The Ricoh THETA Z1 is a state of the art 360 degree camera that provides outstanding image quality and versatility. With its two 1 type back illuminated CMOS sensors and newly developed lens unit, it captures natural 360 images at 23MP resolution approximately 6720 x 3360, 7K while suppressing ghosting, flare and fringing.

These images can be easily incorporated into virtual tours. Additionally, with a new image processing algorithm, the Theta Z1 achieves low noise, high resolution images in both low and high sensitivity settings. Dynamic range correction is performed automatically and overexposure is effectively suppressed even in outdoor places where there is a lot of variation in brightness.
