theta SC Ricoh

A slim and sleek device for creating 360° spherical images, RICOH white Theta SC records still images and Full HD 1080p30 video. The unique dual-lens design makes use of two 12MP 1/2.3" sensors, which emit 14.4MP still images and support a full sensitivity range of ISO 100-1600 to work in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Auto exposure control is available for both still images and video recording; however, manual exposure control can be used in photo mode to select shutter speeds of up to 1/8000 sec. or up to 1 min. In addition, HDR Composite and Dynamic Range Compensation allow for a wider dynamic range to enhance retaining the details of highlights and shadows, an auto-timer mode can be used for creative selfies, and interval shooting is possible for making time-lapse sequences.

In addition to image processing capabilities, Theta SC also has enhanced sharing capabilities, including the ability to wirelessly share movies and photos on a mobile device for online publishing. The built-in Wi-Fi also allows for live remote viewing and adjusting camera settings from your smartphone or tablet. Theta SC also has an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery, as well as 8GB of storage for saving images.
