  2.2.2 [Advanced] Shooting in special format (Raw, AEB, Timelapse, Burst, super-resolution) Raw Shooting A er opening Raw shooting, photos will be stored simultaneously in Raw (dng format) and jpg format while taking photos. The following illustration shows the e ect of a jpg photo. Raw is to store photos shot by 6 lenses to be the most primitive DNG images, which can be synthesized into 8K / 3D panoramic photos later, saving the details of images to the maximum.
• Page 64
  Please note that in Stitcher, color correction function only takes e ect for stitched photo in jpg format. Photo in dng format (Raw) can be stitched only. Please use Photoshop to adjust color for Raw photo. AEB (Automatic Surround Exposure) Auto Exposure Bracket (AEB) mode continuously takes 3, 5, 7, 9 groups of photos of di erent exposures, to synthesize one photo with relatively high latitude (which is widely known as HDR high dynamic range photo).
• Page 65
  For example, this is an ordinary jpg photograph taken in the shade of a tree, the part of the sky where the sun has been exposed in order to get the details of the shade. Choose Auto Exposure Bracket mode to take 9 groups of photos with di erent exposure, and then synthesize them into one photo through Stitcher, which can greatly improve the photo tolerance.
• Page 66
  Burst is to shoot 10 groups of photos. The continuous capture is carried out based on the camera shutter speed, so the shutter speed is 1 / 10s to the minimum. 10 continuous captured photos can be exported. This mode can be used in taking group photos and static scenes.
• Page 67
  Photos are stored in jpg or dng format. The jpg photos are all stored in the SD card, and if you choose to shot in RAW+JPG dual format, only the dng (raw) photos in Timelapse mode will be stored on the six MicroSD cards. All the rest of the photo mode’s jpg and dng are stored in the SD card.

  As for Sampling Type, if the camera is still static then three sampling types are not very di erent from each other. If the camera is moving, sampling with slower speed can obtain better image quality which is commonly used in video stitching.

  This will diminish the possibility of moving objects creating undesirable stitching e ects or shadows. Steps: 1. Import the burst photos in to Insta360 Stitcher. The «Super Resolution» option will be shown in the sidebar on the right.
• Page 79
  2. Choose the «Super Resolution» option, and the highest resolution will increase by two grades, 8.2K for the best GearVR e ect and the other 12K. The default Super Resolution is 8.2K. 3. If the super resolution function is used for the first time, the setting of origin photos for super resolution is required. Please select an appropriate number of origin photos.
• Page 80
  4. Save the intended value in «super resolution setting». Create a task to export (original photos are the 8K bursts), and one 12K resolution photo will be produced. Compared to the 8K original photo on the le , the 12K super resolution photo on the right shows details with greater sharpness.
• Page 81
  Tips: To attain the best super resolution image results, please make sure photos be taken in stationary. The more static the camera stays during shooting, the more clear the image will be. It has been proved that photo shot in an environment with minimal interruptive movement will achieve great image quality.

  You can drag mouse to view from di erent angles in 3D interface. The angle value can be modified in the camera property of 3D and change field angle size. 8 millimeters is the view angle of panoramic view on Facebook by default. So we can easily modify picture details at a specific point of view.
• Page 91
  Adjust view to bottom, use imitation seal, patch, stain wipe tools, to remove tripod at the bottom. Because filters can only apply to visible parts, if you want to modify the overall color, you can use «adjust» in the camera workspace, to directly modify picture’s overall exposure, color etc.
