Menu Options Glossary for Firmware Version 171
Main Menu
New Panorama – Sets the upper left photo and lower right photo that defines the rectan-
gular area of the panorama.
360 Panorama – Sets the upper pitch and the lower pitch of a panorama that is 360 de-
grees and completes a full circle.
Options – Contains submenus that allow you to change more settings.
Test Shutter - Allows you to optionally test your settings such as single shutter, multiple
shutters, exposure bracketing, and or mirror flip-up before starting the capture of a
panorama. To set, Select 'Test Shutter' from the menu. Once you press the OK button the
EPIC Pro will trigger the camera with the current settings.
Panorama Memory – Recalls the previous panorama or a previously saved panorama. Also
allows you to save a panorama. When you save a panorama you must also set a reference
point. The reference point provides a method to orient the EPIC Pro body in the same posi-
tion. The reference point is in addition to placing the tripod in the same location.
Camera Setup – Any time you change the camera, lens, or zoom lens focal length you need
to do a camera setup. 'Camera Setup' determines the coverage of a single photograph by
measuring the vertical angles that the lens and camera sensor sees. Choose a unique point
and move the lens so that the point is at the top of the lens. Then move the lens so that the
unique point is at the bottom of the lens. Then the EPIC Pro knows the vertical angles and
calculates the horizontal angle of view using the aspect ratio. The EPIC Pro also accounts for
image overlap which has a default setting of 30%.
Move Camera – Moves the camera and lens from left to right and up and down using the
directional keys.
