What ISO range does D-Log M allow on each DJI drone?

On every drone below whose spec page gives a D-Log M range, it starts at ISO 100, and the ceiling depends on the model: 1600 on the Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Flip and Mavic 3 Pro; 3200 on the Mini 5 Pro and Air 3S; 6400 on the Mavic 4 Pro Hasselblad camera in standard video (3200 in slow motion and on its two tele cameras).

ISO in D-Log M, drone by drone

DJI Mini 4 Pro: 100 to 1600 in D-Log M; Normal and slow motion go to 6400. DJI Air 3: 100 to 1600 in D-Log M; Normal and slow motion go to 6400. DJI Flip: 100 to 1600 in D-Log M; Normal goes to 6400. DJI Mavic 3 Pro: 100 to 1600 in D-Log M (D-Log 400 to 1600).

DJI Mini 5 Pro: 100 to 3200 in D-Log M, in standard video and slow motion; Normal goes to 12,800 in standard video. DJI Air 3S: 100 to 3200 in D-Log M, standard and slow motion; Normal 100 to 12,800 in standard video.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro Hasselblad camera: D-Log M 100 to 6400 in standard video and 100 to 3200 in slow motion. Its medium tele and tele cameras: D-Log M 100 to 3200.

Why log has a lower ceiling than Normal

Every DJI spec page we read that gives both a log and a Normal ISO range (Mini 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3, Air 3S, Flip, Mavic 3 Pro) lists a lower ceiling for log. The Mini 4 Pro is the clearest case: Normal goes to 6400, D-Log M stops at 1600. Night mode, which reaches 12,800 on the Mini 4 Pro and the Air 3, is a Normal-mode feature, so it is not available when you shoot D-Log M.

The spec pages do not say how noisy each ISO step looks; that you judge on your own footage.

Two drones without a split

The Avata 2 spec page gives one ISO range, 100 to 25,600, without splitting it by color mode, so it does not tell you the D-Log M limit. The original Mavic 3 spec page could not be read on the day we checked. For both, check the manual for your firmware.

Questions

What is the lowest ISO in D-Log M?

ISO 100 on every drone in this list whose spec page gives a D-Log M range.

Can I use Night mode with D-Log M?

On the Mini 4 Pro and Air 3, DJI lists Night mode (800 to 12,800) as a Normal-mode feature, so not in D-Log M.

Why does my drone stop at ISO 1600 in log?

That is the D-Log M ceiling DJI publishes for the Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Flip and Mavic 3 Pro; Normal mode on those drones goes higher.

Made by Bardach Technologies. We also make the Aerialgrade Drone LUT Pack: 20 .cube files with 4 conversion LUTs from D-Log to Rec.709 and 8 looks, each look as a D-Log-in and a Rec.709-in file, plus a PDF guide (USD 39.99, one-time purchase on Gumroad). It has no D-Log M conversion of its own: D-Log M footage is converted with DJI's free LUT first. This page is free and needs no sign-up; nothing is charged on this page.
