Ricoh Theta SC2 360 Degree Panorama

The Ricoh Theta SC2 has the same compact design and ease of use, making it the perfect model for the 360 enthusiast. Don't let the compact design deceive you, the Theta SC2 takes photos at approximately 14 megapixels and 360 degree video at 30 frames per second in 4k (3840 x 1920).

New to the Theta SC2 is the variety of shooting modes, like "Face" mode, which recognizes human faces and applies skin smoothing, and "Night View" mode for shooting low-noise footage after the sun goes down.

Finding out how much battery is left is easier than ever with the new OLED display. At a glance you can check battery power, setting modes and your wifi connection. The new Self-timer button allows for great shots.

• 14MP 360-degree Photos
• 4K 360-degree Videos
• 1/2.3-inch Image Sensor x 2
• OLED Display

360 degrees makes it real:

• 1/2.3 CMOS sensor (x2), 14 MP
• 4K compatible high resolution 360-degree video
• 14 GB Internal memory
• OLED display (Organic EL display) and dedicated button for self-timer mode
• Bluetooth and wireless LAN dual communication

Shooting Modes:

• Theta SC2 is equipped with a range of preset modes that delivery the perfect footage for specific subjects and shooting scenarios. Also an all new underwater* mode, that allows the user to adjust to the ideal white balance when shooting underwater has been added.
• *a dedicated underwater housing, like the TW-1 , is required when shooting underwater.

Face Mode:

• A mode that detects human faces and automatically places them at the center of the image. This mode is also using exposure compensation and noise reduction to apply skin smoothing.

Night view:

• A mode that utilizes dynamic range compensation and noise reduction through image compositing to deliver beautiful night-time shots.

Lens-by-Lens Exposure:

• A mode that controls two lenses individually to provide clear, bright footage of subjects in scenarios where there are significant variations in brightness levels, such as inside and outside vehicle, or on a stage.

Easy-to-Understand Camera Design and Interface:

• The lower half and side of the THETA SC2 is where all of the camera user interface happens. The shutter release button and OLED display are both on the front of the camera. On the side of the camera you will find the Power, Wi-Fi, Mode and Self-timer buttons.

Dual Communication and High-Speed Data Transfer:

• The THETA SC2 can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Improvements to ease of use have also been made. Smartphones can now be used for shooting with just a Bluetooth® connection, and when the camera has entered the sleep state, it can be powered on from the basic app. With a wireless LAN connection, all functions can be used, including live view display and image transfer on a smartphone, which can be used separately as appropriate to the shooting circumstances.
• The process has been changed such that the "top/bottom" correction is performed when videos are played back instead of when data is transferred, making the video transfer rate approximately 4x faster than the previous Ricoh Theta SC model.
• **Actual measured value compared with RICOH THETA SC when transferring identical amounts of data to iOS devices. According to Ricoh research.
