Since i upgraded to v.2.1.0 when i try to Align the images taken from Wingtra One GenII drone (fixed wing) i get the following message.

"Found oblique cameras without specified capture distance. Continue?"

All photos are Nadir but because Wingtra One is a fixed wing drone i understand that during turns there can be some pictures that have a rotation in Omega and Phi that are more than 200 and that makes Metashape to report that there are oblique images. Is this the case?
If i ignore the message and process them i do not see any problems or is there something i do not see?

Is it ok to process the images by ignoring this message?

Hi Costas:
When Metashape finds oblique tilt angles in metadata, it can estimate overlap only when capture distance is entered in reference settings. In previous versions no warning mentioned this.
If object distance is empty, some overlaps would be wrongly estimated. See this drawing to understand.
