To obtain quality images, you must adjust the camera image. In case of incorrect settings, images from TOPODRONE P61 camera may be unsuitable for further photogrammetric post-processing. The final parameters are always individual, as they depend on the current lighting conditions, speed and altitude of the drone.

To obtain high-quality and correct images from the TOPODRONE P61 photogrammetric camera using the AGROWING multispectral lens, it is recommended to use the following parameters:

Shooting mode: Shutter speed priority  
Shutter time: 1/1000 - 1/4000  
ISO: Auto  
White Balance: Auto  
Set the auto continuous focus mode (AF-C)  
Switch off autofocus when the shutter is turned on  
Set the camera to Single Shooting mode  
Turn off the Automatic Review  
Set high quality photos

## Adjusting the parameters using the Smart Controller

When the aircraft is switched on, the camera receives power, initializes and appears in DJI Pilot 2 as the TOPODRONE payload.

**Step 1**: Launch the DJI Pilot2 software. Make sure the software recognizes the drone and payload type      **Step 2**. Select “Enter Camera View”, then the “Prepare for Flight” window will open, after closing this window, the Topodrone P61 camera view will be displayed     **Step 3**. Make sure that there is a live video stream from the camera.    
 
   **Step 4**. Open the camera settings menu by clicking on the Three Dots button. **Step 5**. The TOPODRONE P61 camera payload menu opens       **Step 6**: Adjust the 4 main image parameters: Light Sensitivity, Aperture, Aperture and Shooting Mode. **Step. 7**         **Step 8**: Close the menu and in AF (autofocus) mode, tap in the middle of the screen to focus the image. It is recommended to perform this step while flying on the ground from the mission operating altitude. **Step 9**. Change the focus type from AF to MF. In this case all photos taken by TOPODRONE P61 will have the same focus value. This is important for correct photogrammetric post-processing

## Configuring shooting settings using a Wi-Fi connection

After the camera is turned on, an access point with the name of the Wi-Fi network **TD\_61mp** will appear, to which you can connect using the password: **topodrone**.

After the connection has been successfully completed, in the browser window you should enter the address: [**192.168.10.1**](https://knowledge.topodrone.ru/192.168.10.1)

The **Main** menu displays the current camera settings and the video stream.
