360° Shooting Tips
X5 captures 360° video by stitching together footage from its two fisheye lenses. For best results, make sure one of the lenses is facing you when shooting, and avoid standing too close to the side of the camera.

| Video | Record 360° videos in up to 8K30fps. |
| PureVideo | PureVideo improves image quality in low light environments. |
| InstaFrame | Simultaneously capture an auto-framed flat video and a 360° video. Note, Gesture Control is not supported in this mode. |
| Timelapse | Suitable for shooting static timelapse videos. |
| TimeShift | Take a hyperlapse (sped-up) video while moving. |
| Bullet Time | Slow-motion video with 360º overhead rotation. |
| Loop Recording | Record continuously and save only the last fixed-length segment. |
| Road Mode | Loop recording within a certain storage space, overwriting the earliest recording when the space is full. |
| Starlapse | Shoot and store multiple photos and automatically combine Starlapse effects. |
| Burst Photos | Take multiple photos in a short space of time. |
| Interval | The camera automatically takes continuous photos at a specific time interval. |
| Photo | Take a single photo. |

Is it normal for the camera to get warm while shooting?
When shooting in 8K resolution, the camera uses a lot processing power, so it's normal for the body to warm up. You can try the following to reduce power consumption, extend battery life, and improve your shooting experience:

Swipe left from the right edge of the touchscreen to see the shooting parameter settings.
| Parameter Settings | Description |
|---|---|
| Shutter Speed: | Controls the time it takes for light to enter the camera. The faster the shutter speed, the clearer the image. Make this higher for dynamic shots and lower for low light conditions. |
| Sensitivity (ISO) | Reflects how sensitive the sensor is to light. A higher sensitivity means the camera can capture more light for a brighter image. |
| Exposure Compensation Value (EV) | In Auto Mode, you can adjust the EV to help with overexposure or underexposure. |
| White Balance (WB) | Removes unrealistic colors and tones so colors are accurately captured in the image. A higher white balance produces warmer tones, lower results in cooler tones. |
| Jitter Blur Reduction | Improves motion blur and stabilization in low light environments. In extreme environments, the image will be darker and may have some flickering. |
| Filters | Add different color tones and effects. |
| Balanced Exposure | The screen will automatically equalize the exposure according to the environment. |
| I-Log | Professional color profile, captures more detail and provides more scope for color grading in post-production. |
| Metering Mode | Face Priority prioritizes the face for brightness. Matrix ensures accurate exposure of the whole image. |
| Low Light Enhancement | Allows clearer and more stable footage up to 5.7K30fps. In bright environments, turn this off for better battery life. |
360° Mode and Single-Lens Mode support different parameters in different shooting modes.
