3.3.5 AutomaticReturn



WhenStackShotfinishesaseriesofstepsyouhavetheoptionofreturningtothebeginning

positionautomatically(“AutoReturn”setto“Yes”).Thisisusefulifyouwanttochangea

camerasettingandbeginanothersetofpictures.Tochangethissetting,usetheUPor

DOWNbuttons.Whensetto“No”,StackShotwillleavethecameraatthefinalposition.

itsinitialposition.If“AutoReturn”hadbeensetto“No”,therailwouldhaveremainedat

3.3.6 MotorSpeed



Themotorspeed(“Speed”)isanadjustableparameter.Whynotsetthespeedtothe

maximum?Therearetwodrawbacksfromgoingfaster:



12



1. Itwilllikelyincreasethesettletimerequired.

2. Asspeedincreases,motortorquedecreases.ThiscancauseStackShotto“slip”and

notmovetherailproperly.

Thedefaultwillworkformostapplications,butifyouseetherailnotmovingproperly

(becauseyou’reusinga12000mmprimelenstofocus‐stackyourneighbor’sforehead),and

thetorqueissetatmaximum,tryslowingdownthemotorspeed.

3.3.7 TimeLapseInterval

Thetimelapseinterval(“Tlapse”)determinesthetimetakenbetweenstacks.Whensetto

“off”therailperformsonestackatatime(normaloperation).Whensettovalueotherthan

“off”,time‐lapsemodeisenabled.Thisfeatureallowstheperiodic captureofasequenceof

images.Anexamplewherethismaybehelpfulwouldbestackingaflowerbloomingover

time.Ifthe“Tlapse”timeisfasterthanthetimeittakestocompleteastackitwillskipthat

time‐lapseeventandwaitforthenextinterval.Theintervalmaybeadjustedfrom100ms

upto24hours.
