The new Ricoh Theta SC2 has the same compact design and ease of use, making it the perfect model for the 360 enthusiast. Don’t let the compact design deceive you, the Theta SC2 takes photos at approximately 14 megapixels and 360° video at 30 frames per second in 4k (3840 x 1920).

New to the Theta SC2 is the variety of shooting modes, like “Face” mode, which recognizes human faces and applies skin smoothing, and “Night View” mode for shooting low-noise footage after the sun goes down.

Finding out how much battery is left is easier than ever with the new OLED display. At a glance you can check battery power, setting modes and your wifi connection. The new Self-timer button allows for great shots.

Available in four color options, Blue, Beige, Pink and White.

And don’t forget your Theta Accessories.

SHOOTING MODES

Theta SC2 is equipped with a range of preset modes that delivery the perfect footage for specific subjects and shooting scenarios. Also an all new underwater* mode, that allows the user to adjust to the ideal white balance when shooting underwater has been added.

*a dedicated underwater housing, like the TW-1 , is required when shooting underwater.

 

Face Mode

A mode that detects human faces and automatically places them at the center of the image. This mode is also using exposure compensation and noise reduction to apply skin smoothing.

Lens-by-Lens Exposure

A mode that controls two lenses individually to provide clear, bright footage of subjects in scenarios where there are significant variations in brightness levels, such as inside and outside vehicle, or on a stage.

Night view

A mode that utilizes dynamic range compensation and noise reduction through image compositing to deliver beautiful night-time shots.

Easy-to-Understand Camera Design and Interface

The lower half and side of the THETA SC2 is where all of the camera user interface happens. The shutter release button and OLED display are both on the front of the camera. On the side of the camera you will find the Power, Wifi, Mode and Self-timer buttons.

Four Color Options

The Ricoh THETA SC2 comes in four different colors that users can choose from pink, blue, beige and white.

Dual Communication and High-Speed Data Transfer

The THETA SC2 can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth®. Improvements to ease of use have also been made. Smartphones can now be used for shooting with just a Bluetooth® connection, and when the camera has entered the sleep state, it can be powered on from the basic app. With a wireless LAN connection, all functions can be used, including live view display and image transfer on a smartphone, which can be used separately as appropriate to the shooting circumstances.

The process has been changed such that the “top/bottom” correction is performed when videos are played back instead of when data is transferred, making the video transfer rate approximately 4x faster than the previous Ricoh Theta SC model.
