UX Rework
User Feedback addressed!
Fixed Brackets
This mode takes the same exposures each time, the schedule is defined by the Image count you select. Ranging from 1/6400 to 1/1.6 seconds.
The point of this mode is that it shoots as fast as the camera can to slow enough for most scenes.
White Balance: We don’t have access to raw so you have to pick one. Daylight is recommended as it’s closest to the native sensor data.
EV Comp
This is the “Smart” Bracket mode. It has it’s limits, especially in low light. This shoots 1 image as an auto exposure then reads the exif data to calculate what the other exposures should be. This is limited by the fact that the theta S has a minimum shutter floor for the auto exposure. A future app update is planned to have a compensation for this.
This mode is great because it let’s you define your EV range and Shot count dynamically.
Night Master
Hey my interface is all dark! Yes. Because this mode is for use in night photography and it’s not nice to knock out your night vision. This mode is very different as it’s not HDR focused. It’s for shooting great theta images in low light. I have been taking late night long exposures for years and this is build around my workflow. Ideally I want to shoot at iso 100 for the best quality and longest light streaks. However that means very long shutter times. I also want to know what exposure setting to use without having to shoot 40 and 60 second images. The way I solve this is to have buttons to quickly change the ISO without effecting the exposure. This means you can move the slider in LQ mode, hit Capture Long Exposure and see a result quickly, repeat till your happy with the results then press Med or HQ and shoot your final image. This mode saves 20+ taps in the Theta S official app.
Connect : connects to a theta camera, If your already on the Theta wifi this should happen automatically. If you get disconnected the button will try and re-connect.
Switch Camera : go back and pick the Theta m15 or Theta S
Help : That’s how you got here.
Gear Icon : Opens the settings page, that’s where the audio beep mute and volume is.
Preview Results : After you take Brackets, this button will load the very low res previews from the camera very fast and put them in one image viewer at the bottom of the app with a scrub bar. This is not a live preview, that will come in a future update.
Auto Tone Map HDR : This was added to the Theta S camera in the new firmware update, it’s an auto exposure image of -2 0 +2 EV that’s tone mapped into 1 image. It takes around 10 seconds to shoot.
