SR,Z,N,0x12,45x12,-45x12
If we want a pause before a row, we can add P in script before that row. For
example, this will set a pause just before the row, at 0°:
SP,Z,N,P0x12,45x12,-45x12
In the example above the pause is in%nite, and to con!nue, you need to
press w, the right bu"on of MECHA, or the equivalent UI bu"on, [RIGHT].
The S-Language also accepts precise values for the pause, of integer and
)oat type. For exemple,
2.5: means 2.; seconds. To cancel a pause whose
value is of integer or )oat type, you need to set another pause, of zero
seconds:
0:
S=90, 1=2.5:0_0, =0:_30, 11=45, 12=-45, 12=-90,
=90_0, =
EXAMPLE 2
In the Script text area, :: will be automa!cally replaced with = *equal
sign+, to allow more easy input from phones.
A simlilar case example as before, suppose we want to script a panorama
star!ng, again, from parked posi!on, made of 12 photos around, 3 rows in
total, at 0° and at 9/- 5;°, 9 zenith and nadir. In this case, we want zenith and
nadir to be taken at the end.
This way of scrip!ng is more complex, but allows more )exibility for a
par!cular shoo!ng pa"ern.
In the parked posi!on, the camera - mounted on the upper rail - is facing
up, as in the image above, and MECHA has to rotate the upper rail =0° to
photograph the %rst row, as required in our example. So, we specify the
parked start posi!on for MECHA-V as follows:
S=90.
If the start posi!on is raised, S=-90. For the level posi!on, S=0, or S= *S=0 is
equivalent to S=+.
Level Parked Raised Other
S=0 S=90 S=-90 S=45
