Samsung launched its first Gear 360 panorama camera in the previous year. A year later, Samsung launched a new version of the Gear 360 at its March conference. So how can this new Gear 360 panorama camera bring us some surprises? Comparison of two generations of Gear 360 parameters With handle is more convenient Comparison between the size of two generations of Gear 360 and iPhone 6s To say the difference between the new Gear 360 and the previous generation, it must be a difference in appearance. The previous generation Gear 360 was a spherical design, while the new version was a camera plus handle design. This design can reduce the overall volume, but also facilitate the use of handheld users. The new buttons and screens are the same as those of the previous generation, but the location is slightly different. The video keys and the screen are placed on the handle. It is more convenient to control the start and end of the handheld video and photos. The new Gear 360 has an IP53 protection level that is dust and splash proof. This is important for a camera that needs to be photographed outdoors. The previous generation used a small triangle bracket to increase stability, while the new version added a rubber ring to the hand strap. Placing the Gear 360 on this ring would enhance stability. This design is very convenient, but it also eliminates the hassle of carrying a bracket when you go out. Increased functionality and easier operation The new version of Gear 360 adds landscape HDR mode based on the previous generation of the four modes of video, photo, time-lapse recording, and video looping. In this mode, the new Gear 360 will optimize the panoramic landscape shots. Set specific parameters on the phone If you operate directly on the camera, you can only select the mode and the connected device (mode), and more specific parameters such as white balance, exposure compensation, and the delay of the video are set to be completed after connecting the phone. . Samsung also optimized the interface of the Samsung Gear 360. The main interface has become more concise, and some key information (such as battery power, whether it is connected, etc.) can also be directly displayed on the main interface. The change in the shooting interface is not great. Like the previous generation of Gear 360, the new Gear 360 still needs to be connected to a mobile phone to automatically stitch and output seamless panoramic images and videos after shooting. Surprising imaging results The new Gear 360 camera has been upgraded to a certain degree. The two fisheye lenses each have a built-in 8.4-megapixel CMOS sensor. The maximum resolution of the dual-lens is 4096X2048 (ie supports 4K video capture) when recording, and the dual-camera can be used when taking still photos. 15 million pixels. With this upgrade, the picture and video details have improved significantly. Photo mode Landscape HDR mode (Click on the image for a larger view) The increased landscape HDR mode is very practical for users with the need for panoramic landscape photographing. From the above two photographs taken in the same perspective using the photo mode and the landscape HDR mode respectively, it can be seen that the landscape HDR mode handles the details of the dark part of the picture better, and the contrast is also lower than that of the normal photo mode. (Click on the image for a larger view) The image quality in the night mode has also been improved, but since there is no external light-filling device, the noise is still obvious. For panoramic video shooting, as the new Gear 360 supports 4K video capture, from the perspective of the source files, the quality of video capture can be said to have been a surprising improvement compared to the previous generation. What's a shame is that after uploading to the video platform, there will be compression on the picture quality, so it can't fully display the shooting effect. iPhone users can also play This new version of the Gear 360 supports the A5/A7 in addition to the Samsung Galaxy S6's flagship phone. It also supports iPhone 6 and above and iPhone SE. At present, Samsung Gear 360 is already on the Apple App Store, but only supports iOS10 and above systems. Because the Bluetooth function of the iPhone is relatively closed, the iPhone is connected to the Gear 360 through Wi-Fi. This is different from the fact that the Samsung mobile phone is connected to the Gear 360 via Bluetooth. However, compared with Bluetooth, the stability through Wi-Fi connection is not bad. Panoramic Video and Gear VR If you use Samsung's flagship mobile phone to connect Gear 360, the captured video can also be viewed directly on the Gear VR. Of course, the premise is that you have a Gear VR. Watch the effect, a little blurry feeling Above the Gear VR, you can see the effect of panoramic video more intuitively. However, it may be the reason for the setting, and the perceived sharpness of the video is still not good enough. Better panoramic content creation device Whether it's portability or functionality, the new version of the Gear 360 is a very powerful home-level panorama camera. After adding support for the iPhone, it also created the possibility of creating panoramic content for more users. For the new Gear 360, Samsung is hoping that it can make greater breakthroughs in VR content output. From the perspective of the entire evaluation process, the new Gear 360 is not insignificant in comparison with the previous generation, and it is indeed a better panoramic content creation device. Of course, there is such an excellent panoramic content creation device in hand, of course, we have to play with something special. As for how to play? And see next article decomposition.
