shutter for the first panorama sequence (see table below) .

• Depending on the chosen configuration, insert the screws in hole ”AC“ or
”AD“ .
• Rotate the camera on the top plate to the starting position (first shutter
release of a shot) .
• Fix the camera in the starting position and rotate the central drum until the
first ”click stop“ is reached, lock with knob „AA“ .
• Trigger the first shot and then rotate the camera to the next “click stop”
without unlocking knob ”AA“ .
Proceed in this way until the first panorama sequence is finished (until reaching
the 360° starting position) .
After the completion of the first panorama sequence you can begin the further
sequences necassary to complete the sphere: Modify the vertical angle (ele-
vation angle) with the help of knob ”W“ and the round scale ”Z“ and repeat
the processes outlined above for each complete sequence .
On the base of the head ”AD“ is a graduated scale ”AE“, wich goes from 0° to
360°, and a mark on the central column . This data must be used as a reference
value to determine the angle . To use the head in this way, the knob ”AA“ must
be unlocked so that the ”click stop“ is disengaged during the rotation of the
central column . Now lock the shutter release position with knob ”W“ and ”Y” .
