Model Comparison
The THETA X can shoot an 11K image compared to the 5.4K image of the SC2.
To take advantage of the higher-resolution images of the THETA X, developers may wish to optimize the viewer and enable zoom for high-detail areas such as the climate control and media center.
Original Images Used in Test
- RICOH THETA X 11K, auto-HDR
- RICOH THETA SC2 5.4K, auto-HDR
4x zoom
In the following example, both images are zoomed 4x. Developers can enable pinch-to-zoom or set a preset zoom. This example shows a preset zoom.
The client control knob features are easier to identify in the THETA X (left image).
3x zoom
At 3x zoom, the differences are noticeable, but not as dramatic. The difference in the lighting is partially due the HDR capability of the THETA X.
2x zoom
The next set of examples show 2x zoom as a reasonable default zoom level for navigation.
