We have an Insire 1 RAW with the X5R camera. That's all working fine, but we recently purchased a manual (no electronics) lens, specifically, the Laowa 7.5mm (though any no-electronics lens should be equivalent).
The drone & camera are running the latest firmware and the app is up to date.
I am struggling to get the camera to work in RAW mode with still images. This works fine with several electronics-enabled lenses. However, with the Laowa lens attached, the drone will not take pictures at all. Tapping the shutter button does nothing. I can't even switch between video and photo modes on the app - the buttons just hang. I'm trying to use the camera in "M" mode. With the Laowa lens I've even tried the hot-swap technique (though it makes me very nervous to touch the gimbal while it's powered up) from a DJI 15mm lens to no avail.
It seems to work in JPEG mode. I don't care about validity of EXIF data; I can clean that later if I have to, I just want the camera to snap the picture. Is this a limitation (can't ever do RAW) or am I missing something? Has anyone gotten a fully manual lens to take a RAW still on the X5R? Note that I want a full-resolution RAW 16MP still, not the ~8MP RAW that comes from a RAW video. Another weird thing: the SSD doesn't seem to show up when the drone is powered up with the Laowa attached. I have a theory on why this happens (shared SPI bus between the SSD and the lens, but I can't prove that and I can't see why the SSD would have SPI in the first place).
Has anyone tried to glue a focus confirmation chip like the Dandelion onto this lens and if so, did that solve the above problems?
Thanks to any help anyone can be! I'm stumped....
