Theta SC2 Package
great Package, great way to start virtual tours and 360 photos!
Easy to use; great 360 images.
I'm on my third Ricoh Theta S. Easy to set up, connect to my mobile device, and transfer images to Thinglink. Worth the investment.
Ricoh SC2 360 Degree 14MP Camera
Ricoh follows up its SC model with the new Theta SC2. This compact 360 camera features two ultra-wide lenses and a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor behind each lens. It has 360-degree 4K video recording capabilities since it utilizes the same high-speed image sensors of THETA V models. It is also capable of real-time internal stitching of 4K video thanks to an additional supporting image processing engine. The Theta SC2 has various presets that suit specific shooting conditions. It has Face Mode for detecting and centering faces in the image and a Lens-by-Lens Exposure mode for capturing images simultaneously using the front and rear lenses of the Theta SC2. It also has Night View for capturing low-noise photos using noise reduction, dynamic range correction, and face detection. The Ricoh Theta SC2 camera is available in four stylish colors: white, pink, beige, or blue. Capture breathtaking and high-quality panoramic videos easily with the new Ricoh SC2 360 Degree camera.
4K Video
The Theta SC2 is capable of recording 4K video thanks to the same high-speed interface-compatible image sensor as the THETA V and due to the change to the image processing engine support for real-time stitching when recording 4K video. It is equipped with a shake correction function and features up to 3 minutes of recording.
Face
- Faces are detected and centered in the image. Exposure compensation and noise reduction brightens faces for beautiful looking skin.
- If the detected face is in a high location, slant top/bottom correction is sacrificed to bring the face to the center of the screen.
- Images are processed to smooth skin regardless of whether or not faces are successfully detected.
- Faces may not be detected in image seams. The available detection area ranges up to 85-100 cm
Night View
- This preset is for capturing low-noise shots, and is intended for use with a tripod.
- Image processing is a combination of noise reduction (image composite) + DR correction + face detection.
- This preset independently controls the AE and AWB for the front and rear camera in scenes with extreme differences in contrast.
- Highlight Priority AE in dark scenes captures main subjects beautifully even when they are lit brightly.
- The rear image is placed on the left and the front image on the right for a side-by-side display.
- The basic app for smartphone is required to change the WB settings.
- WB: Underwater must be set to videos and still images in My Settings.
- When the power is turned ON without configuring My Settings, the camera automatically switches to WB: Auto.
- The self-timer mode is saved even when the camera is turned OFF, so it is automatically activated when the camera is turned back ON.
HDR Algorithm Changes
- Chromatic aberration and fringing are no longer noticeable. Color saturation no longer produces unnatural effects.
- Contrast is high in highlights.
- Processing time is faster. It is approximately 23 seconds for SC, whereas it is approximately 9.5 seconds for SC2.
Bluetooth Connection
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is now included. Shooting is possible even when wireless LAN is connected to the Internet on a smartphone. Shooting is also possible using a Bluetooth remote control
