4.7 Save/Load Config

There are three configuration memories, config A, B, and C, that you can use to save
settings. These configurations may allow you to save a significant amount of time
switching between lenses or cameras.
Saving or Loading a configuration:
1. From the main menu, select the "Options" submenu and press "OK"
2. Select the "Save/Load Config" menu item and press "OK"
3. Select one of the configuration memory locations, A, B, or C, and press "OK"

4.8 Last Pic Hold

When the "Last Pic Hold" function is set to "ON", the GigaPan will keep the half button
press signal asserted so that the camera is ready for the next panorama. This is very useful
for time lapse panoramas.
1. From the main menu, select the "Options" submenu and press "OK"
2. From the "Options" submenu, select the "Expert Options" submenu, and press "OK"
3. Select the "Last Pic Hold" menu item and press "OK"
4. Select "ON" and press "OK"

4.9 Shutter Feedback

The "Shutter Feedback" function tells the GigaPan whether the shutter was triggered by
using the strobe signal from the PC connector or hotshoe. When "Shutter Feedback" is set
to "ON", and a cable is connected along with a shutter speed that is less than 1/250s, the
camera will attempt to take a photograph the number of times set in the "Shutter Retries"
function.
1. From the main menu, select the "Options" submenu and press "OK"
2. From the "Options" submenu, select the "Expert Options" submenu, and press "OK"
3. Select the "Shutter Feedback" menu item and press "OK"
4. Select the "ON" setting and press "OK"
5. The "Shutter Retries" menu item will now appear in the menu since "Shutter Feedback"
is set to "ON". Select "Shutter Retries" and press "OK"
6. Select the number of times that you want the GigaPan to retry triggering the shutter
and press "OK"
7. Connect the optional user supplied cable's PC end to the camera body's PC port.
Connect the mini plug end of the cable to the remote trigger port of the GigaPan. The
remote trigger port is located underneath the right-hand side of the GigaPan LCD panel.
Note, you can buy a hotshoe adapter if your camera does not have a PC port.
NOTE: The "Shutter Feedback" function is good at detecting when the shutter has not
been actuated, but may not detect a successful trigger after a failure. So, once you see that
a shutter failure has occurred, watch the retries by the GigaPan.
