Character Entry; Changing Operating Modes - Cognisys STACKSHOT 3X Owner's Manual

3.2.3 Character Entry

There are sometimes when you may need to enter characters, numbers, or symbols. Here are
two examples:
1. You can specifically name a stored setting (or profile) for what the current setup does – for
example using a 65mm lens at 2x magnification photographing a flies head labeled "65mm
2x fly". That way next time you want to get back to frequently used settings it's easily
identifiable.
2. Entering your WiFi/802.11 router password. Thankfully you'll only have to do this once!
The character entry screen is similar to the distance entry – just with a lot more options. The
first screen shown is all capital letters. In the upper-right corner there is the "return" (get me
out of here!), and in the bottom right "accept". In the bottom left there is the "DEL" button,
which will delete your last entered character (backspace – but the abbreviation "BS" seemed
inappropriate). You'll notice right above the "DEL" button is "abc". Since all the letters on this
screen are capital letters, if you touch this button it will change to lower-case. Once in lower-
case mode you'll see it shows "123". If you touch the "123" button you'll be in number/symbol
mode. Pressing the ABC/abc/123 will cycle you through the three character entry screens.

4. Changing Operating Modes

An operating mode is just a way of telling StackShot 3X what you want to do – because it can do
a lot! There are three main categories for the operating mode:
1. Focus Stacking
2. Panoramic
3. Motion Control
Each of these modes has more specific applications beneath it.
