You mean where the two circles are visible? ---

Ok, I will look into that tomorrow ---

The 033 image comes from an INSP file (52 MB). The saturation is already within file without any further edits. The RAW file (DNG; 129 MB) comes without any further pre-process in saturation etc. Hope, that helps! ![Screenshot 2026-10-08 175837](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/mapillary/original/3X/a/f/afba9c4f400b4340335f362872ced6bd6dd812d8.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-10-08 175106cens](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/mapillary/original/3X/1/6/16d877e297763d771d5d0e69a416e6df17ba19c0.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-10-08 175236](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/mapillary/original/3X/6/8/685d5e32366001e1121181d849c60ec54a2e8190.jpeg) ---

> 15,520px × 7,760px ≅ 120 MP @boris Please update [How can I upload imagery to Mapillary? – Mapillary](https://help.mapillary.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001472029-How-can-I-upload-imagery-to-Mapillary) to reflect the true resolution limit. [Insta360 X Series – Mapillary](https://help.mapillary.com/hc/en-us/articles/11951588568604-Insta360-X-Series) may need some updates too. 😉 While at it, I wish MapillaryJS would also finally solve [[🐛] Zoom‑in limited by maximum texture size](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/zoom-in-limited-by-maximum-texture-size/7843) and [Why does the view get blurry on Mapillary at higher zoom levels?](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/why-does-the-view-get-blurry-on-mapillary-at-higher-zoom-levels/8387), although I do understand that it adds complexity to rendering code. But, this code path would only run in canvases where `GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE` is smaller than any image dimension. Afaict the overall performance impact should remain negligible. Watch out for (_silent_) `GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY` though! ---

Done, I’ve updated to reference the 200MP resolution limit - let me know if there are other things you see that need updating - thanks @GITNE ! ---

Unfortunately, the interval mode is slower when „3 sec“ is set. It’s more like processing time AND 3 sec, which is effectively 8 seconds ---

Indeed, the actual interval when set to 3 seconds in my case is between 8 and 9 seconds. I’ve contacted Insta360 about it - the least they could do (in my opinion) is tweak the firmware to 0 seconds so the actual interval would be pure processing time, between 5 and 6 seconds. So far, I haven’t gotten a response even though there have been a couple of firmware updates since. - And yes, in Timelapse video mode the maximum resolution is 8000 x 4000. ---

> [@boris](#): > > Done, I’ve updated to reference the 200MP resolution limit Great! 👍 Thank you! 200 MP should practically suffice forever because afaik Google Maps has played with different 360° resolutions and they concluded that ~100 MP is like a natural barrier above which one does not gain much additional information in the street mapping scenario. I think they finally settled on 134 MP ≈ 16,384 px × 8,192 px. > [@boris](#): > > let me know if there are other things you see that need updating Please also update and document other important limits: - 110 GB video file size (as per Desktop Upload release notes) - 50 MB image file size limit (traditionally, although not officially documented) - 100 GB total sequence size (traditionally, although not officially documented) These are mostly important for organizational contributors. 😉 ---

The 16K optical resolution limit is interesting. I think it’s realistic, as larger sensors than MFT would cause depth of field issues. I don’t know about the other limits, but afaik I uploaded \>50 MB images without problems. [Previous page](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/experience-with-insta360-x6/10629.md?page=1)
