I think the Insta360 X4 is the premium 360 camera available right now. But if you really want to unlock the full potential of this camera, you’ve got to dive deeper into the settings, especially in less than perfect shooting conditions. Today, I'll show you what to look out for and which settings matter. If nerding out to get the best out of your X4 is your bag, then this is the video for you.
First things first, let's talk about the shooting modes and which one works best in different situations. Once you tap on the camera icon, the menu will appear. Just swipe left to select the recording mode you want. The choice depends on whether you're in single lens mode or 360 mode. You probably know that your 360 camera has two sensors. The camera's processor combines the images from both sensors to create a 360 image. When you select single lens mode, the camera shoots with just one sensor and lens. But why would you want to do that though? After all, the best thing about this camera is its 360 mode and the ability to reframe shots, especially now the X4 can deliver 8K video, reframed to high image quality 2.7K flat footage.
