JPEG vs RAW for Drone Photography — Which One Should You Use?

Описание: Is RAW always better? Not necessarily. In this video, I break down the fundamental differences between shooting in JPEG and RAW on your drone and why the "best" format depends entirely on what you are flying for.

We look at the data behind the images, comparing JPEG to a finished latte and RAW to a bag of beans you can grind yourself. I’ll explain why commercial mapping missions almost exclusively require JPEG to avoid choking your drone's buffer, and why creative real estate or landscape shots demand RAW to save you from exposure and white balance mistakes.

Whether you are doing high-speed photogrammetry or trying to capture a cinematic sunset, this video will help you choose the right format for the job.

In this video, I cover:

The difference between processed images and sensor data.

Why JPEG is the king of speed and drone mapping.

How RAW files saved me on a client job when I messed up my white balance.

Managing storage space and workflow efficiency.
