Swing Range (Deg):
Use
Swing Range
to create an interesting
swing or pendulum effect for your time-lapse video. When used,
SAM will pan to the limit of the
Swing Range
that you set, then
pan back to your starting point as many times as specified in the
Swing Count
parameter. For instance, say you have two interesting
subjects that you want to feature in your video. Set
Swing Range
to the angle between them and
Swing Count
to 1, then point
your camera at the first subject. As the time-lapse video is being
recorded, SAM will pan from the first subject to the second subject
then stop. By setting
Swing Count
to 2, it will pan to your second
object, then back to your first object, then stop. By using Swing
Range values greater than 1 you can have SAM pan back and
forth multiple times during the video. Set
Swing Range
to O for
no panning and to an even number to always end up where you
started.
Speed (Deg/Hr):
Speed
determines how quickly SAM will pan.
In most cases, you do not need to set this parameter unless you
want to control the panning speed but are not concerned with the
actual video time span. If you do not want SAM to pan in your
time-lapse video then set
Speed
to 0.
Clockwise:
ON
will cause SAM to rotate left to right (viewing down
with the saddle on top).
OFF
will cause SAM to rotate right to left.
WiFi Off on Run:
When enabled, SAM will automatically turn
off
WiFi at the start of a task to save power. WiFi can be restored at any
time by pressing and holding the power button until the green LED
WiFi indicator light comes on.
