World’s first2 Remote Playback3
Image data recorded on THETA V can be played back in 360 degrees on a monitor such as TV. The THETA V also functions as a remote control which can be used to select the image file and move displayed 360 degree image up, down, left, and right. It can also zoom-in and out
High-speed readout image sensor
Two 1/2.3-type image sensors provide high-speed image data readout. An image sensor is included which delivers high-quality spherical video.
Main processor
The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ is used as a main processor. It delivers a variety of improvements including faster image processing and wireless transfer speed, and power saving capabilities.
Underwater Housing TW-1 (Optional)
This is an authentic waterproof housing with JIS Class 8 equivalent protection class for shooting underwater to 30 m. The housing features AR anti-reflective coating and dirt-resistant coating.
1/25000 seconds shutter speed
The shutter speed can be set in a range from 1/25000 to 60 seconds.
High sensitivity of ISO 3200/6400
Enjoy high-sensitivity shooting from ISO 3200 (still images) to ISO 6400 (videos, live streaming). This range of sensitivity is highly effective for shooting in dark scenes.
Equipped with a gyro sensor
This model is equipped with a new gyro sensor in addition to the conventional acceleration sensor. Tilt detection precision has been significantly improved, along with top/bottom correction precision enhancements and the ability for Remote Playback.
Advanced image processing technology
Advanced image processing technology cultivated over the years in camera development deliver image quality with minimal loss of shadow detail and highlight blowout even in scenes with varying levels of contrast. The white balance algorithm has been completely retuned to achieve natural hues for a wide range of scenes.
Interval shooting
The minimum shooting interval is 4 seconds. This enables a greater range of use when creating time lapse videos.
