A 3G or LTE line is used for sharing in Step 9 even if the camera is connected to a smartphone via a wireless LAN.
Therefore, this operation needs to be performed in a place where this communication is possible. If sharing images
via a wireless LAN, change the wireless LAN connection to an access point.
When using “RICOH THETA for Android” to connect the smartphone to the camera via a wireless LAN, you may
need to switch network connections to post images. Therefore, when you want to use the camera by connecting it
to the smartphone after posting images, reconnect them.
When an image is posted to a social networking service, it is compressed by the social networking service and may
become grainy. Check the specifications of the social networking service for details.
Images are uploaded to the dedicated site “theta360.com”, and a link to the uploaded images is posted to the social
networking service.
For still images, Photo Sphere XMP meta data is saved when the image is captured. Still images that have Photo
Sphere XMP meta data added can be shared and viewed as spherical images on various Google services (Gallery,
Google Maps, View, Photos, etc.).

Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other objects. Take special care not to hit the lens.
In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles
such as fogging of the glass surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a bag to slow the
temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere
has decreased to a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.
Do not get the camera wet. Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This can result in malfunction or an electrical
shock.
When taking photos of an important event (such as a wedding or overseas trip), take a test photo beforehand to check
that the camera is working properly.
The camera may get hot if you record a video for a long period of time or perform shooting multiple times in quick
succession. In this case, the camera may stop operating to prevent damage from high temperatures.
The temperature of the camera may rise high when a video is recorded for a long period of time or shooting is
performed multiple times in quick succession. Use a tripod etc. when performing shooting for a long period of time to
prevent low temperature burns.
Battery
A lithium ion battery is used in the camera.
Be sure to charge the battery before use, as it is not fully charged before shipment.
Due to the characteristics of the battery, use in cold areas will shorten the usage time even if the battery is sufficiently
charged.
If storing for a long time, charge the battery for around 30 minutes once a year.
Store the battery in a cool place. A dry place with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F) is recommended.
Avoid extremely hot or cold places.
Do not recharge immediately after charging is done.
Charge the battery in an area with an ambient temperature of 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F). Charging in a hot area may
cause the battery to deteriorate. Charging in a cold area may prevent sufficient charging.

Care and Storage
Care
Note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, image quality may deteriorate.
When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available in
stores) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off.
Wipe the lens particularly carefully after use at the beach or around chemicals.
If the camera fails to work properly, consult the nearest service center.
Never disassemble the camera by yourself, as this is dangerous.
Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzine, or pesticides on the camera. This may cause a change in quality,
paint to peel, etc.
If the camera exterior becomes dirty, wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth such as a glasses wiping cloth, or wipe it using a
thoroughly wrung-out wet cloth. Do not use solvents, as doing so may cause the external surface of the camera to
corrode.
Use and Storage
Avoid using or storing the camera in the following kinds of places, as this may damage the camera.
Places with high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in humidity or temperature
Places with large amounts of sand or dust
Places with significant vibration
Places where it will be in contact with chemicals such as insect repellent or products made from rubber, vinyl, etc. for
long periods of time
Places where strong magnetism is emitted (next to monitors, transformers, magnets, etc.)
Store the camera in a dust-free camera bag, etc. to prevent dust or dirt from getting on the camera. Also, avoid carrying
the camera without a case (in your pocket, etc.) to help to keep free from dust or fiber particles.
