Using this app, connect THETA and your smartphone via Wi-Fi. Images captured using THETA will be stored temporarily in THETA and then transferred to your smartphone through the Wi-Fi connection. Transferred images can be viewed using the RICOH THETA basic app. You also need to connect THETA and smartphone via Wi-Fi when you shoot THETA remotely.

After carrying out the Wi-Fi settings on the RICOH THETA basic app just once, you will be able to connect easily to THETA during subsequent image transfers.

* The transferred images can be viewed on the app “RICOH THETA”.

Note!

On iOS 14.5 or later devices, THETA SC2 /SC2 for business may not be able to operate RICOH THETA via wireless LAN connection frequently.
