RICOH THETA Disable Auto-Level topBottomCorrection for Interval Shooting

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

theta-api-specs/theta-web-api-v2.1/commands/camera.take_picture.md at main · ricohapi/theta-api-specs · GitHub

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