● Load — The options for Load are: Custom, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Ring.
These are optimized motion profiles for a rated load. We encourage you to try
them all, to see which one is best for the camera and lens you are using, or
for what you want to do. You may prefer the Heavy option, even if you use a
light camera.
● [N x LEFT] button — Shoots & rotates counterclockwise for N positions with
the degrees interval specified above, regardless of the number of shots
specified in the Shots field.
For example, if you want to take 3 shots 45° apart to the left, set the degrees
of rotation to 45°, and the number of positions to 3, as in the image below, and
click the [3 x LEFT] button.
● [Shoot] button — Shoots the number of photos in a set for a single position.
In our example, 1 photo (1 TRG) is taken. Use this feature when you want to
take some photos in a certain position, without any rotation.
● [N x RIGHT] button — The same as [N x LEFT], but the shooting and rotation
are done clockwise.
● [Cancel] button — Executes a smooth stop and a rewind to the initial position,
where the preset has started.
● [PAUSE] button — Pauses the current running preset. Click/tap again this
button to continue.
○ The 21< code switches MECHA to or off pause mode, the same as
clicking the [Pause] button on UI, or on IR Remote.
○ While MECHA is in pause mode, the text „PAUSE” is shown on C2’s
display.
