• Place a sheet of paper in front of

MECHA in such way to %ll the frame.

The frame can be viewed through

view%nder or through the live view.

Instead of the sheet of paper, any well

de%ned feature or image on screen, or

other means, can be used. A gray

sheet of paper will work best for

exposure purposes as well.

• The camera and lens must be set the

same as for shoo!ng the actual

panorama.

• Enter the code

31< on MECHA-H, and

when the power bu"on starts

)ashing, MECHA waits for two quick

presses of the power bu"on, ⏻, as

follows:

& $rst - in order to trigger the camera

? and the second - a'er the camera was triggered

• A'er that, MECHA will rotate slowly to the right and waits for another

press of the power bu"on, ⏻, right a'er the sheet of paper is out of the

camera(s frame.

• Then MECHA will go back to the ini!al posi!on and will start slowly to

!lt down and waits, again, for another press of the power bu"on, ⏻,

when the sheet of paper is out of the camera(s view.

• Then MECHA will go back to the ini!al posi!on, and

• the LEDs 1, 2 and 3, under the ba"ery symbol, will start )ashing, and

MECHA waits *

1; seconds+ for one of the bu"ons [1], [2], or [3] to be

pressed, to assign the computed preset to that par!cular bu"on. To

cancel the assignment, the power bu"on, ⏻, can be pressed instead.

If MECHA is unable to compute a pa"ern using the feedback received from

pressing the power bu"on *mostly caused by too small intervals+, the LEDs

will show ###, which indicates that nothing has changed.

To execute the panorama computed by MECHA, make sure the ver!cal rail

is in LEVEL posi!on, and press the bu"on to which you have assigned the

panorama, then press either the le' or right bu"on.
