MECHA User’s Guide v.05.4 ! Dual Axis

Out of the box, MECHA works in AP mode. Since it does not have a wire-

less modem, it does not have Internet access. A device connected to it

may also lose Internet access. Please, refer to

MECHA Controller C1

Manual

on STA mode for more details.

To execute a preset to the right/le', select the preset, tap [Load] bu"on to

load the preset, then tap [RIGHT]/[LEFT] bu"on. For the moment, we do not

want to execute the preset, but to create a new preset.

We take a look at preset descrip!ons above, and select the preset most

similar to what we want to get. Suppose we want 6 shots around, 1 row,

plus zenith and nadir, star!ng from parked posi!on. The most appropriate

template seems to be DAC TEST 1312 Parked.

To %nd out more about a preset, you can choose a higher level for the UI

complexity from the drop down list next to [info] bu"on, at the top of the

page. Select A3, which is the most advanced level.

Now, we have the full descrip!on of the selected preset and, in addi!on,

clicking the [info] bu"on will toggle descrip!ons for all the controls:

• 12 Shots - 12 shots around for a full 360° panorama. No!ce how the

rota!on angle changes according to the number of photos, so that if we

mul!ply them, the result is 360°. On the other hand, if we change the

rota!on angle, the number of images does not change.

• 1 IMG - This is the number of *bracketed+ images for each posi!on.

When using automa!c exposure bracke!ng in con!nuous shoo!ng or

self-!mer mode, MECHA treats it as 1 image. In other words, this is how

many !mes the camera will be triggered by MECHA. Select 0 if no image

is needed.
