Snapshot Mode: Capturing Stills from 360 Pano images

Snapshot Mode lets you frame and capture still images directly from your 360° panoramas and add them to a property's gallery. It's the fastest way to pull listing-ready photos out of a pano without leaving the iGUIDE Portal.

Snapshot Mode is built for two main jobs:

• Documenting damage or other property details from a pano for an insurance claim or report
• Pulling gallery photos for an MLS listing or a social media post from a pano you've already captured

How to Use Snapshot Mode

Snapshot Mode is available from the Gallery page in the iGUIDE Portal. 

1. Open the property's gallery in the iGUIDE Portal.
2. Choose your Field of View, and enable "Grid Mode" if desired
3. Drag to reposition the framing of the pano image
4. Click "Take Snapshot". A short animation confirms the still has been added to the gallery.

If a capture comes out misaligned, re-open the pano in Snapshot Mode and capture again. The original pano isn't affected.
