0.001 sec and B:5 sec, the result will be a shot at every ; seconds. If

movements are executed, the value of B needs to be large enough to

cover the !me taken by the move.

? Also, when W delay is nega!ve, a log %le – /intervals.txt – will be

produced, with all intervals, in ms, between the triggers of the

shu"er done by MECHA.

• B (Before) - the pause before each bracke!ng sequence or set of images.

If the value is nega!ve, up to 2 seconds will be used for Mirror Lock Up.

• M (Modi%er of Exposure+ - modi%er of the dura!on of shu"er bu"on

signal, a list of mul!pliers, like 1,0.;,2 for normal, half and double

exposure !me in case of 3 IMG, or it can be entered as -0.<EV *for under,

normal, over+, or 0.<EV *for normal, under, over+, in which case it will

automa!cally extend to the number of IMG. If the modi%er starts with

B, like B-2EV, or B1, or 1,0.;,2, the ”Bulb” mode will be assumed.

• E (Exposure+ - dura!on of shu"er bu"on signal, for example, 3 or 0.;^3

for progressive half Exposure, or 2^3 for progressive double Exposure in

a set. These can be entered as custom values. The values can be entered

as 1/100.

• A (A'er+ - the delay a'er each bracke!ng sequence or individual image.

If the value is nega!ve, there will be a delay a'er each shu"er actua!on.

• Degrees of rota$on - the rota!on angle between two consecu!ve

posi!ons in a sequence, speci%ed for [N x LEFT] or [N x RIGHT] bu"ons.

The rota!on angle is updated automa!cally, simultaneously with the

number of Shots. However, if the rota!on angle is changed, the number

of Shots does not change. Use this feature when you want to take a

certain number of shots, not an en!re panorama. Specify this number in

the next %eld *x N+, and execute the sequence with the [N x LEFT] or [N

x RIGHT] bu"ons.

• x N - the number of moves *N+ for [N x LEFT] or [N x RIGHT] bu"ons.

• Wait/Rewind - these op!ons tell MECHA to wait a'er last shoot, or to

rewind to ini!al posi!on. Rewind is useful if there are cables a"ached,

or for par!al panorama and !me-lapse.

• Repeat - delay in seconds un!l the shoo!ng sequence will be repeated

automa!cally, for example, 300 for ; minutes, or 5^300 to repeat 5

!mes ; minutes apart, or 0, or no repeat, for no repeat.

• Single/Dual/Scripted - select Single if you use one MECHA. See MECHA

MSS for details about Scripted op!on.
