What is the Property Tour Mode plug-in?

When taking pictures of real estate properties, you can use the RICOH THETA X stand-alone without connecting to a mobile device.

Features:

• In order to not be in your photo, you can set the self-timer or time-shift. The self-timer can be set to 5, 10, or 15 seconds. Time-shift is a mode in which the camera lens is shot one side at a time. By moving to the side that is not being photographed, you can shoot without the photographer's reflection without leaving the room.
• You can sort the images you have taken into folders for each property and name the rooms on the spot. You can see which room the photo was taken in, which makes it easier to edit it later on your computer.
• Once you have finished photographing your property you will then plug the THETA into your computer and upload the photos into your tour using the RICOH360 Tours web app.
