Nvidia Ansel UE4 plugin
Oh how I love Ansel.
Every few months I come back to it to have a play, take some more stereo 360 environment shots and keep tinkering with it.
The following documentation has helped incredibly and hopefully will help you too!

The following console variables are available for configuring the behavior of the NVIDIA Ansel Photography Plugin and can be set manually from the console, through your .ini files, or dynamically by a Blueprint. Most of them should be configured during development instead of at runtime, though
r.Photography.Available (Read-only) If 1, the photography system is potentially available to the user. Otherwise, a functioning back-end is not available. This is set to 1 when the plugin is enabled.
r.Photography.AllowIf 1, allows a photography session to potentially be started by the player. Set this dynamically to permit or forbid photography per-level, per-cutscene, etc.
r.Photography.AllowHighQualityIf 1, Ansel is permitted to temporarily raise quality levels during photography (if also requested by the player from the Ansel UI via the 'High Quality' setting).
r.Photography.EnableMultipart
If 1, allow the photography system to take high-resolution shots that need to be rendered in tiles which are later stitched together.
r.Photography.SettleFramesThe number of frames to let the rendering 'settle' before taking a photo. Useful to allow temporal AA/smoothing to work well; if not using any temporal effects, can be lowered for faster capture.
r.Photography.TranslationSpeed
Normal speed (in Unreal units per second) at which to move the roaming photography camera.
r.Photography.Constrain.CameraSizeRadius (in Unreal Units) of sphere around the camera; used to prevent the camera clipping into nearby geometry when constraining camera with collision. <0 disables camera collision.
r.Photography.Constrain.CameraDistance
Maximum distance (in Unreal Units) which camera is allowed to wander from its initial position when constraining camera by distance. <0 disables distance constraint.
r.Photography.AutoPostprocess
If 1, the photography system will attempt to automatically disable HUD, subtitles, and some standard postprocessing effects during photography sessions/captures which are known to give poor photography results. Set to 0 to manage all postprocessing tweaks manually from the PlayerCameraManager Blueprint callbacks.
r.Photography.AutoPause
If 1, the photography system will attempt to ensure that the level is paused while in photography mode. Set to 0 to manage pausing and unpausing manually from the PlayerCameraManager Blueprint callbacks.
