 icon to 

navigate to the “Capture Settings” screen. 

HDR (exposure settings)

: For HDR the default is Off or you can 

select Auto or HDR 3. In Auto mode, iSTAR will calculate the correct 
exposure range (EV) for the environment. In HDR 3 mode, iSTAR 
will capture three exposures. 

Countdown Timer: 

Tap the Countdown timer button to select the 

capture delay time. (Options: 5, 10, 30 seconds, 1, 5 minutes)

TimeLapse settings

From the main Capture Settings menu, press the 

 icon to 

navigate to the “TimeLapse Settings” screen. 

Use the arrows onscreen to set the time delay in between images 
captured. For example setting the time delay to 00:02:00 will 
capture an image every two minutes. TimeLapse can capture a 
sequence in single and HDR exposures.

From the main Settings menu, press the 

 icon to navigate to

Image settings

From the main Capture Settings menu, press the 

 icon to 

navigate to the “Image Settings” screen. 

ISO

: By default the ISO is set to 400. The range is ISO 100 to 

25,600 - set according to conditions. Lower settings require 
longer exposures but give higher quality results. Higher settings 
require shorter exposure times but give lower quality results.

Exposure

: There are five exposure options:

Outdoors:

 Use when capturing exterior scenes. Exposure is 

calculated by averaging the overall lighting from all 4 lenses.

Indoors: 

Use when capturing interior scenes. Exposure is 

calculated by averaging the overall lighting from all 4 lenses.

Front Outdoors: 

Use when capturing exterior scenes, but 

where exposure is critical in one direction. Similar to “spot 
metering” exposure is calculated by pointing the “front lens” 
towards the object of interest. Exposure is calculated from the 
front lens only.

Front Indoors: 

Use when capturing interior scenes, but where 

exposure is critical in one direction. Similar to “spot metering” 
exposure is calculated by pointing the “front lens” towards the 
object of interest. Exposure is calculated from the front lens 
only.

Manual: 

This allows you to set the shutter speed manually as 

required (range 120s to 1/8000).

Colour Balance Levels

: By default the colour balance is set to 

Red: 100%, Green: 100% and Blue: 100%. Tap the colour buttons to 
change the percentage settings.
