Key Insights

Key Advantages: HDR vs SDR

In SDR format, shadow areas often appear completely black. With HDR in Ray 3, details in shadows and light reflections on water remain clear and rich in detail.

Motion Quality

The Ray 3 model is known for its heavy use of 'motion.' For example, an 'orbit' camera effect around a subject looks much smoother and more professional compared to previous models.

Character Consistency Tips

This model features a high level of character consistency, making it perfect for shots involving people or objects that need to maintain a stable look throughout the video.
