During the flight, the dummy battery powered by WingtraOne needs to be inserted into the battery compartment. To change the settings without powering on WingtraOne,

the external camera battery can be used. The Charging Accessories chapter tells you how to charge this battery.

Check and Adjust Camera Settings QX1

In most cases, the default camera settings should be fine. If you want to change the settings, you have to power on WingtraOne, manually switch on the camera (press

On/Off button on camera housing), open the PlayMemories app on your tablet, and connect to the camera (See the WingtraOne QX1 Troubleshooting Section if it does

not connect). The recommended settings differ depending on the used lens, see below.

For more information about the camera see the official Sony Documentation.

QX1 with 16mm or 20mm Pancake Lens

Camera Program Mode Shutter Speed [s] Aperture, f-Number ISO Settings Image Quality

Shutter Priority 1/2000 auto 1000 fine

The default settings give good results in large range of light conditions. In case of very dark conditions you can increase shutter time (do not go beyond 1/1000s) and ISO

(do not go beyond 3200). In case of very bright conditions you can decrease the ISO value.

As a photogrammetry expert you can of course also try out different settings. If you want to adjust camera settings before every flight, you can use the cameras "Program

Mode" and set shuttertime, aperture and ISO to the sweet spot (shuttertime ~ 1/2000s, aperture ~ 5, ISO depending on conditions). Make sure you do not face the camera

into the sun when adjusting the settings in Program Mode.

Focus should be set to "manual focus" and infinity. Auto focus leads to inaccurate geotagging and potentially holes in the map due to missed triggers. We recommend not

touching the focus unless you have problems with image sharpness. After exchanging lenses (from 15mm Voigtländer to the 16/20mm lens) we highly recommend to

confirm a good focus setpoint of the lens prior to the first flight.

To check the focus setpoint of the camera, place the WingtraOne with the camera facing to the horizon and power on the WingtraOne. Then remove the top cover and

press the on/off button of QX1 and connect to the camera using the PlayMemories App on your tablet. You should see a live view of the camera image. Take a picture and

pinch to zoom into the fetched image on the tablet. If the image is sharp just disconnect the camera from the PlayMemories App by pressing the back button on the tablet

twice. If the image is not sharp you should adjust the focus set point, as explained in the WingtraOne QX1 Troubleshooting Section.

QX1 with 15mm Voigtländer Lens

Camera Program Mode Shutter Speed [s] Aperture, f-Number ISO Settings Image Quality

Shutter Priority 1/2000 4.5 (adjust on lens) auto-ISO fine

With 15mm Voigtländer lens, you fix both aperture (on the lens) and shutter time (on the camera). This means you fly manual exposure and should use auto-ISO.

The default settings give good results in large range of light conditions. In case of very dark conditions you can increase shutter time (do not go beyond 1/1000s). In case

of very bright conditions you can decrease shutter time (e.g. to 1/4000s).

The 15mm lens has a calibrated mechanical focus. Turn the focus ring to infinity and the images will be perfectly sharp.
