Capturing an image
From the Start Menu, press the
icon to navigate to the
Capture/View Screen. You can capture a panoramic image via
three methods: Delay Capture; TimeLapse or Walk Around Mode.
Delay Capture
To capture an image using the capture delay timer, press the
icon. This will start the delay capture countdown allowing
you to remove yourself from the scene and out of the image.
(The delay time can be changed in the settings menu.) During the
countdown there is an audible tone and the live panoramic view
from the camera will be shown onscreen.
TimeLapse
To capture an image using the TimeLapse function, press the
icon to start the countdown timer. To stop the capture press
the “Stop” button. Images will be captured at the time interval
specified within the Settings > Capture > TimeLapse screen. See
Section 9 Settings: Capture for instructions on how to set the
interval.

7. Image Capture
Walk Around Mode
Capturing in “Walk Around Mode” allows you to capture an image
in two steps. This allows you to “walk around” the camera to
avoid being in the image.
1. To capture in this mode, press the
icon and follow the
onscreen instructions.
2. Tap one arrow, then stand away at that corner of iSTAR. Within
5 seconds you will capture half the panorama. Press abort to
return to the “Capture” screen.
3. Follow the on screen instructions and position yourself on
the other side of the camera to capture the other half of the
panorama.
Once the panorama has been captured, iSTAR will begin to process
the image/sand save them to the SD Card or USB stick. Whilst
processing, it is safe to move the camera to the next location or to
remove it from a tripod or monopod.
IMPORTANT: whilst processing please do not switch off the
camera, remove the battery, or power supply as this will result
in your images being lost. The processing percentage time
will be displayed on screen. Once this is complete, the screen
will automatically display the “Image Review” screen. (For
information, see Image Review).
