Sky-Watcher Multi-Purpose Computerized Mount - Manual (Page 15)

Easy Pano Mode
This is a simple and straightforward method for people just getting started in panoramic photography.
1.
Attach a camera to the AllView mount. If you are using a Canon DSLR camera, use the supplied electronic shutter release cable
to connect the SNAP output socket on the mount and the SNAP input socket of the camera. This will enable you to automatically
control the camera’s shutter snap (working in auto mode). The minimum duration of the snap time, from turn on to turn off, is
0.1 second and the maximum duration of the snap time will be more than 60 seconds. If you are using other brands of digital
cameras, manual-mode is necessary.
2. Turn the power on. The firmware version will display on the LCD screen, as shown in Fig. 31.
3. Press ENTER, the hand control will prompt you to select one of the operating modes, as shown in Fig.32. Use the scroll keys to
select Panoramic Mode. Press ENTER.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the Easy Pano Mode and press ENTER.
