9.

You can adjust the Simple Mode power by moving the joystick

UP/DOWN (Y direction).

Power 40 is the default setting.

If you are moving the camera on a vertical and need more power, slowly

increase this number and test until you get the results you need. For a

totally vertical move with a standard DSLR camera, try adjusting power

to 70 - 80.

If you need your camera to move in the opposite direction of the

default, use a negative number for Simple Mode power. This will

reverse the direction of the motor and subsequently, the direction of the

camera movement.

If your move is going from left to right in Simple Mode with a power

of 40, changing the Simple Mode default power to -40 will reverse the

direction to right from left.

10. Press

ENTER to Save or cancel your changes.

11. Press

ENTER to Save or press MENU to Cancel

After completing the Simple Mode power adjustments and

your test results are favorable, re-run the time lapse calibration

to correct for the new motor power setting.

Quick Tip:

To determine what power to level to enter, set up your rig in the

position you intend to use. In live mode, turn the power dial all the way

down. Move the joystick in the direction you need the camera to move

and slowly turn the power dial up until you get a smooth, non-pulsing

move. Make note of the power reading on the screen and use this num-

ber for your Simple Mode Power level.
