Overview
This section covers the various camera settings available on the R1 and explains how each one functions. You'll learn what each setting does, when to use it, and how it affects your images—helping you get the most out of your R1 camera.

Locating Your R1 Settings
The R1 Camera Settings can be found on the PLANIX app. Once connected to the camera you can go to Survey. Once in survey you can click on the little icon of a camera with a gear to locate the camera's settings.
What are the R1 Camera Settings?
The R1 Camera Settings consists of HDR, Noise Reduction, and Stitching
HDR (High Dynamic Range)
- Retains more details in bright and dark areas of the 360° images by merging images with different exposure settings. Toggle on to choose from the following options: High (-5EV/+2EV), Medium (-3EV/+3EV), Low (-1EV/+2EV).
- Using HDR modes will impact the scan capture speed.
- High (-5EV/+2EV) is your default setting if no changes have been made to your camera settings.
Noise Reduction
- Noise reduction captures multiple images and combines them to make a smoother final output that exceeds the performance of what the camera’s sensor can natively create.
- Toggle on to choose from the following options: High, Medium, Low.
- Turning on Noise reduction will impact the scan capture speed.
- Low noise Reduction is your default setting if no changes have been made to your camera settings.
Stitching: Static vs Dynamic
- When creating an iGUIDE 3D tour, you can choose between Static and Dynamic stitching modes. Each mode serves different purposes depending on the intended use of the tour. Below is a breakdown of the differences, use cases, and limitations of each stitching type.
- How noticeable stitching transitions are can depend on where the stitching line falls and how the space is laid out. Some panoramas may show more than others. R1 cameras use Dynamic Stitching by default to give you a smoother, more polished visual experience. If your main goal is to create a clean, client-friendly 3D tour, Dynamic is the way to go. However, if you need precise measurements Static Stitching is your better option.

Important Notes
- Please note that selecting the high HDR setting (-5EV/+2EV), as well as turning Noise Reduction to high will slow down the processing speed of the shots taken and cause a bit of a delay between taking your next shots.
