The device comes with a standard 4K, 12-megapixel camera with a 1/2.3-inch sensor and a 94-degree field-of-view lens.
To trigger it, just use the little button on the Osmo to show it where you want your pic to focus. The Osmo will rotate and it will grab images as it spins around, while maintaining a steady level. The home-bred app also let’s you switch between device modes and even send the Osmo commands. Don’t just get a snapshot of a piece of your travels.
