Manual Control with the Star Adventurer mini Conso
Go to the
Main Menu
and tap on
Manual Control
.
This will bring up the manual control arrows on either
side of an angle given in degrees and minutes. Tap
or touch and hold the arrow symbols to nudge or
continuously move
Star Adventurer 2i
to the left or
right, respectively. Release the arrow symbol to stop
Star Adventurer 2i
’s movement. The angle you have
rotated through will show up between the arrows.
Manual Control
gives you the ability to nudge your
camera, but without touching it directly – a handy
feature when you need to tweak your composition to
get that perfect shot without bumping your gear out of
alignment.
You can also use it to determine the
Swing Range
for
your time-lapse video compositions. For instance, say
you have two points of interest and want your video
to swing from one to the other. Aim your camera at
the first point, then Zero the counter. Now, tap and
hold the arrow keys until your camera is pointing at
your second point of interest. Record the angle that
is showing between the arrows and enter it as your
Swing Range
parameter when you are ready to create
you time-lapse video.
