1. ndo IIMVAOWV D A note about Aperture Depth of Field and Field of View Aperture a mechanism behind the camera lens similar to the iris of your eye opening and closing to adjust the amount of light entering the camera The aperture opening also determines the Depth of Field of the image Depth of Field describes the objects in the image which are in focus in terms of their distance from the camera For example a camera focused at 30m with a Depth of Field of 8m will have objects from 26 34m from the camera in focus Objects closer than 26m or further than 34m will start to become blurry Field of View the vertical Field of View vFOV of the 0 360 attachment The 0 360 has a vFOV of 115 degrees meaning it will see from 52 5 above the horizon to 62 5 below the horizon A smaller Aperture opening higher F Stop number allows less light to enter the camera but yields a higher Depth of Field With a high F Stop the shutter speed needs to be slowed down to allow more light else a dark photo but will have more Depth of Field in focus A larger Aperture opening lower F Stop number allows more light to enter the camera but a lower Depth of Field This means the shutter speed can be faster but fewer objects will be in focus With slower shutter speeds moving objects may blur The 0 360 is designed to operate with a camera F Stop of F8 0 or higher This provides a high enough Depth of Field to allow the entire mir2. 0 360 Panoramic Optic Setup for MINOLTA Z1 Z2 Z3 1 Mount Camera to tripod securely with lens pointing vertically 2 Thread 0 360 Panoramic Optic with thread adapter to camera Do not overtighten 3 Adjust tripod until Optic is vertical refer to bubble level on top of unit 4 Turn Power on 5 Turn top Mode dial to A Aperture Priority 6 Press Menu button then use Arrows to set gt Image Size to highest setting 2272x1704 for Z3 gt Drive Mode to Self Timer X gt White Balance to Auto gt Quality to Fine gt Focus Mode to Manual gt Sensitivity ISO to 100 7 Press Flash button on top of camera to turn flash off 8 Adjust Zoom until image of mirror just fills frame from top to bottom NOTE Depending on your camera s threads the image may be slightly off center This is normal A trick is to use a thin piece of paper or tape as a shim between camera amp Optic to align to center 9 Press bottom arrow of Arrow Pad to set MF Manual Focus to 0 19m 10 Press center button of Arrow Pad to set Aperture to F8 0 This is your Aperture F stop 11 Press the shutter release You have 10 seconds to hide Not Zoomed in enough Zoomed in too far 01010 Donut doesn t fill frame Proper Zoom Donut fills frame Donut runs off top amp bottom of frame pIND LIS AIND abed y2eq uo SUO DNAJSU 3412 BY Peal aseald iLNVLYOdWI Z TZ LZ VLIONIW Y IM aSN 10 SUOI INA SU
