Time Shift Mode vs. Single Image Mode

Time Shift Mode

Use Time Shift Mode for your average rooms, such as kitchens, dining rooms, living areas, etc:

Time Shift Mode is going to take two separate photos using the front lens (the side of the camera that doesn't have the Wi-Fi screen) first.

After the first shot is taken with the front-facing lens, the back lens will shoot after the delay set in the “The back lens shoots in” is reached (the default is 5 seconds):

• The reason this delay is set on our shooting modes is to allow you, as the camera operator, to move to the opposite side of the camera prior to the next shot being taken by the back lens.
• You will want to be opposite the side of the camera that is taking the shots to avoid being part of the shot and blocking parts of the room.

When you press "Start shooting" in Time Shift Mode, the camera will first take a photo using the front lens:

• The camera operator should stand behind this lens when it shoots.
• The lens on the front of the camera will show a countdown to the shot being taken.
• The camera will chirp as it is taking these shots.
• After the front lens completes its process, simply walk to the other side of the camera, in front of the LED screen in order to stay out of the back lens shot.
• The camera will automatically shoot with the back-facing lens as it builds that 360-degree view of the room.
• If you find you need more time to prepare, note that the times you have to prepare for the shots can be adjusted.

Single Image Mode

Single Image Mode is recommended for smaller rooms where you may have difficulty getting out of the way of the camera:

In Single Image Mode, your camera is going to shoot both lenses simultaneously:

• The camera operator should be standing outside of the room when shooting with Single Image Mode, but close enough that your mobile device does not lose touch with the camera — within 6-8'.
