1. High-quality, 360 degree still images are captured with a
large sensor and a unique lens
-Equipped with a 1.0-inch back-illuminated CMOS image sensor,
which is the largest 360 degree consumer camera. This camera uses
two sensors, each with 20MP (approx.) to capture high-definition
360 degree 23MP (approx.) still images. In addition, it supports
high-sensitivity shooting up to ISO 6400, which is an advantage
for shooting at night or in a dimly lit room. Ricoh's original
three-fold structure technology is used for the lens unit to
achieve a body that’s only 24 mm thin, whilst increasing the size
of the image sensor.
-Equipped with a multi-stage aperture mechanism, the F value can
be selected from either F2.1, F3.5 or F5.6. In brightly lit
areas, narrowing down the aperture will improve the resolution of
the surrounding area. Furthermore, the newly designed lens unit
effectively suppresses ghosting, flares, and purple fringing that
can affect the image.
2. High-performance image processing with the latest algorithm
and various shooting modes
-The latest image processing algorithm provides low-noise,
high-resolution images throughout the sensitivity range. In
addition, DR (Dynamic Range) correction is automatically adjusted
during shooting to effectively suppress overexposure, even
outdoors where there can be a huge variance between brightly lit
areas and shadow. In addition, this model is equipped with
various shooting modes such as ""HDR composition"" and ""interval
composition"" allowing for star trails to be captured, as well as
""multi-bracket shooting"" that shoots continuously with up to 19
settings.
3. High-quality (4K equivalent) 360 degree movies using the
latest image stabilization technology
-When shooting movies, the 3-axis rotation correction provides
high image stabilization performance. It is possible to shoot
high-definition, smooth 360 degree movies at 30 fps
(frames/second) at 3840 x 1920 pixels, which is equivalent to 4K.
In addition, Av (Aperture Priority), Tv (Shutter Priority), ISO
(ISO Sensitivity Priority Auto Exposure), and M (Manual) can be
selected as the exposure settings, enabling movie shooting with
more detailed settings.
-The camera body has a built-in 4ch microphone that supports 360
degree spatial audio , and by audio in all
directions including not only the horizontal direction but also
the vertical direction, the sound and image as it is in the
shooting environment. It is possible to reproduce. You can enjoy
creating VR video content with a sense of realism and watching
videos on a large monitor more realistically.
4. Easy-to-understand UI (user interface)
-Equipped with a 0.93-inch EL (OLED) panel that displays
shooting information at the bottom of the camera. This allows you
to directly check shooting information such as battery level,
shooting mode, remaining number of s, F value and ISO
sensitivity value at a glance.
-The Fn (function) button at the bottom of the side of the
camera switches the display between ""normal shooting"" and
""self-timer"", 3 types of plug-ins, and switches to off/mute
mode.
-You can save the shooting modes from your as ""My
Settings"" in the camera body (one for images and one for video).
5. Supports RAW file format to improve editing control
-In addition to JPEG format, it is possible to save in RAW
(Adobe DNG format) JPEG format. As a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom Classic, we provide the st app “RICOH THETA
Stitcher” free of charge. After developing a file recorded in
RAW, you can generate a spherical image with no visible seams
with a plug-in. You can freely change the details of zenith
correction, orientation correction, and distance specification
during st. You can enjoy full-scale editing of color and
image quality like an DSLR camera.
6. Various sharing methods
-The 360 degree spherical image taken can be posted directly to
Facebook or LINE, or uploaded to the dedicated website -
theta360.com and shared on social media sites such as Twitter,
Instagram, and Tumblr. can do. You can also post spherical images
on YouTube's 360 degree channel and Google s .
-Equipped with a 360 degree video ""remote playback function""
as a plug-in. By using a general-purpose receiving device such as
a compatible wireless display adapter to transfer and mirror the
360 degree still image and video data recorded in the camera, you
can create a powerful 360 degree image on a large display or
projector. You can project it and operate it on the camera body
to enjoy it.
7. Robust and luxurious design
-The body material is a lightweight and highly robust magnesium
alloy. While ensuring rigidity that can withstand harsh use, the
surface is textured to give it a luxurious texture suitable for
the top end models.
-A metal tripod screw hole is used for use in harsher
environments. In addition, the connector for external connection
uses the next-generation standard USB 3.0 (Type-C), achieving a
more efficient transfer speed. Since the shape is vertically
symmetrical, it can be inserted in either direction.
8. Excellent extensibility with updates and plug-ins
-Adopts ""Qualcomm Snapdragon TM"" and Android-based operating
system for the main unit. It is possible to continuously expand
functions and improve performance by updating the firmware.
-You can use various extended functions by installing various
plug-ins. In addition to Ricoh's genuine plug-ins, we are also
building an environment where plug-ins released by general
developers can be added and used through the ""RICOH THETA
Plug-in Partner Program.""
-Use of some plug-ins that operate in client mode-Development of
plug-ins
9. Others
-The capacity of the built-in memory has been greatly increased,
and about 6350 still images (JPEG) can be taken.
-The fastest shutter speed of 1/25000 seconds is possible.
- You can edit still images and export data for printing with the
THETA app.
-Dual communication with Bluetooth & wireless LAN
-You can easily connect wirelessly with a dedicated app for
s.
- With approximately 2.7 times larger capacity than the previous model. 51gb of internal memory allows for approximately 6350 JPEG still images, 900 RAW plus still images and 110 minutes for 4K video to be captured..
- Two 1" type back-illuminated CMOS sensor and a newly developed lens unit suppress ghosting, flare and fringing to capture the highest image quality in a Theta series camera..
- Natural 360° images can be captured at 23MP resolution (approximately, 6720 x 3360, 7K) taking advantage of a high-precision st process..
