Overview
Business subscribers can use Ricoh Theta cameras to capture 360° photos and post them directly to Tasks or Hyperlinks on plans. These photos have a gyroscopic viewer where you can scroll and pan throughout the photo. Although we don't support non-Ricoh Theta 360 cameras, photos from non-ricoh theta 360 cameras can still be uploaded to Fieldwire through the web.
If it is uploaded as a '360 photo', it will have a gyroscopic viewer. Using 360° photos in Fieldwire is a great way to give more depth and detail to your photos.
To ensure your Ricoh camera firmware is up to date and to connect to the camera's Wifi, you can opt to install the Ricoh app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store.
