【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.

360-degree camera: Significantly improved video performance, image stabilization, high-speed wireless transfer, and expandability. A continuously evolving high-spec model.
Ricoh's unique and superior optical design, combined with the advanced image processing device "SnapDragon," achieves high levels of "high image quality," "high-precision stitching," "slim body," and "4K video."
• Approximately 10 times faster than conventional models! High-speed transfer to smartphones with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
• Full 360° sound recording! 360° spatial audio recording. Watch instantly on your TV with remote playback support.
• Supports YouTube live streaming. Data can be written to a USB memory stick.
In addition to conventional "zenith correction," the gyro sensor detects even slight movements during video recording, generating smooth 360° videos with minimal blur.
It's easy to shoot videos handheld or with a selfie stick, and it's especially effective for VR experiences.
Compatible with THETA's dedicated underwater housing (sold separately), which allows you to capture full underwater footage.
Use the official app to freely edit photos and videos and share them on various social media platforms.
The THETA V, based on the Android system, can be enhanced by adding various features in addition to its basic functions.
[Key Features of the New RICOH THETA V]
1. Capable of capturing high-definition 360° spherical still images and videos.
The new image sensor, which supports high-speed readout of captured data, and the main processor are both based on Qualcomm's "Snapdragon™," significantly improving the image quality of both still images and videos while simultaneously reducing power consumption. Furthermore, by integrating image processing technologies cultivated in the development of our high-performance cameras such as digital SLR cameras and GR, we have completely revamped the exposure accuracy and white balance algorithms, and have tuned the camera to produce high-definition 360° spherical images equivalent to approximately 14 million pixels in still image output pixels, with accurate and natural rendering even in automatic shooting mode.
The 360° spherical images you capture can be directly posted to Facebook and Line, or uploaded to the dedicated website theta360.com and shared on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. You can also upload the spherical images to your YouTube™ 360° channel or Google Maps™.
High-definition 360° video compatible with 2.4K resolution.
- It is possible to shoot high-definition, smooth 360° video at 3840 x 1920 pixels (equivalent to 4K size) at 30fps (frames per second). You can create immersive VR video content and enjoy watching videos on large monitors with greater realism. In addition to H.264, the video recording file format also supports the latest video compression standard, H.265 (Note 2).
Note 2: The dedicated app supports H.264 only. H.265 is a specification intended for future application support through the release of an API.
3. 360° spatial audio recording that recreates an overwhelming sense of presence.
The camera body has a built-in 4-channel microphone that supports 360° spatial audio recording. By recording audio in all 360° directions, including not only horizontal but also vertical, it is possible to reproduce sound and video as they were in the shooting environment, with 360° video and audio linked. Furthermore, by using the dedicated accessory "3D Microphone TA-1" (sold separately), which will be released at the same time, it is possible to capture natural sound with a large amount of information from low to high frequencies.
Note 3: The "3D Microphone TA-1" is equipped with a microphone unit developed by Audio-Technica Corporation.
4. High-speed data transfer
Improvements to the wireless communication module and faster data processing have increased communication speed to approximately 2.5 times that of previous models (Note 4). This allows for comfortable transfer and viewing of large-capacity image data resulting from higher image quality.
Note 4: Measurement values compared with "RICOH THETA S" using data of the same size. According to Ricoh.
5. World's first! Note 5: "Remote Playback Function" that allows you to enjoy 360° video on a large screen monitor.
The camera features a 360° video "remote playback function" as a plug-in. Using a compatible wireless display adapter or other general-purpose receiving device (Note 6), you can mirror and play back 360° still images and video data recorded in the camera, allowing you to enjoy immersive 360° video on a large display or projector, controlled directly from the camera itself.
Note 5: Among consumer-向け 360° camera products. Based on Ricoh research.
Note 5: Please check our website for a list of devices that have been confirmed to work.
6. Dual communication via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
It can maintain a constant connection with a smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Even with only a BLE connection, you can take photos from your smartphone, and the camera can be powered on from the basic app when it enters sleep mode, improving ease of use. With a Wi-Fi connection, all functions, including live view display and image transfer on your smartphone, are available, allowing you to choose the best connection for your shooting situation.
7. Functionality can be added via plugins.
By using an Android-based operating system, we have achieved excellent expandability with a high degree of flexibility. With the newly added "remote playback function," and by introducing various plugins currently under development, such as an "external memory recording function," a wide range of extended functions can be switched and from a smartphone app, enabling diverse usage. In the future, we envision an environment where plugins released by general developers can be added and .
8. Future updates are planned with enhanced functionality.
The device boasts high expandability, allowing for regular performance improvements through firmware updates for both the main unit and the app.
Supports 9.4K 360° live streaming output.
It supports real-time output of high-definition 360° spherical video equivalent to 4K resolution. By watching live streaming of 360° spherical video over the internet (Note 6), you can share time and space as if you were actually at the shooting location.
Note 6: Streaming requires a PC with high image processing capabilities and a high-speed internet connection.
10. Others
- Capable of shooting at ultra-high shutter speeds of up to 1/25000 seconds.
- Supports high-sensitivity shooting up to ISO 3200 (in manual mode).
- Built-in large-capacity memory of approximately 19GB, capable of taking approximately 4800 still images.
- The THETA+ app allows you to edit still images and export data for printing.
- The integration of the built-in accelerometer and the newly installed gyroscope improves the accuracy of the zenith correction process.
- The minimum shooting interval during interval shooting has been shortened, making it possible to shoot at 4-second intervals, which is about half the conventional interval.
- With the use of an underwater housing case (sold separately), 360° underwater photography is possible up to a depth of 30m.
