The number of images and time are guides based on Ricoh’s measurement method and measured with the firmware version 1.20.0. The actual number differs according to the usage conditions. I’ve been using the Z1 for a few years and can confirm that the larger sensors do make a difference. I’ve been able to shoot astrophotography with the Z1 as well as very attractive indoor shots that have excellent colour and dynamic range. We will test the THETA X API and compare it to the Z1 and SC2 API support. Previously, we produced an article on SC2 WebAPI Differences. RICOH THETA X Firmware Update

Built-in GPS. Photos can be geotagged, which helps when you upload them to Google Street View or virtual tour software. Cameras with serial number starting from “YR13” can now use the W58 frequency range in the wireless LAN client mode. More interesting to photographers and anyone wanting to create immersive 360º photos is its ability to shoot still images 11,008 x 5,504 pixels. That’s 11K resolution or 60.5 megapixels. For 360º cameras that’s a game-changer.Stabilization is not as good as other 360 cameras. It can’t correct for vibrations. If you want great stabilization, look instead at the Insta360 One X2 or One R or GoPro MAX or Qoocam 8K if you can find it. The hashtag #theta360 can now be added from "theta360.com" – "SNS Share" in the menu when posting images to social networking services.

The Ricoh Theta X is in many ways the best Ricoh Theta camera ever made. The addition of a large screen, removable battery, MicroSD Slot and faster wifi transfer are well overdue but represent a huge boost in user friendliness. The Theta Z1 is an easy choice if you want the best quality in terms of visual appeal, which I admit for many is still more important. It may be the case that the Theta X is updated via software to include a RAW mode in the future, in which case it would become by far the better option. Other Features The “power saving priority” mode has been added as a default setting to reduce power consumption during wireless connection. To make the camera operate as before, select the “speed priority” mode in the new “wireless connection setting” function. Selecting the “power saving priority” mode makes the continuous operation time longer, and selecting the “speed priority” mode makes the image transfer speed faster. The camera must be restarted to change this setting.

The Holy Grail of 360 cameras

It is now possible to correct rotational shake when converting video shot using the RICOHTHETA m15, S and SC. The Theta X has 43GB of internal memory and up to 265GB microSD card slot which could last dozens of shoots before it gets full. The Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime components (version 14.0 or later) are required for video conversion. If the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime is not installed, the installer will be displayed automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to install it. You’ll also find the Theta X has better stabilization than the Z1, allowing you to shoot 360 video while moving. Although overall the video capabilities of the Theta X outclass the Z1 it’s not professional class. Design For photos, it has HDR but the HDR has no anti-ghosting algorithm. So if the camera is moving a bit, you’ll see ghosting in your photo.

On the screen you can also control detailed shooting settings, cutting out the need for the smartphone app. Plus, with TFT colour and auto-brightness adjustment, the touchscreen panel brings your 360º creations to life in whole a new way.

Theta X Specifications

Operating Plug-ins with the Camera Operating Plug-ins from the Smartphone Operating Plug-ins from the Computer• + Developing Plug-ins The “Auto switching to live streaming” function was added. It is possible to select “On” or “Off” for this function. If this function is set to “On”, the camera automatically enters live streaming mode when the camera with the shooting screen displayed is connected to a computer with a USB cable. This function is set to “Off” by default. There are a few different modes to choose from when shooting 360 photos with the Theta X. In my opinion the best option by far is the Auto-HDR mode, which automatically combines several exposures into a single image. The resulting image is considerably higher quality than a single exposure. The announcement indicates that the new camera runs Android OS and will allow third-party developers to release plug-ins for the camera. This is very exciting because the ability to control plug-ins from the OLED touchscreen is a huge advantage for plug-in applications.

THETA X - Ricoh

For the THETA V and THETA Z1, this function is available only for videos recorded while “Stitching during shooting” is OFF. Both of these cameras are primarily designed for photography. This is unique among consumer 360 cameras, most of which are heavily focussed on video. Great quality 360 photos should be high resolution to maintain sharpness and details, avoid over exposure in bright areas and have great dynamic range. The new camera has a 2.25-inch color touchscreen on the camera body which helps with standalone use and should help us take some amazing shots without having to always connect to a mobile phone and use the mobile apps.Create your own images using the THETA+ in-app editing functions. Add finishing touches onto already eye-catching work and create more visually stunning and realistic VR worlds. Videos shot with all RICOH THETA models are supported. Blur correction may not work depending on the shooting environment and conditions. Still image, Video: [AUTO, Shutter Priority] ISO50 to 3200, The Upper Limit settings ISO100 to 3200, [ISO Priority, Manual] ISO50 to 3200 To next" and "To previous" can now be selected from the "Display" when the spherical image is displayed. Another useful feature unique to the Z1 is a variable aperture which gives the camera greater ability to shoot in low light conditions, even at night with very little light.
