Using Pause in MSS Script
Let’s take a pause. Sometimes, to the above, we need a pause, say, before
the horizontal row, or before Nadir, to be sure we are out of view.
The pause can be added using
P
, so
0x12
will mean: at a tilt of 0°, a row of 12 positions, while
P0x12
will mean the same, but with a pause before, and
MECHA will wait for the
>
button to be pressed, or for
the UI
[PAUSE]
button to be pressed, or for the
:
(pause)
button of the NN IR Remote to be pressed, to continue.
That pause can be used to adjust some camera settings,
like exposure, aperture, WB, focus, and more.
SL,P0x12,45x10,-45x10,N,ZZ
If you want a pause before each row, for focus, for
example, then:
SL,P0x12,P45x10,P-45x10,N,ZZ
or even before Nadir and Zenith:
SL,P0x12,P45x10,P-45x10,PN,PZZ
To customize it even more, let's say we want an extra image at the
beginning, a kind of clapboard you may want to use, for WB or even for
focus; it will be a kind of image you need to take again, without the extra
elements in it, and the second one to be used in panorama.
As the horizontal row is scripted by 0x12, for the extra shot we can add
another horizontal row, but made from only one position, like 0x1 with
pause or not. For example, if starting from
level
, we may not need a pause,
as we can launch the preset after the clapboard preparations are done, and
we will have the pause only before the actual row of 12 to start, time to
remove, say, the gray card.
