When it comes to photo mode, the maximum resolution is 6080×3040 (2:1) in the 360 mode. The camera can capture photos either in JPEG or DNG RAW. When it comes to video mode, the files are captured either in INSV format (360 mode) or in MP4 (Steady Cam mode). The codec is either H.264 or H.265 with a maximum bitrate of 100Mbps, and color profiles can be either Vivid, Standard, or LOG.
One of the most visible improvements is the addition of the bright rounded display. It offers touch screen operation and enables users to monitor the framing (in certain modes if necessary). Another improvement is a larger battery. The Insta360 ONE X2 incorporates a 1630mAh battery that provides up to 80minutes of shooting (in 5.7K 30p).
With four built-in microphones and a new smart wind-reduction, the audio capture got improved as well. You can select between stereo or ambisonic sound capture. The camera can be voice-controlled and it can even communicate with AirPods (control the camera or record audio).
Shot Lab is Insta360’s desktop application that hosts a collection of one-tap templates to automatically create edits from the given Insta360 footage. There are templates like Dolly Zoom, Stop Motion, Clone Trail, Shadow Clone, Ghost Town (creates an unobstructed photo without people from a captured timelapse), and more. The Auto Frame feature automatically reframes any 360 shot to include the desired action.
