● [Live NPP] button — Displays the instructions for determining the NPP
along lens axis using camera live view, as follows:
○ Use two vertical reference points with one far behind the other. Turn
on live view mode. Position tripod to line them up at image center.
Use grid and magnified view for greater accuracy.
○ Scroll left to see the reference points. Slide the lens back or forth to
line them up, being careful not to move the tripod!
○ Scroll right to see the reference points. Carefully slide the lens back
or forth to line them up, if needed.
○ Check if the reference points are still perfectly lined up at image
center. Nudge tripod to line them up, if needed.
○ Check if the reference points are lined up to the same extent as in the
last step. Carefully adjust to achieve similar alignment.
○ End of Live NPP procedure. Repeat the process to confirm alignment,
if needed.
● TRG — Number of camera triggers for each position. Select zero if no
trigger is needed. When using automatic exposure bracketing in
continuous shooting or self-timer mode, MECHA treats it as 1 trigger. In
our example: 1 trigger, no bracketing.
● AF (Auto-Focus) — Duration of AF signal time, for example, 0.05. If the
value is negative, the AF signal will be ON during the entire image
sequence. In order to trigger the camera, for some Sony cameras, you
have to set an AF value greater than zero, even if the camera focus is set
to manual.
● W (Wake) — Pause for camera wake-up. If the value is negative, the pause
will be forced even when the camera is ON, before each sequence
begins. Also, it will force a B (Before) delay in case of B: not zero. A small
negative value, under 1 second – for example, W:-0.9 s, or W:-0.1 s – will
trigger the Wake signal, which is a focus signal, before every position
instead of only at the beginning of a session. Useful for moving out of the
camera's view.
