These are the default presets assigned to the three bu�ons of MECHA. If the
results are as expected, it means that they have not been overwri�en yet,
and you can use them to take panoramas from 4, 6 and 8 shots around with
camera mounted. Later in this guide, we will see that these presets can be
overwri�en.
MECHA's firmware act as the device's complete opera�ng system, perform-
ing all control, monitoring and data manipula�on func�ons, and it's impor-
tant to have the latest version installed.
However, if you prefer not to update at this �me, or you're not comfortable

Firmware update using the smartphone: method 1
This update method is available star�ng with firmware version 02118.
For this simple method of upda�ng the firmware, we assume that you know
how to set up a hot-spot on your 3G, or 4G, smartphone, a smartphone with
mobile data enabled and Internet available to it. In other words, you can
navigate the Internet using that smartphone alone, without the
smartphone being connected to a Wi-Fi.
