Updating the Insta360 CAM X5 provides ND filters, a giant battery and improved exposure

Insta360 has launched a firmware upgrade and new accessories for its X5 to 360 degree camera As part of what he calls the Insta summer update360. The new key features include “adaptivetone” to improve exposure to double camera, a new “ultra battery” for longer recording times, a set of ND filters and custom -designed lenses.

“It can be difficult for double -objective cameras like X5 to balance the exposure between the two objectives,” said the company. To solve this problem, he came with AdaptiveTone, which independently records the light data for the two objectives in order to preserve the details of highlighting and shadow on the entire spherical image. Then automatically adjusts the exposure according to the perspective you choose, which causes more natural images. It works with both 360 video at 8K 30 IPS and 5.7K 30 IPS with Purevideo flat.

Another key update concerns Purevideo, which allows it to operate the single objective mode rather than simply in 360 mode as before. This will allow creators to capture small light images with reduced noise and improved color fidelity in flat and spherical modes.

The battery life was another key target. The X5 now supports the 8K endurance mode, allowing almost two hours of continuous recording while improving the endurance mode at 5.7K 24 IPS with a boost from 185 to 208 minutes. If you need more performance in this regard, Insta360 sells a new ultra battery of $ 50 which increases the execution time up to 17% to a little less than four hours maximum.

Another new accessory is the X5 ND filters which offer creators more options under lively lighting conditions. The kit includes ND16, ND32 and ND64 filters, allowing you to reduce the shutter speeds to create a natural movement vague for activities such as mountain biking and motorcycle images. In addition, Insta360 offers a X5 personalized replacement lens kit with pre-fabricated patterns, IA illustrations or your own images, to exchange with standard objectives.

Motorcycle creators also get some additional love. Improvements include immersive stabilization which preserves a little natural shake to improve the feeling of speed, as well as the integration of the Sena headset which allows start -up / stop and voice recording controls for hands -free operation. He also introduced a GPS preview remote control with an integrated microphone that combines camera control, live overview, registration of GPS data and a microphone with noise cancellation. Finally, the plaque’s blur function automatically obscures your license plate in images, which prevents you from doing it manually.

Other updates include new diving accessories and software updates with a new invisible diving control accessory and a buoyancy order accessory, as well as an updated Aquavision 3.0 algorithm which analyzes the submarine images and provides a selection of color settings to best match the photo. You can also connect the X5 to a Suunto diving computer so you can do your diving data directly in the images.

Finally, Insta360 has introduced updates to its studio editing software such as improved export speeds, background exports and improvements to AI sewing algorithm. And now you can preview the video files in their folder on your computer without having to open them in the studio, which saves time. Software updates, as well as all new accessories, are now available on Insta360 website.
