FAQ

1. Why can't I turn PureShot on or off for photos captured with X5, X4 Air, or X4 in the PureShot Mode after importing them into the Insta360 app?

These cameras use a new chipset that completes the PureShot image processing instantly at the time of shooting, eliminating the need for additional processing via the Insta360 app. Therefore, for such processed photos, the option to turn this feature on/off within the Insta360 app is grayed out by default and cannot be tapped.

2. What are the differences between INSP, INSP+RAW, PureShot, and PureShot+RAW Modes?

Model	Supported Modes and Descriptions
X6, X5, and X4 Air	PureShot: Saves INSP photos optimized with noise reduction and other processing, with the PureShot effect applied directly in-camera. PureShot+RAW: Saves INSP photos optimized with noise reduction and other processing, along with uncompressed raw photos in DNG format. In this mode, the INSP photos have the PureShot effects applied directly in-camera.
X4	INSP: Only saves INSP photos, offering the fastest camera file saving speed. PureShot: Saves INSP photos optimized with noise reduction and other processing, with the PureShot effect applied directly in-camera. PureShot+RAW: Saves INSP photos optimized with noise reduction and other processing, along with uncompressed raw photos in the DNG format.

You can apply the PureShot algorithm later in the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio to enhance image quality. Compared with INSP+RAW, PureShot utilizes a smarter, next-generation algorithm.

Please note:

• INSP photos can be exported as JPG images via the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio.
• DNG photos can be exported as DNG images via Insta360 Studio (Insta360 app does not currently support this feature).

3. Why do PureShot photos captured with X3 appear black and white when previewed in the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio, and why do DNG photos appear purple?

When the PureShot format is used on an X3 camera, the preview image will appear black and white. Colors will be restored only after the PureShot algorithm is applied in post-production within the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio. This is normal, and you can use the camera with confidence. DNG photos will appear purple and cannot be restored.

4. How do I enable PureShot in Insta360 Studio?

When you import photos into Insta360 Studio, the PureShot feature is automatically enabled by default; you can choose to disable it if you wish.
