When you click/tap the OK button, MECHA creates a script for you to shoot a
full panorama, according to the focal length provided:
The settings provided by the script have priority over the other settings.
6. To start shooting, press either the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] button.
7. To further simplify this process, we recommend that you save the current
settings as a preset. For example, click / tap the [Save 2] button to overwrite
the default Button 2 preset, which is assigned to the
+
button by default
(see Saving a Preset for more details).
Next time you need to shoot this type of panorama:
○ either load the preset using the [Load 2] button, and execute it with the
[LEFT] or [RIGHT] button
○ or execute the preset directly using the
+>
or
+<
button
combinations.
Next, we present an example of a MSS script similar to the one above, but with
a larger image overlap, resulting in 12 photos per row.
MSS Script Explained
Considering the quite popular shooting pattern made with kit lenses around
29mm (FF equiv), that consists in:
1. one row of 12 positions at a tilt of 0° (horizontally)
2. another row of 12 positions at a tilt of +45°
3. another row of 12 positions at a tilt of -45°
