Ricoh Theta V 360-Degree Spherical Digital Camera - Grey

Features

High-quality image
Record high-resolution, 360 degree still images equivalent to 14M output pixels. A completely new algorithm delivers low-noise, high-resolution, and high-quality images from low to high sensitivity

4K video shooting
Video performance has been significantly improved, making 4K (3840x1920, 56Mbps), 30 fps high-resolution 360 degree shooting possible. Enjoy recording realistic spherical images

Record 360 degree spatial audio with a 4-channel microphone
New VR (virtual reality) compatible spatial audio technology is adopted to this model. Enjoy a completely new, realistic experience with linked video and audio.

World's first Remote Playback
Image data recorded on THETA V can be played back in 360 degrees on a monitor such as TV. The THETA V also functions as a remote control which can be used to select the image file and move displayed 360 degree image up, down, left, and right. it can also zoom-in and out.

High-speed readout image sensor
Two 1/2.3-type image sensors provide high-speed image data readout. An image sensor is included which delivers high-quality spherical video

Main processor
The Qualcomm Snapdragon is used as a main processor. It delivers a variety of improvements including faster image processing and wireless transfer speed, and power saving capabilities

High-performance 4-channel microphone
Four built-in microphones make it possible to record audio independently from four directions. This is then converted to a format that recreates natural 360 degree spatial audio.

Exclusive external 3D Microphone TA-1 (Optional)
This is a four-direction, 360 degree spatial audio microphone designed specially for the THETA V. Use it to record even higher quality audio with a more realistic feel.

High sensitivity of ISO 3200/6400
Enjoy high-sensitivity shooting from ISO 3200 (still images) to ISO 6400 (videos, live streaming). This range of sensitivity is highly effective for shooting in dark scenes.

Underwater Housing TW-1 (Optional)
This is an authentic waterproof housing with JIS Class8 quivalent protection class for shooting underwater to 30m. This housing features AR anti-reflective coating and dirt-resistant coating.

1/25000 seconds shutter speed
The shutter speed can be set in a range from 1/25000 to 60 seconds

Equipped with a gyro sensor
This model is equipped with a new gyro sensor in addition to the conventional acceleration sensor. Tilt detection precision has been significantly improved, along with top/bottom correction precision enhancements and the ability for Remote Playback.

Advanced image processing technology
Advanced image processing technology cultivated over the years in camera development deliver image quality with minimal loss of shadow detail and highlight blowout even in scenes with varying levels of contrast. The white balance algorithm has been completely returned to achieve natural hues for a wide range of scenes.

Interval Shooting
The minimum shooting interval is 4 seconds. This enables a greater range of use when creating time lapse videos.

4K Live Streaming
This model supports 4K compatible 360 degree live streaming. Output the 4K (3840x1920 pixels), 360 degree image in real-time.

Dual communication - Bluetooth and wireless LAN
In addition to wireless LAN, Bluetooth is now adopted for constant connection⁴ to your smartphone. Enjoy instant remote shooting and change shooting settings wherever you are.

Wireless LAN client mode
You can connect to a smartphone via wireless LAN access point. You can connect to THETA V using the Internet connection on your smartphone. Now you are free from troublesome wireless connection switching.

High-speed data transfer
Communication speed for both still images and videos is drastically improved. The maximum data transfer is approximately x2.5 faster than that of conventional models.

Expanded Functions via Plugins
A new system based on the Android OS is used on this mode. Adding plugins to the camera makes it possible to expand various features.
