Using the RICOH THETA app to capture images

If you are in a location with no cellular signal and cannot log into the RICOH360 Tours appR360_tours_appicon.png, we recommend using the RICOH THETA appRICOHTHETA_icon.png. You can find the app in the App Store / Google Play Store.

Please be sure you do not have both apps open at the same time.

Set up your camera in steps 1-10 below. If you are going to be far from your camera, you can also set the timer option.

  1. Install the THETA app RICOHTHETA_icon.png on your mobile device.  

  2. Go to your mobile devices wifi setting and select the THETA as your wifi network

  3. Launch the THETA app and tap the registered camera name. For example: THETAYL00123456.OSC

  4. Tap the white Shooting button if not already in shooting mode

  5. Tap the gear wheel in the upper right corner

  6. Make sure SHOOTING method is set to Normal shooting

  10. Make sure Option Setting is set to HDR Rendering
