  • Howell warned you won't get the highest speeds from generic chargers because proprietary hardware is needed.

Horizon Lock Uses 8K To Stabilize 4K Video

  • Horizon Lock leverages an 8K sensor to crop and stabilize 4K video, keeping the horizon steady and enabling auto-framing.
  • Howell called it a magical creator feature that makes shaky handheld footage much smoother by using an 8K canvas.
ADVICE

Turn Off Privacy Display At Home

  • Avoid leaving Privacy Display on in controlled environments because it narrows viewing angles and can hide content unexpectedly.
  • Howell recommends turning it off at home or on a table to avoid moments when you can't see the time or notifications.
