X Series: AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) and Exposure Step

Applicable Models: X4, X4 Air, X5, and X6

When AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) is enabled, the camera captures multiple images at different exposure values in succession and combines them into a single high dynamic range (HDR) photo. It is suitable for scenes with strong contrast between light and shadow where the environment is relatively static. This article provides instructions on how to enable this feature and answers to some frequently asked questions.

FAQ

1. Why does X6's AEB feature not support 7 consecutive shots at the 120MP setting?

Currently, X6's AEB feature only supports 3 or 5 consecutive shots at the 120MP setting. If you need a wider dynamic range of exposure, you can temporarily switch to the 30MP setting to capture 7 consecutive shots. We will continuously optimize our products to provide you with a better user experience. Thank you for your understanding and support!

2. Does X4's HDR Photo mode support AEB at the 72MP setting?

No, this is not currently supported. We will continuously optimize our products to provide you with a better user experience. Thank you for your understanding and support!
