Time Shift Shooting
You can take 360-degree images with no photographer in the shot.
Time Shift is a type of photography in which the THETA's two built-in cameras operate one at a time, and the camera composes a 360-degree Photo on the main unit. By using this time difference to move the photographer to the side of the lens that is not operating, a 360-degree Photo can be taken without the photographer being reflected in the image.
The interval between pressing the shutter release button and taking the first (Front lenz) shot and the interval between pressing the shutter release button and taking the second (Rear lens) shot can be set (default settings are 2 seconds for the first (Front lens) shot and 5 seconds for the second (Rear lens) shot).
*Front lens: Lens on the side with the THETA logo printed on it
Rear lens: the lens on the side with the shutter release button
