Body Exposure Compensation Dial: 0, and the lock button engaged
Focus: Auto (infinity does work as well)
Exposure Mode: Manual
ISO: Auto
Aperture: f/5 - f/11 depending on lighting conditions
Shutter: 1/1000 or greater (can go as low as 1/500 but aircraft needs to slow down to prevent blur.
Storage: USB Drive
In low light conditions, adjust the shutter speed and aperture to avoid high ISO. Open the aperture first, then decrease the shutter speed if needed, and reduce flight speed if motion blur persists. Wider apertures than f/5 can be used, but the photos will lose sharpness, so be sure to test if the resulting images' quality will satisfy your mission's needs.
