MECHA User’s Guide v.05.4 ! Dual Axis

!on for MECHA-H from the previous posi!on *return to the star!ng posi-

!on+.

Remember that

=0 is level, =90 is parked, =-90 is raised, as for the nadir.

These sequences can be used for start and end posi!ons.

EXAMPLE 5a

Another example of shoo!ng star!ng from the parked posi!on.

S=90,1=30_0,=_3,119=_0,=_-3,

S=90, means start posi!on is parked.

1=30_0, means 1 photo in the %rst posi!on, which is at a rota!on of 30° for

MECHA-V, and 0° for MECHA-H.

=_3, from here, there are 3° rota!on for MECHA-H un!l

119=_0 a'er the posi!on 11=, where the rota!on for MECHA-H becomes

0°.

=_-3, from then on, the rota!on is -3° for MECHA-H, and it will con!nue to

be -3° un!l the end, which can be at 200 if you select 200 Shots, No Repeat,

Scripted.

119 is the posi!on a'er 1st posi!on, where MECHA-H rota!on changes

from 3 to 0, and a'er that it is changed in -3. As there are no changes for

MECHA-V, we have only =30, and the rest is the equal sign and nothing

a'er *Z+.

Remember _ *underscore+ refers to MECHA-H, and = *equal sign+ refers to

MECHA-V.

If you wonder why MECHA counts from the last posi!on instead of

having absolute posi!ons, here are some reasons:

1. a panorama o'en consists of rows of images, each row at a

certain !lt, so

2. you can repeat a piece of script, thus in the case of a gigapixel

panorama you have to write less.
