Photo Shots
The ATOM 2’s camera provides multiple photography modes, ensuring that you can tailor every shot to your desired effect. Simply tap the shooting mode button in the app and select Photo to explore various modes:
- Single Shot – Standard high-quality stills.

Adjusting Camera Settings
The ATOM 2 provides Auto and Manual modes to fine-tune image quality:
- Auto Mode:
-
- Choose the photo format (JPG or JPG+RAW).
- Set the aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, or 4:3).
- Adjust the exposure value (EV) for balanced brightness.
- Monitor remaining storage or available photo count.
-
Manual Mode:
- Adjust white balance (WB) for accurate color representation.
- Control shutter speed (SS) for motion effects:
- Slower shutter speed (e.g., 1/30s) for enhanced light capture.
- Faster shutter speed (e.g., 1/1000s) to freeze motion.
- Modify ISO settings based on lighting conditions:
- Lower ISO (100-200) for sharp, noise-free images.
- Higher ISO for better low-light performance (with possible noise increase).
Once you capture your photos, preview them in the Album section. You can also apply a photo stamp for a customized touch before saving.

Adjusting Video Settings
Just like in photography, you can switch between Auto and Manual modes to refine your video output.

- Adjust video resolution and frame rate:
- Higher resolution (e.g., 4K) for ultra-clear videos.
- Adjust frame rates for smooth motion capture.
- Modify exposure value (EV) to balance brightness.
-
Manual Mode:
- Fine-tune white balance (WB) for natural colors.
- Adjust shutter speed (SS) for different motion effects:
- Slower shutter speed introduces motion blur for cinematic visuals.
- Faster shutter speed sharpens motion but can make footage look rigid.
- Control ISO settings for optimal brightness:
- Lower ISO (100-200) for better detail in well-lit conditions.
- Higher ISO for brighter footage in dim settings (but may introduce noise).
Record your videos effortlessly, then preview and edit them in the Album section.
