360-degree cameras: what should I pay attention to?
What should you keep in mind when it comes to video resolution?
It's good to know that the 4K, Full HD, or other resolution stretches over the entire 360-degree image. This means that you can't compare the image quality with that of a normal photo and video camera. There's a clear bulge in the image to create the desired 360-degree angle. In addition, the images aren't razor-sharp. But the more pixels, the larger the size of your images and the better the quality.
What's the difference between a 360-degree camera with 1 or with 2 lenses?
With a camera with 1 lens, you'll find the lens on top of the camera. This ensures a horizontal 260-degree image angle. A camera with 2 lenses bas both a horizontal and a vertical 360-degree image angle. As a result, you also see what's below the camera. Because the images of both cameras are pasted together, there's a so-called stitch line. You'll see this stitch line in your recordings.
What can you use WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, and GPS for?
This depends on the usage situation. Do you want to stream live images to social media and to your friends? It's useful for your camera to have WiFi, NFC, or Bluetooth. If you use your camera during sports activities, a GPS function is interesting. This allows you to add your speed and distance to your videos when you edit them.
