�on for MECHA-H from the previous posi�on (return to the star�ng posi-
�on).
Remember that =0 is level , =90 is parked , =-90 is raised , as for the nadir.
These sequences can be used for start and end posi�ons.
EXAMPLE 5a
Another example of shoo�ng star�ng from the parked posi�on.
S=90,1=30_0,=_3,119=_0,=_-3,
S=90, means start posi�on is parked .
1=30_0, means 1 photo in the first posi�on, which is at a rota�on of 30° for
MECHA-V, and 0° for MECHA-H.
=_3, from here, there are 3° rota�on for MECHA-H un�l
119=_0 a�er the posi�on 119, where the rota�on for MECHA-H becomes
0°.
=_-3, from then on, the rota�on is -3° for MECHA-H, and it will con�nue to
be -3° un�l the end, which can be at 200 if you select 200 Shots , No Repeat ,
Scripted .
119 is the posi�on a�er 1st posi�on, where MECHA-H rota�on changes
from 3 to 0 , and a�er that it is changed in -3 . As there are no changes for
MECHA-V, we have only =30 , and the rest is the equal sign and nothing
a�er (=).
Remember _ (underscore) refers to MECHA-H, and = (equal sign) refers to
MECHA-V.
If you wonder why MECHA counts from the last posi�on instead of
having absolute posi�ons, here are some reasons:
1. a panorama o�en consists of rows of images, each row at a
certain �lt, so
2. you can repeat a piece of script, thus in the case of a gigapixel
panorama you have to write less.
