Recommended Camera Settings for 360Plus
When taking 360x360 images, follow all of the above instructions, and the
additional instructions below.
Because the 360Plus uses 4 images, it is best to make sure that all 4 images
have the same exposure. This will ensure the end result will have a continuous
tone and density throughout the image. The best way to do this with the Olympus
C-3030 is to:
•
Try to make the scene as evenly balanced with the same type of light as
possible. For example, close window shades to avoid harsh uneven
lighting, and turn on interior lights to try to balance the brightness.
•
Set the white balance to a fixed setting. This will keep the camera from
shifting the white balance between shots if the scene has more than one
type of lighting. To do this, press the menu button on the back of the
camera, and use the down arrow to select WB, then the right arrow to see
the choices for pre-set white balance settings. Choose the correct pre-set
option according to the scene you are shooting. Your choices are
Outdoor/sunny, overcast, tungsten, and fluorescent.
•
To make sure your exposure is even in all 4 shots, set the camera to
Manual Exposure mode. To do this, press the menu button, and then use
the down arrow until you see the A/S/M mode selection. Here, use the
right arrow to see the selections and choose M for Manual Exposure. Use
the OK button to finalize your selection. You can now use the UP/Down
arrows to change the shutter speed settings, and the right/left arrows to
change the Aperture settings. (These settings are shown in green
characters) We recommend using an aperture setting of f7.0, then adjust
the shutter speed until you have a properly exposed image. The exposure
value is displayed to the right of the camera settings in the LCD panel in
white numbers. If you are overexposed, the display will show a “+” with an
exposure value. Adjust the shutter speed until the Exposure value is close
to zero, or is not displayed at all. This will mean that your image will be
properly exposed. Keep this manual setting for all 4 of the images in the
Oneshot Plus set of images.

Use the self –timer to remove yourself from the scene.
