3. Using the GigaPan EPIC

3.1 Start a new panorama

Taking panoramas with the EPIC is easy—just point it to the top-left and bottom-right corners
of your scene to get started.
1. Turn the EPIC on by holding down the Power/OK button.
The first menu item is 'New Panorama'.
2. Press OK to select 'New Panorama'. The EPIC will prompt you through the following
steps.
3. Set your camera to its full zoom level and press OK.
4. Use the directional keys to point the camera to the top left corner of your scene, and
press OK when you're ready.
5. Now use the directional keys to point the camera to the bottom right corner of your
scene, and press OK when you're ready.
While you're doing this, you'll be able to see how many horizontal and vertical pictures the
EPIC is going to take.
6. The EPIC will let you preview the panorama before it begins. Press OK if you want it to,
or press X to continue without a preview.
7. You'll now need to confirm if you want to go ahead with the panorama.
The EPIC will run you through a checklist before it starts taking pictures.
8. Watch the scene while the EPIC takes your panorama.
9. If someone steps into your frame, or if your camera misses a picture, press X to pause
the panorama and use the directional keys to go back to an earlier camera position.
