Using Your Software - Kolor PANOGEAR PACK User Manual

4. Using your software


Papywizard can be used in two distinct ways: Mosaic mode and Preset mode. Here we will explain the easiest: Mosaic mode.

First of all, you need to define certain parameters that are necessary for the software to function correctly.
Papywizard's Configuration menu. (The parameters that are not indicated here are optional parameters).
a) Shooting

The Shooting tab allows you to define the camera orientation
whether it be portrait or landscape mode (uniquely when using the
simple bracket or the L-bracket).

With stabilization delay, you are able to regulate the delay between
the motorized head's last movement and the camera's trigger.
Increase the value if your photos are blurry.
b) Mosaic

With the Mosaic tab, you are able to define the overlap between
images (a minimum value of 25 to 30% is recommended).

"Start from" allows you to define in what order you would like the
sequence to be executed.

"Initial direction" allows you to define the type of scanning
sequence.
c) Camera

The "camera" tab allows you to modify the width of the shutter triggering pulse generated by the motorized head (if the
camera triggers more than once, reduce the pulse. If, on the contrary, the camera does not trigger, increase the duration).

The sensor setting is very important; it must be set according to your camera's specifications. For a "full-frame" camera,
indicate 1. For cameras that are not full-frame, indicate the multiplier coefficient according to the manufacturer's
specifications. (For Canon, it is often a ratio of 1.6 and for Nikon it is 1.5).

Last, underneath indicate your camera's sensor resolution.
d) Lens

The "lens" tab allows you to choose the lens type. In Mosaic mode,
only rectilinear lenses are possible (these are classic lenses, not
fisheye).

Choose the focal length then indicate the optical multiplier
coefficient (when using a rectilinear lens only).

Validate the settings to go back to Papywizard's principal screen.
(If you haven't already done it, attach your camera to the
attachment zone and reconnect the trigger cable from your camera
to the motorized head).
