Developed as the standard-class model of the Ricoh Theta series, this 360-degree camera provides a range of basic features.
Ricoh India has unveiled Ricoh Theta SC, a spherical camera that captures the space around with one touch. Developed as the standard-class model of the Ricoh Theta series, this 360-degree camera provides a range of basic features.
The Ricoh Theta SC measures 45.2mm (W) x 130.6mm (H) x 22.9mm (17.9 mm *6) and weighs approximately 102gms which makes it noticeably lighter and less bulky than a basic compact camera.
The new Ricoh Theta SC allows users to transfer captured 360-degree images to smartphones and tablet computers. In addition, it also allows users to upload their images to the theta360.com, a dedicated website and then share them on social networks, or upload 360-degree videos directly to Facebook and YouTube.
The Ricoh Theta SC captures high-resolution, fully spherical videos at Full HD quality (1920x 1080 recorded pixels, 30 frames per second) for a maximum duration of five minutes (after a synthesizing process). The images can be taken in 1.5 seconds after the power is turned on.
Ricoh Theta SC is also compatible with the new Google Street View app. The app allows to capture and publish photo spheres instantly to Google Maps for people all over the world to explore. Users could either shoot photo spheres in the app, or connect it to spherical cameras like Ricoh Theta SC.
The Ricoh Theta SC is equipped with an LED indicator on its front panel for at-a-glance confirmation of the current mode, and a still-image/video switching button on the side panel. They let users operate the camera smoothly and unerringly even when it is disconnected from a smartphone or tablet computer.
The camera is available in Blue, Beige, Pink and White colours. The Ricoh Theta SC is priced at Rs 25,995 and will be available from 16th November.
