![]() In daylight, the pictures are quite good. An automatic HDR function is also on-board. The lenses have an f/2.0 opening which should allow them to take pictures even in poor lighting conditions. This means that pictures can be up to 30 MP. The Gear 360 has two 15 MP cameras, both of which have fisheye lenses which are capable of grabbing 180 or 360 degree shots. It takes five seconds for the live mode to start up, but once it does, various settings are available, similar to the camera App. The smartphone can be used for a Live View mode. However, during the test, there were times when only Bluetooth could be used, which led to really long transfer times. Wi-Fi Direct is particularly useful for this. Furthermore, the recordings from the smartphone and the camera are shown, so that they can easily be transferred between the two. The App provides useful information about the memory usage and battery life of the camera. The GPS functionality of the smartphone can be used for geotagging videos. Firmware updates can be performed inside the App as well. The settings of the Gear 360 can be changed in the App. We do not know why Samsung has restricted the number of devices which run this App. The Samsung website allows users to download the APK to install the App, but it cannot be opened. This App can be installed from the Google Play Store, but only on the Galaxy models (S6, S6 Edge and Edge+, S7 and S7 Edge). The Android App Samsung Gear 360 Manager allows the user to control the camera via the smartphone.
