The Ricoh Theta Z1 51GB – A New Era in Photography
The Ricoh Theta Z1 51GB marks a significant milestone in Ricoh’s flagship product line, as it redefines image quality standards of the Theta series. Fusing simplicity of use with stunning high-performance, the Theta Z1 lets users capture full 360-degree images in approximately 23MP (6720 x 3360, 7K) detail.
Engineered with an integrated 1.0-inch back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, the Theta Z1 remarkably suppresses noise, rendering high-quality images even under low-light indoor settings or during night time captures.
Despite being furnished with a large image sensor, the camera’s internal design has been strategically optimized. This boosts performance and quality on an unparalleled level. Ricoh has implemented a newly developed lens unit that minimizes image shadows, glares, and purple fringing. They have also revamped the aperture mechanism, providing options of F2.1, F3.5, and F5.6. When the aperture is closed, it results in higher image resolution.
A Camera for Different Scenarios
The Theta Z1 accommodates various shooting scenarios, leveraging diverse shooting modes. This high performing camera extraordinarily generates spherical videos at 4K (3840 x 1920, 29.97fps) quality. It’s the first time a camera like the Theta Z1 has the ability to save in RAW (DNG format), whilst preserving the option of saving in JPEG. Additionally, it supports 4K live streaming of 360 videos, transmitting highly realistic top-quality images globally.
Moreover, the Theta Z1 comes with a 4-channel microphone, enabling independent audio recording from four different directions during video capturing. The camera records 360 spatial audio for 4K videos, enriching the realness of a VR world. Its robust housing, made of magnesium-alloy, combines a high-end feel with sturdiness. The Z1 also features a display panel, making it easy to check information such as battery level, the number of images that can be captured, and the shooting mode at a glance.
Advance Editing Options and Sharing Capabilities
Users can opt to edit 360 images using the renowned Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC, simply by importing the images using the unique “RICOH THETA Stitcher” plug-in. For final touches to a striking piece of work, the exclusive editing app “THETA +” is a perfect companion. Not only that, but these apps also facilitate easy transmission of your work worldwide.
