RICOH THETA Disable Auto-Level topBottomCorrection for Interval Shooting

API Usage
2

Take Picture

When taking the picture with the RICOH THETA official mobile app, the _topBottomCorrection is set to Disapply

To test _topButtonCorrection Disapply, you can use the API to take pictures

In the examples below, I use the free mobile app API Tester.

Use Vysor with your mobile phone input the JSON with your laptop keyboard. You can also copy and paste the JSON body into the mobile phone app.

Summary

  • the official RICOH mobile app sets the _topBottomCorrection to Apply in my tests

  • to test _topBottomCorrection set to Disapply, I used a free mobile app

  • to test interval shooting, I used startCapture to start the shooting sequence and stopCapture to stop the sequence

  • I set_topBottomCorrection to Disapply prior to every interval shoot
