I can hunt this comment if needed but thought I would skip that step and ask if anyone knows much about this...
I might understand that the images transferred to the phone for viewing may have quality or image size reduced for viewing on the phone. IQ will have been degraded.
However, surely the images on the Theta itself are not degraded.. If images are copied to the phone rather than moved, surely the image on the Theta remains unmolested... How/why would things be any other way?
There is a setting in the Theta S smartphone app for you to decide what size/quality spherical image you want to transfer via the WiFi connection. I have mine set to the original, highest quality. I think this was NOT an option in the Theta m15 or Theta360 - you only got the down-sized image if you did a WiFi transfer. But, you're right, the image on the Theta is still the original image, no matter what, and you can always plug the Theta into your computer and move the original quality images into Lightroom or wherever you do your editing.
