Out of the box, MECHA works in AP mode. Since it does not have a wire-
less modem, it does not have Internet access. A device connected to it
may also lose Internet access. Please, refer to
MECHA Controller C1
Manual on STA mode for more details.
To execute a preset to the right/le�, select the preset, tap [Load] bu�on to
load the preset, then tap [RIGHT]/[LEFT] bu�on. For the moment, we do not
want to execute the preset, but to create a new preset.
We take a look at preset descrip�ons above, and select the preset most
similar to what we want to get. Suppose we want
6 shots around, 1 row,
plus zenith and nadir, star�ng from parked posi�on . The most appropriate
template seems to be DAC TEST 1312 Parked .
To find out more about a preset, you can choose a higher level for the UI
complexity from the drop down list next to [info] bu�on, at the top of the
page. Select A3 , which is the most advanced level .
Now, we have the full descrip�on of the selected preset and, in addi�on,
clicking the
[info] bu�on will toggle descrip�ons for all the controls:
• 12 Shots - 12 shots around for a full 360° panorama. No�ce how the
rota�on angle changes according to the number of photos, so that if we
mul�ply them, the result is 360°. On the other hand, if we change the
rota�on angle, the number of images does not change.
• 1 IMG - This is the number of (bracketed) images for each posi�on.
When using automa�c exposure bracke�ng in con�nuous shoo�ng or
self-�mer mode, MECHA treats it as 1 image. In other words, this is how
many �mes the camera will be triggered by MECHA. Select 0 if no image
is needed.
