| Resolution | Frame rates | Aspect | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8K 360 | 24, 25, 30 | 16:9 | Full sphere — reframe afterwards |
| 5.7K 360 | 24, 25, 30, 50, 60 | 16:9 |  |
| 4K 360 | 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, 100, 120 | 16:9 | 360 slow motion |
| 4K (single lens) | 24, 25, 30, 50, 60 | 16:9 |  |

## Stabilization

- **FlowState 360** (strength 3/3) — Stabilized from the full sphere.

## Color profiles

- **Standard** — 10-bit
- **Vivid** — 10-bit
- **I-Log** — 10-bit, log (for grading)

## Field of view

Lens-dependent (interchangeable-lens body).

## Exposure

- ISO range: 100–6400 (recommended ceilings — bright: 400, normal: 800, low light: 3200)
- Manual shutter: yes
- Aperture: fixed f/2.0
- Built-in ND: no

## Notable

- **Shoot first, frame later** — Captures everything around you — pick the shot afterwards instead of aiming during the action.
- **Invisible selfie stick** — The stick vanishes from the footage — instant drone-style shots with no drone.
- **Replaceable lenses** — Scratched a lens? Swap it yourself instead of replacing the camera — a big deal for water and rock sports.
- **PureVideo low-light mode** — Cleans up 360 night footage, which is normally the format's weakest point.

Strengths: Reframe after shooting; Invisible stick; Replaceable lenses; 15 m waterproof.
Weaknesses: Requires a reframing workflow; Huge files; Lower per-frame sharpness than flat cameras.

> Verification note: Re-check reframed export limits against the current Insta360 app version.
