If you want to change lens/focal length a.k.a field of view then you navigate from
the start-up menu page ("New Panorama") by the use of up and down keys to get to
the Gigapan setup page..

Just like the first time setup of the

If you intend to make low light shootings with the Gigapan Imager you might want to
change frame interval timing, this is how to do that.

...the instructions.

To change interval time just use the
up/down buttons and hit the OK
when done.

"Time per pic" display shows again.
Hit X to exit this menu.


In the "Options" menu you also find a "Expert options" menu.
Lets take a look at this Experts options menu.
1Expert options

In the Expert options menu you will find.

  1. Checklist
  2. Shutter method
  3. Button hold
1Checklist 3Checklist on

The checklist can be turned off in
case you get fed up with it.
Then you won't get the precautions

Set to full zoom, flash off, AE off,
AF off, Auto White balance off etc.

4Checklist off

You can also select 3 different shutter release methods by using the
up and down buttons as follows.
Button pusher is default, manual is :0/ manual.
And digital is for the future.. (To trigger an infrared remote or wired remote shutter release)
1Shutter method 2Manual
3Button pusher 4Digital


Button hold is for setting the time button pusher will hold the shutter
release button pressed, might be handy to use if the camera in use acts strange
when the pre selected button hold time is used.

Use up/down buttons to change time and hit OK when done.

1Button hold 1Button hold time shown


And finaly if you get lost in the settings there is the "Factory reset :0)
And then you have to start over again like when the unit first came out of the box!
