Autel Evo Drone Issues - Import .dng

[Will27762256lc2t]

When I import files from my Autel Evo 2 Pro V3 the .dngs look completely different than the actual photos. 

They import fine but when I click on them the zoom level changes and they turn neon red - the white balance sliders go to the far ends. Also the only profile availble is "XL706" and I can't add or change others. Adaptive color is the only other option and it makes the colors worse. 

No amount of sliding fixes this insane color. Everything looked fine while taking the photos but they are unusable.  I shot on auto white baalcne and tried again at 5500k - does not make a difference. The other thing is all my presets are in italics aka will not work with the selected photos which is a dng, which is what I used to make the preset. 

This does not happen with any other photos from any other camera.

For $3500 this drone f*cking blows. Do not buy it. 20MP my ass, 6k? Nope, 4k? Maybe but its a stretch. Controls are garabge too. 

Any ideas whats happening? Nothing is being applied at import and I can't figure out what the hell is happening.

Hi @Will27762256lc2t, welcome to the community!

Sorry to hear your photos aren’t looking quite right, that can definitely be frustrating. Could you let me know which version of Lightroom Classic you're using? Also, what do the photos look like before you import them?

If you're able to share a few sample DNG files, that would really help us test things on our end and get to the bottom of it. You can use a file-sharing service such as Google Drive or Dropbox and create a public link.

Thanks so much!

Lightroom classic 2025. Before import they look more zoomed in, which is how they were taken and like "standard raws" just kind of flat and bland but ready to edit. But when I import they literally zoom out and turn red. These also do not edit like a raw - it acts more like a jpeg. @Aleke

Same issue happens with Photoshop and Camera Raw. The Photos are just red. Perhaps not a Lightroom Classic issue.
