Shooting Modes

Panorama

Take a panoramic photo with an ultra-wide angle view. The camera will take a group of photos for the view within the FOV and then combine them into a panoramic photo.

There are two panoramic modes: 180° and 3x3.

If 180° is selected, the camera will take four horizontal photos from left to right and combine them into a panoramic photo.

If 3x3 is selected, the camera will take nine photos from different directions and combine them into the final panoramic photo.

Take a Photo

Take a photo or countdown photo.
Record a video.

Low Light

When selected, the camera will automatically adjust exposure parameters intelligently to improve image quality in low-light environments.

Slow Motion

Supports 4x or 8x slow-motion video shooting. In Slow Motion mode, the camera records the video with a high frame rate and slows the footage down to 4x or 8x the normal speed during playback. Slow Motion catches details not visible to the naked eye, which is ideal for fast-action shots. Note that slow-motion videos do not include audio. The audio file is stored as a standalone file and has the same path as the video file, which can be transferred to your computer.

Timelapse

Select from Hyperlapse, Timelapse, and Motionlapse. In this mode, the camera turns long events into short videos by taking a frame of video at set intervals.

• Use Hyperlapse to record smooth timelapse videos when the camera is in motion such as in a car or when held in the hand.
• Use Timelapse to record timelapse videos when the camera is mounted and still. Three presets in Timelapse are designed for typical scenes such as Crowds, Clouds, and Sunsets. Users can also optimize the interval and duration for recording Timelapse videos.
• Motionlapse allows you to move along preset shooting positions and record a timelapse video from different angles. Motionlapse supports LTR (Left to Right), RTL (Right to Left), and Custom Motion. When using Custom Motion, select 2-4 positions and the gimbal will move to each position in sequence.
