Overview

The ScanPlanTM is compatible with Ricoh Theta panoramic cameras, allowing you to take panoramic images on the fly. Follow these instructions to prepare your Ricoh Theta camera for use.

  2. Connect the other end to a USB Port on your computer.
  3. When the device is charging, the green LED will be illuminated (not flashing). When the camera is fully charged, the LED will go off.
    Note: Only allow one smart phone to be connected to the camera at a time. If another smartphone has been used with the Theta camera, make sure that phone is NOT set to automatically connect to the camera. It could cause capture errors.

Downloading the Theta PC program

  1. Download the RICOH THETA Setup.exe from https://support.theta360.com/en/download/.
  2. Install the program to the default/recommended directory.
  3. Run the RICOH THETA app by clicking the start button and scrolling down to RICOH and selecting the RICOH app, or start typing Ricoh in the search window and then select RICOH THETA.

Updating the Theta Firmware

It is recommended to use a computer to update the firmware as the files are large.

  1. With the Theta camera connected, press the power button (top button). The blue LED on the front of the camera will turn on, and the camera icon will be illuminated.
    Note: The green LED may or may not be illuminated during this step, depending on the level of charge in the Theta.
  2. With the RICOH THETA app open, click File.
  3. Click Firmware Update.

  2. Turn on the Theta camera by briefly pressing the power button on the side.
  3. LED’s will illuminate and the Wi-Fi icon above the camera icon will be flashing.
