either.
Thanks! I'm a big camera nerd and a stickler for the details so finding out which puts out the absolute best quality is super important to me, and I'm happy to share my findings. We have a week of rain ahead here so it'll be a little bit before I can do a proper high bitrate test, but I am interested to see if it fixes that shadow contrast. I also think both cameras expose slightly differently so doing some more exposure editing could bring them closer in line too.
hi, which settings (NR, sharpness) do you prefer in OA4 ? for overall footage, and some recommendation for underwater (except custom WB)? Also, DJI still dont public d-logm whitepaper, does it really increase dynamic range (and brings come color tint shift also compared to Normal rec709 color)
I usually keep NR and sharpness at -2 for both, I can always add either in post. I haven't done any underwater testing with the Action series yet, and not sure whether D Log has more dynamic range than normal.
@@AlexLepoutre yep, thanx! I tried NR-1 and sharpness-2, ISO 100..200 and shutter range in 1/100..1/8000 for 4k60 and it looks pretty good, but a bit underexposure... How to solve it? Add more ISO range = add more noise....

IT Looks a bit better. But they are really 125 Bit?
Yep, according to the metadata
