To retain 20mp resolution after a crop of any size would be a feat of magic. You might trick the EXIF data into stating it was the original size, but the report would be false.
Sure, I’ll post some tomorrow as it’s nearly midnight here and I’m in bed now. The best setting if I’m honest is ‘original’ colours come real nice. All the others are oversaturated and a nightmare to work with in post.
Also noticed a big typo error in that video and music is distorted, so will redo and repost tomorrow as well
I think issue may be an improperly loaded profile if they are using Lightroom...I used the Inspire profile for a while but have since turned profile off entirely.After watching the Pegasus video posted by YuKay it appears there’s some room for a better lens. A pin cushion effect is definitely present.
Thanks for taking the time to do this but overcast flat light is not really good light for shooting this sort of demonstration...the differences are much more dramatic when shooting in sunshine. I always use normal so the DNG has more latitude for dealing with highlights and shadows.Here is the colour video again updated, I had to remove the last one due to errors in typos that I made.
Thats correct @rdonson DNG have been left totally raw
You asked me to upload some photos from the H+, Here are the ones I used in the colour video completely unedited for you to play with. I would respectfully ask that when any of you have had a play with them you do not share or post on any form of website or social media but simply use for your own testing. Thank you

I was thinking that perhaps the sensor has more than 20 Mpixels available and the .dng image used more pixels than the .jpg image thus allowing for some cropping to correct for barrel distortion while still producing a 20 Mp final image. While the 1" Sony sensor does have slightly more than 20 million effective pixels (at 3:2 image ratio), that's not what happens. Looking at the data from the Pegasus files, I see that the .jpg files actually have slightly more pixels than the .dng files. Of course, the smaller .jpg file size is a result of the .jpg compression (on the order of 59% for these files).To retain 20mp resolution after a crop of any size would be a feat of magic.

So, you're saying that the embedded profile directs the viewing software to upscale the image? Viewing the file without reading the embedded profile reveals that the image is actually less than the advertised 20 Mp. Interesting... I'm remembering what Pat said earlier about "lying".DJI Phantom 4 Pro uses the same kind of digital manipulation in their DNG files but have been much more devious in how it's done. The DNG files when opened in Lightroom look great and are reported as 20MP, however if you open the DNG in RAWTherapee, which does not read the embedded profile, you can see the original captured image has heavy barrel distortion like the C23 has. This is not seen in the JPG or DNG files opened in any software that can read the embedded profile corrections.
Basically Yuneec and DJI crop and correct the image to about 17MP or thereabouts and then up-sample it back to 20MP. Yuneec only seem to apply this to the JPG, DJI do it for both.

I'm not sure any of this really matters as long as we get the image or video that we want and it stands up to critical viewing on good equipment.
