MECHA User’s Guide v.05.4 ! Dual Axis

As for the previous row, things goes the same for another 11 photos, and at

the 12th photo MECHA-V has to rotate at -=0°, which is the posi!on for

nadir, so we have to add

12=-90, and the script becomes:

S=90, 1=0_0, =_30, 11=45, 12=-45, 12=-90,

Finally, we only need a posi!on for the zenith photo, at 0° from the nadir,

for MECHA-H. So we have to add

=90_0, _0 is to tell that the previous

posi!on and the next posi!on are 0° apart.

So, now the script is:

S=90, 1=0_0, =_30, 11=45, 12=-45, 12=-90,

=90_0,

To complete the script, now we can add an equal sign =, which in other

cases can be omi"ed. Now, our %nal script is:

S=90, 1=0_0, =_30, 11=45, 12=-45, 12=-90,

=90_0, =

which you can see in the above image, as well.

Xust a side note. The script allows to have some pieces of the code in a loop,

and much less code to enter, especially in the case of gigapixel panoramas.

This feature will be exempli%ed later.

Before launching the panorama, enter 38 in the number of shots %eld, via

custom op!on, then click/tap on either [RIGHT] or [LEFT] bu"ons.

We(ll explain in another example how to tell MECHA to wait, or to take extra

shots, on a par!cular orienta!on, so on.

EXAMPLE 3

Same as example 1, but for 8 shots around on each row instead of 12.

S=90, 1=0_0, =_30, 11=45, =_45, 7=-45, 8=-90,

=90_0, =

Before launching the panorama, enter 26 in the number of shots %eld, via

custom op!on, then click on either [RIGHT] or [LEFT] bu"ons.
