Caution

  • A 3G or LTE line is used for sharing in step 10 even if the camera is connected to a smartphone via Wi-Fi. This operation therefore needs to be performed in a place where this communication is possible. If sharing via Wi-Fi, change the Wi-Fi connection to an access point.
  • When using RICOH THETA for Android to connect your smartphone to the camera using Wi-Fi, you may need to switch network connections in order to post photos. Therefore, when you want to use the camera by connecting it to the smartphone after posting your photos, you need to reconnect them.

Note

  • The still image is uploaded to theta360.com dedicated display site and a link to the uploaded still image is posted to the social networking service.
  • For still images, Photo Sphere XMP meta data is saved when the image is captured. Still images that have Photo Sphere XMP meta data added can be shared and viewed as spherical images on various Google services (Gallery, Google Maps, View, Google+, Photos, etc.).
