Ricoh THETA X 360º Camera in More Detail

Significantly improved operation with 2.25-inch touchscreen

The RICOH THETA X includes a large user-friendly 2.25 inch TFT colour LCD with 360 x 640 dots. This enables you to preview the scene before capture, adjust shooting settings and view captured images. Vastly improved shooting efficiency now comes from a range of features available directly from the camera without the need for a smartphone.

360-degree high-resolution still image and video capture

The CMOS image sensor, main processor and lens design have all been renewed. It is now possible to capture high-resolution 360-degree images with a maximum resolution of approximately 60MP, thanks to a new 1/2.0 type sensor with approximately 48MP. Two image sizes are available to match the scene you’re shooting, with 11K for high-resolution brightly lit indoor photography and 5.5K images perfect for darker situations.

Enhanced image stabilisation helps capture vivid and smooth 360º videos at 5.7K equivalent resolution (5760 x 2880 pixels) at 30 frames per second (fps).

Switch battery and memory cards

For the first time in the RICOH THETA series the RICOH THETA X is powered by an interchangeable battery and memory storage capacity can be increased by adding an external microSDXC card. This allows you to continue shooting without worrying about remaining battery levels or storage capacity.

Improved smartphone compatibility

Connect with RICOH360 Tours for real estate to provide a dedicated RICOH THETA X plug-in.

The RICOH THETA X connects quickly and easily through wireless to a smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0, without the need to enter an SSID. Incorporated MIMO wireless communication technologies and real-time processing such as top/bottom correction is available while shooting videos. You can also transfer images and videos from the camera directly to a smartphone more quickly.

Improved expandability

The RICOH THETA X utilises an Android-based OS, allowing third-party developers to develop plug-ins to expand the functionality of the camera, harnessing the new touch panel monitor, to extend 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 RICOH THETA X itself – without using a computer or smartphone.

Linking with image sharing services

The RICOH THETA X links with image sharing services provided by Ricoh to improve user workflows.
