Shooting in Step-by-Step Mode
● In Config (C) Menu, find the STEP by STEP is OFF option and activate it by
pressing the
S
button.
● In Preset (P) Menu, find the preset you want to use and, depending on the
preset type, launch it as shown above.
● STEP by STEP being ON, MECHA pauses before each position and waits for
you to press the
>
button to take the photo and go to the next position,
resulting in step-by-step movement.
● Press the
<
button to exit step-by-step mode and continue automatically.
● There is no need to change STEP by STEP from ON to OFF, as this change is
done automatically.
Custom Partial Panorama Using Two Corners
When creating a preset using the C2’s Preset Menu, one can set a Coverage area
less than 360°x180° if a partial panorama is needed. But this partial panorama is
vertically centered. To be able to shoot a custom partial panorama, MECHA
needs to know the upper left corner and down right corner of the area to be
photographed. Let’s see how this can be done.
● Launch any preset created using C2's Preset Menu by pressing the
S
button when the preset name is shown on the display (remember that this
type of preset has the plus sign at the beginning of its name). The display will
show Set POSITION, as in the image below.
● If necessary, position the upper rail as required in the preset by using the
arrow buttons. In our example, notice that the position is level.
● Press the
=
button and note that the display shows Up Left, as in the image
below, which means that now the upper left corner should be set.
