About this deal

There is Iinear Rec2020 in the profile setting, and if this is used, HDRI with a high color gamut can be created. This time, we will proceed with the explanation in sRGB. This style does not include any processing such as camera profiles and IDT (Input Device Transform). The Ricoh Stitcher plugin works with Lightroom Classic CC (not Lightroom CC), and works by using Ricoh Stitcher for roundtrip editing. The benefit of this workflow is that it allows the user greater flexibility in editing the photos in Lightroom and avoids seams in editing. Ordinarily, applying edits such as adjusting highlights, clarity or dehaze will result in a seam between the left edge and right edge of the 360 photo. With this workflow, the stitching is applied after the edits, thus reducing the possibility of a seam in the stitched photo, compared to a photo that is stitched first and then edited afterward. There is no information on how much color gamut the actual Z1 has as a sensor, and we have not verified it. Since it is HDRI of Rec2020 color space, it is necessary to match the color space read by CG software. It might be easier to use Nuke etc. to convert to ACEScg etc. Connecting a Wireless Display Adapter to a TV Connecting the Adapter to the Camera Viewing Captured Still Images and Videos• + Transferring to a USB Storage Device VR Media Connection: enables a direct VR viewing with VR headsets such as Oculus Go (reviewed here).

Installing the Plug-ins Running the Plug-ins Changing the Plug-ins Available on the Camera Uninstalling the Plug-ins• + Developing Plug-ins Over the past year the Ricoh Theta Z1 developed a reputation (partly thanks to my review) for being a great all-in-one camera for shooting virtual tours, but is this still deserved? All other factors being equal, a camera with a larger sensor will have better image quality. Indeed, sensor size is one of the most important factors for imaqe quality. Sensor size will affect bit depth, dynamic range, signal to noise ratio (low light performance), and other factors. Videos shot with all RICOH THETA models are supported (excluding videos shot with the file size “1280 × 720”). Videos may not be converted depending on the shooting environment and conditions.As I mentioned above, the Z1’s 360 video quality has too low of a resolution to be competitive with other leading 360 cameras in 2019. However, in low light, the Z1’s video quality makes it useful even with lower resolution. Time Shift Shooting: the user can take two photos, one lens at a time, so that the photographer can move out of the way and be invisible in the stitched photo. The Theta Z1 has 4-channel spatial audio. It is able to record both horizontal and vertical direction of sounds. In a 360 video, the sound will change accordingly, depending on which direction the user is viewing, thus increasing the immersiveness of the video. However, unlike the Theta V, the Z1 does not have a microphone input and cannot use the optional TA-1 microphone of the Theta V. The Theta Z1 can geotag 360 photos if you take a photo with a GPS-enabled smartphone. The Z1 is compatible with the Street View app, which can be used to control the Z1 to take geotagged photos one at a time, or in intervals. However, as of April 9, 2019, Z1 videos cannot be uploaded to Street View yet. The Theta X offers some video upgrades including a boost in resolution up to 5.7K; this brings it in line with other sub 1K 360 camera like the GoPro Max and Insta360 One X2. There are more expensive professional cameras such as the Insta360 Pro 2 which can shoot 8K footage, more suitable for professional VR work.

In its original announcement, Ricoh said it was ‘urgently preparing to deliver products that comply with [the new] laws and regulations as soon as possible.’ Specifically, Ricoh said it would have more information available ‘by the end of March.’ Well, the end of March is here and while the announcement isn’t exactly a new 360-degree camera, it is a slightly improved version of the now-discontinued Theta Z1.Viewing Captured Still Images and Videos Deleting Captured Still Images and Videos Transferring Captured Still Images and Videos to a Smartphone Blurring Still Images (iOS App Only) Sharing Still Images and Videos• + Viewing and Sharing Using a Computer More red remains than when using [Incandescent light 1].)

Both visually, and in terms of specifications, the Theta Z1 51GB remains unchanged from its predecessor, aside from a bump in internal memory (up to 51GB compared to the 19GB inside the original Theta Z1). Internally, there could be changes that have been made to comply with regulations, but even if components have changed, it doesn’t appear those changes have affected the specifications at all. My Settings shooting function set to on in the video shooting mode (with shooting conditions changed) Indicates the camera status. Lit in blue: The camera is ready for shooting. Flashing in blue: The camera is starting up (when the lamp flashes slowly). File conversion is progressing (when the lamp flashes rapidly). Lit in white: The plug-in installed in the camera is running. Flashing in red: An error has occurred in the camera. The lamp also flashes during the the power-off process of the camera. Lit in green: The self-timer function can be used for shooting. Unlit: Shooting is not possible as the camera is in the sleep mode, no more images can be captured, or no more recordable time remains. The lamp is also unlit in the light/sound off mode or during shooting. To add a control point, tap on the + icon on the bottom right. Then tap on any point around the image circle. You’ll see a zoomed in view for each lens. Move the crosshair in each lens to the same point. Hint: you can drag anywhere in the circle to drag the crosshair. When you are done, tap on the + icon again to create another control point. Adding a control point in Theta Z1 Stitcher calibration Here is a two-part in-depth look at the Ricoh Theta Z1. In Part 1 of this video, I discuss the Theta Z1’s features for image quality and workflow. Then I compared the Z1 to popular 360 cameras for virtual tours including Insta360 One X and Ricoh Theta V:Step 1: take a calibration photo in Raw mode. The photo must be taken at a 90 degree angle (parallel to the horizon, with one lens facing the sky, and the other lens facing the ground). It helps to use a ballhead. Choose a location where there is nothing within 5 meters (15 feet) from the camera along the stitch line. Usually, it is good to choose a location with tall objects around the camera but not close to the camera. For example, a place with buildings or trees.
