    There are three shooting methods available in the Image Capture mode: Normal Shooting, Time Shift and Interval Shooting. To switch between shooting methods, tap [Normal Shooting] in the top right corner of the live view display, and you can switch between Normal Shooting, Time Shift and Interval Shooting in the pop-up display at the bottom of the screen.
    • Normal Shooting
      In Normal Shooting, the Self-Timer can be set.
      Please click here for instructions on how to set the Self-Timer.
    • Time Shift (available on RICOH THETA Z1, X, and V)
      Time Shift is a Capture mode in which the two cameras built into THETA operate one at a time (hour(s)), and the main unit composes a 360-degree image. By using this hour(s) difference to move the photographer to the side of the lens that is not moving, a 360-degree image can be captured without the photographer being reflected in the image.
      Please refer to here for Shooting Method Settings.
    • Interval Shooting (available on RICOH THETA Z1, X, and V) This mode allows you to take pictures at fixed intervals. Settings such as Interval and Total number of shots can be set. Please refer to here for Settings.
