Sure! [Mapillary](https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=52.362016&lng=5.1977628&z=18.074908895890697&focus=photo&pKey=691043310236156)

Settings:  
4K non-HDR, with CPL filter installed.

HDR and 5.3K is a no go in a car, device is getting too hot.

Above is in sunny weather, I will upload today cloudy pictures.

Thank you. Maybe there are sequences with maximum-size photographs? _Soon, in a week, I will add my link to the topic._ 📷

**Thank you for providing the sequence.** I’ve found a good [place](https://www.mapillary.com/app/user/thewizard?lat=52.347125199999994&lng=4.824001100000032&z=17&pKey=1210423113511895&focus=photo) in your downloads to understand readability in different black-and-white conditions. **The originals are not needed.** Then we need to see how Mapillary corrects the distortion and how the quality changes.

Thank you for sharing your examples. They look promising for the HERO 13 Black. Although that 8:7 aspect ratio is unorthodox, the resolution does its job. I like the fact that you can clearly read even rather small house numbers.

Could you please do a 2 fps time lapse run with a linear lens and a more standard aspect ratio, like 4:3, 3:2, or 16:9?

I haven’t figured out how to make a timelapse in photo mode with a resolution other than 8:7. 🙂

Can you do linear lens (no fish-eye)?

I can use fisheye correction, but the frame size will still be 8:7.

In photo mode the only options are Linear and Wide, bit strange, on my Hero 9 is also Narrow an option. But the software is different, Timelapse can be video or photo on the Hero 9, on the 13 you have to use the photo option.

Yeah, I would like to see HERO 13 Black’s linear lens time lapse mode images.

☹ GoPro’s firmware is indeed all over the place. For example, the MAX has linear lens support in video mode only! Nobody knows why? With HyperSmooth disabled the resolution does not increase to full sensor resolution. In fact, no mode gives you full resolution, _except_ for the 360° mode, which could be considered only a workaround in this sense. You cannot lock exposure time in time lapse mode, white balance lock does not work, and the two sensors are not exposure synced in 360° mode. 👎 Who authorizes such stuff? No QA, I guess. Pathetic…

I’ll film the next trip in distortion compensation mode.  
I consider 1 second to be the optimal frequency for my method of movement.

Does the wide lens mode really impact image quality, or otherwise what’s the value? Except if you plan to use it in some non mapillary scenario that doesn’t have fisheye correction in post

Today I was [shooting](https://www.mapillary.com/app/user/PesDyuck?lat=52.3950542&lng=23.7677781&z=17&pKey=1215957310228220&focus=photo) with a linear profile lens. I don’t like. I will use a wide angle as the main camera angle.
