How to set Horizon Lock?

In-camera Horizon Lock

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the camera screen to enter the shooting specification settings page, set Stabilization to a state other than "Off", adjust Ratio to any setting except 4:3, and confirm that the current shooting mode, resolution, and frame rate are within the following supported ranges:
   • Ace: Available in Video, Active HDR, Loop Recording Modes
   • Ace Pro: Available in Video and Loop Recording Modes
   • Ace Pro 2: Available in Video, Loop Recording and Dashcam Modes
   • Supported resolutions and frame rates: 4K@30/25/24fps, 2.7K@30/25/24fps, and 1080P@60/50/48/30/25/24fps

1. Before shooting, tap the "FOV" icon in the bottom right corner, then swipe down to select your desired Horizon Lock option. This will display the horizontal lock effect in real-time on the screen:
   • Ace Pro and Ace Pro 2: Select "45° Horizon Lock" or "360° Horizon Lock".
   • Ace: Select "Horizon Lock".

Please note: The Portrait Mode and Horizon Lock are mutually exclusive. If you need to use the Horizon Lock feature, please turn off the Brightening and Smoothing feature first. To do so, you can swipe right to the left edge of the camera screen to enter the parameter settings page, then tap the "Smiley Face" icon to turn them off.

Post-production Horizon Lock

The FreeFrame Video Mode supports angle presetting for Horizon Lock before shooting, and the videos can also be adjusted, viewed and exported via the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio in post-production.
