TIPS FOR CAPTURING WITH FUSION TIPS FOR CAPTURING WITH FUSION
If you are new to ca pturing sp herica l content, be low are som e tips to help
you get the be st results fro m Fusion.
• Fusion ca ptures ever ything a round you, re gardle ss of where the
camera is pointed. However, for best results, aim one of the lenses
directly at the main sub ject.
• OverCapture lets you capture content in all directions from a s ingle
point of view. So, you do not need as many cameras to ens ure that
you get the shot. And you ca n select th e content that i s impor tant to
you after you ca pture.
• For the best results, at tach Fusion to the mou nts that came with the
camera. Using the m ounts moves th e camera away from your ha nd
and help s reduce th e chance s that your ha nd appe ars in the sh ot.
• When usin g Fusion a s a handhe ld came ra without a m ount, group
most of your ngers un dernea th the came ra near the m ounting
ngers . This pla cement re duces th e chance that your hand appears
in the shot:
22 23
• For more co ntrol durin g editing, capture wit h Protune turned on.
• To prevent additional work during editing, do not re st Fusion o n its
side when c apturin g.
• Keep editi ng in mind w hen you are c apturing w ith Fusion . For
example, re membe r to hide your self and yo ur suppo rting m ounts and
equipm ent somewh ere that is ea sily ble nded during editing.
WARNI NG: The dual lenses of Fusion are unprotected and
are susce ptible to sc ratches, if n ot cared fo r properly. Always
store Fusion with the provided lens protection and avoid
resting the lens on any s urface. S cratches to the lens are n ot
covered by th e warranty.
