Operating Instructions
Recording 8K 360 Video

Enhanced Low Light Performance (PureVideo)
The all-new PureVideo mode uses AI-powered noise reduction and dynamic range optimization for clear, vivid footage in low-light conditions.

Invisible Selfie Stick Effect
The 360 lens makes the selfie stick disappear from your shots, creating drone-like footage and third-person perspectives.

FlowState Stabilization & 360 Horizon Lock
FlowState stabilization technology eliminates shakes and bumps, ensuring smooth cinematic footage. The 360-degree horizon lock keeps every frame level with the horizon.
