Programmed moves:
Setup is 2-point SMS or 2 Point Video: Use the up and down D-Pad on the remote or
the 8 ways switch to navigate through the setup screens, there are 4 of them. Center
button on the spectrum navigation joystick is the same as X on the remote.
You need to select (highlight) a value to change it. You do this by using the Center
button on the spectrum navigation joystick, or the X on the remote.
During the setup process, when choosing values, the DPads up/down buttons on the
remote move values the smallest amount. Using the DPads left right increments larger
values.
Parameters defined:
1. Type:
a. 2 Point SMS TL: This stands for a 2-point shoot-move-shoot timelapse
shot. If you are shooting timelapse and want the spectrum to trigger your
camera to shoot, select this shot type.
b. 2 Point Video: This stands for a 2-point video shot. If you are shooting a
continuous video move, select this shot type.
2. StartPoint: This is where your move will start. Once highlighted, control and
move all 4-axis to the point where you would like your move to start.
3. End Point: This is where your move will end. Once highlighted, control and move
all 4-axis to the point where you would like your move to end.
4. Interval (SMS TL): Interval is your frame rate for timelapse or stop-frame
animation. If you select a 2.0 second interval, the eMotimo spectrum will trigger
your camera to start a shot every 2.0 seconds. If you want to speed time more,
select a longer interval (good for shots taken over a long duration of time). If you
want to speed time less, select a smaller interval (good for shots taken over a
short duration of time). Interval time always needs to be set longer than the
exposure time set on your camera. TIP: When shooting long exposures, set your
interval to twice your cameras shutter speed.
5. Static Time (SMS TL): Static time is the amount of time the spectrum remains
stationary while triggering your camera. As a rule of thumb, take your camera’s
exposure time and add 0.1 seconds onto it. For example, if you are shooting a 2.0
second exposure, select a 2.1 second static time. If you are shooting daytime
shots with 1/100th sec. exposure, use default of 0.1 seconds static time.
6. Moving shots (SMS TL): Select how many frames you want your move to take.
Based on what you set your interval at and how many frames you want in your
