RICOH THETA X 360-Degree Camera

Large User-Friendly 2.25-Inch Touch Screen Display

The large, user-friendly 2.25-inch touch screen display significantly improves operability. Preview the scene before image capture, adjust shooting settings, and view images you have taken on the touch panel without having to connect to a smartphone.

High-Resolution 360-Degree Still Image and Video Capture

The CMOS image sensor, main processor, and lens design have all been renewed. Incorporating a new sensor with approximately 48MP, it is now possible to capture high-resolution 360-degree still images with a maximum output of approximately 60MP. Two image sizes are available to match the scene: 11K for high-resolution bright-light indoor photography, and 5.5K to capture images easily and efficiently in other scenarios. In addition, enhanced image stabilization realizes vivid and smooth shooting for 360-degree videos to be captured at a 5.7K-equivalent resolution of 5760 × 2880 pixels at 30 frames per second (fps).

Ability to Switch Battery and Memory Cards

For the first time in the RICOH THETA series, the THETA X is powered by an interchangeable battery (Rechargeable Battery DB-110). Plus, in addition to the 46GB internal memory, storage capacity can be increased with the use of an external microSDXC memory card. Even when shooting long hours or capturing many images, users can continue shooting without worrying about the remaining battery levels or storage capacity.KEY_TAB

Increased Compatibility with Smartphone

The THETA X can easily make a wireless connection to a smartphone without the need to enter an SSID by establishing a Bluetooth connection. Incorporated MIMO wireless communication technologies and real-time processing, such as top/bottom correction while shooting videos, makes it possible to transfer still images and videos from the camera to a smartphone at higher speeds

Improved Expandability of the Camera

Like the THETA V and THETA Z1, the THETA X utilizes an Android-based OS, allowing third-party developers to develop and release applications (plug-ins) to expand the function of the camera. Additionally, the cameras large touch screen display significantly extends the scope for plug-in development. It is now also possible to easily set up the 'client mode' (a mode used to directly connect the RICOH THETA to a wireless router) without using a smartphone. This allows plug-ins to be installed and firmware to be updated simply by operating the THETA X itself without using a computer or smartphone, making it easy to expand functions to suit the user's needs.
