Use RICOH THETA to record memories of events!

Group photos are often shot during events such as class reunions, wedding ceremonies, and while on trips.

However, it is not an easy thing to shoot group photos with many people.
The person shooting the photo does not appear in the shot, someone is cut out of the shot accidentally, or you can’t see the scenery.

RICOH THETA can record high quality images completely in 360 degrees so this thoroughly eliminates such problems. You can also enjoy shooting interesting photos unique to 360-degree images.

What type of camera is THETA?

THETA is a 360-degree camera that records the entire space in high resolution, something that normal cameras cannot do. Photos and videos can be shot easily with a single press of the shutter button, without worrying about the composition or angle of the shot.

The camera is designed to be slim and compact, and is also easy to carry around.

There are many ways to enjoy the camera by using a dedicated app and sharing photos and videos over SNS.
