Panorama Using MECHA’s
Buttons
Panorama with Automatic Shooting Pattern
Using only the MECHA’s Buttons
This method requires the firmware version
(1)2118
or newer, and works for
rectilinear lens from 10 to 200 mm (FF equiv).
The shooting pattern will be computed by MECHA based on only few
presses of a button, without using the User Interface, as follows:
●
First, position the upper rail in the
level
position using the left/right
buttons.
●
Place
a sheet of paper in front of
MECHA
in such way to fill the
frame. The frame can be viewed
through viewfinder or through the
live view. Instead of the sheet of
paper, any well defined feature or
image on a screen, or other means,
can be used. A gray sheet of paper
will work best for exposure
purposes as well.
●
The camera and lens must be set
the same as for shooting the actual
panorama.
●
Enter the
31<
code. After entering
the code, MECHA waits for two
quick presses of the power button,
P
, as follows:
○
the
first
– in order to trigger the camera
○
and the
second
– after the camera was triggered.
●
After that, MECHA will rotate slowly to the right and wait for another
press of the power button
,
P
, right after the sheet of paper is out of
the camera's frame.
