	The Theta SC Camera is sturdy; its smooth powder coated metal finish makes it very comfortable to handle. The controls are simple enough for anyone to operate. On the side of the camera, there are three controls – the on/off power button, the wireless button, and the capture mode button. The power switch indicator turns blue when the power is on and the blue light flickers when the battery is low. The wireless button, situated below the power button, controls the wireless function. To turn on the self-timer function, switch on the power button while holding the wireless button. The third and last button on the side of the camera is the capture mode button which allows the user to hop between the still-image and video capture modes.

Ricoh Theta SC is a 360-degree camera that can capture images and videos with amazing clarity and resolution. The camera can be operated manually and from a remote device like a smartphone or tablet. The spherical images and videos captured using Theta SC can be viewed, edited, and shared through the Theta app. The Ricoh Theta SC Camera comes with a price tag of $199.99.

==Hardware==
The Ricoh Theta SC Camera has a very different shape than any other cameras (conventional or 360-degree) consumers knew before. It’s sleek, leaner, and taller than a smartphone. The 360-degree camera’s compact design and simple layout ensure life’s most precious moments are captured for posterity.

The Theta SC Camera is sturdy; its smooth powder coated metal finish makes it very comfortable to handle. The controls are simple enough for anyone to operate. On the side of the camera, there are three controls – the on/off power button, the wireless button, and the capture mode button. The power switch indicator turns blue when the power is on and the blue light flickers when the battery is low. The wireless button, situated below the power button, controls the wireless function. To turn on the self-timer function, switch on the power button while holding the wireless button. The third and last button on the side of the camera is the capture mode button which allows the user to hop between the still-image and video capture modes.

On the face of the Ricoh Theta SC Camera, there is the lens, shutter button, and three indicator lights. The indicator above the shutter button signifies the camera status, the wireless indicator lights up when the Wi-Fi is on and flickers when it’s off, and the last indicator differentiates between the video and camera mode.

The bottom end of the camera contains the tripod mount hole and a USB port. The top end of Theta SC contains the microphone and speaker vents.

==How to Use Ricoh Theta SC Camera==
The Ricoh Theta SC Camera can be handheld or mounted on a tripod. A single press of a button is all it takes to operate the camera. It can also be remotely controlled with the help of a smartphone (iOS and Android) that has the Theta app.

Ricoh gives the users two video resolution options to choose. The obvious choice of most users would be the high-definition quality 1080 pixels with 30 frames per second. Alternatively, videos can also be recorded at 720 pixels resolution with 15 fps.

===Live-view Display===
The Ricoh Theta SC Camera can be connected to a smartphone or tablet using a Wi-Fi wireless network. Once both the gadgets are connected the live-view display feature will allow the user to see the image that’s about to be captured on the monitor of the smartphone or tablet. The user can choose between the Panorama or Full-Screen mode.

==Software==
The new redesigned Theta app truly unleashes the power of the Ricoh Theta SC Camera. The camera has one-press operation feature, but with the help of the Theta app, the camera can be operated remotely. The app is available for both iOS and Android.
