● 1 TRG — 1 trigger, no bracketing. This is the number of camera triggers
for each position. Select zero if no trigger is needed. When using
automatic exposure bracketing in continuous shooting or self-timer
mode, MECHA treats it as 1 trigger.
● AF 0.01 sec — Auto-focus 0.01 sec. If the value is negative, the AF signal
will be ON during the entire image sequence. In order to trigger the
camera, for some Sony cameras, you have to set an AF value greater than
zero, even if the camera focus is set to manual.
● W:0 sec — No pause for camera wake up. If the value is negative, the
pause will be forced even when the camera is ON, before each sequence
begins. Useful for moving out of the camera's view.
● B:0 sec — No pause before a set of images. If the pause before each
bracketing sequence or set of images is negative, up to 2 seconds will be
used for Mirror Lock Up.
● M:1 — Normal modifier of exposure. Modifier of Exposure is the Modifier
of the Duration of shutter button signal, a list of multipliers, like 1,0.5,2
for normal, half and double exposure time in case of 3 TRG , or it can be
entered as -0.7EV (for under, normal, over) or 0.7EV (for normal, under,
over), in which case it will automatically extend to the number of TRG .
If the modifier starts with B, like B-2EV, or B1, or 1,0.5,2, the ”Bulb” mode
will be assumed.
● E:0.25 sec — Exposure 0.25 sec. Duration of shutter button signal, for
example, 3 or 0.5*3 for progressive half Exposure, or 2*3 for progressive
double Exposure in a set. These can be entered as custom values. The
values can be entered as 1/100.
● A:1 — 1 sec. delay after each bracketing sequence or individual image. If
the value is negative, there will be a delay after each shutter actuation.
● 30° — The rotation angle between two consecutive positions in a se-
quence specified for [N x LEFT] or [N x RIGHT] buttons.
● x1 — 1 move. The number of moves (N) for [N x LEFT] or [N x RIGHT]
buttons.
● Wait — Wait after last shot. The other option is Rewind , which means
rewind to the initial position. Useful if there are cables attached, or for a
partial panorama and time-lapse.
● No Repeat — This is the delay in seconds until the shooting sequence will
be repeated automatically. Set zero (0) or No Repeat for no repeat.
● SP,0x12,-45x12,45x12,Z,N — The MSS script that describes our preset:
start position is parked , 3 rows of 12 positions, one Zenith and one Nadir
(see MECHA’s Simple Scripting (MSS) for more details).
