Along with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, Samsung had unveiled its first consumer-grade 360-degree camera, the Gear 360. The device comes with dual 15-megapixel camera sensors with 180-degree fisheye lenses and they work in tandem to shoot 360-degree still images and videos. However, it could be confusing for a user to setup and use a 360-degree camera since it is a fairly new concept, so Samsung has released a step-by-step tutorial that helps users in getting started with the Gear 360.

The tutorial explains how to connect the Gear 360 to a compatible Galaxy device using the Samsung Gear 360 Manager app from the Galaxy Apps store. After the camera is connected to the app on your Galaxy device, it can be used to click 360-degree still images, 360-degree videos, 360-degree time lapse videos, and 360-degree looping videos using the dedicated physical button. The camera can also shoot 180-degree wide-angle images or videos using either the front-facing or the rear-facing camera.

After capturing perfect 360-degree memories, they can be viewed on a mobile device or edited using the Gear 360 Action Director app on the desktop. Images and videos can be directly shared on social media websites using a Galaxy smartphone. It's a fairly simple process which you can also see in the video that was released a couple of weeks ago. Hit the source link to read the complete step-by-step tutorial.
