0-360 Panoramic Optic Setup for Canon PowerShot Pro1
1) Mount camera on tripod, securely, with lens pointing vertically. 2) Press Ring Release button (front of camera) and unscrew lens ring. Replace with LA-DC58C thread adapter and +3 close-up ring. Thread 0-360 Optic to ring. (Do not overtighten.) 3) Adjust tripod until Optic is vertical (refer to bubble level on top of Optic). 4) Turn Power on. 5) Turn Mode Dial to "Av" (Aperture Priority) 6) First time setup: ---Press "MENU". Set "MF-Point Zoom" to "On". Press "MENU" again. ---Press "FUNC". Then use Omni Selector and Main Dial to set ISO to "100", Quality to "Superfine", and Image Size to "L" (3264x2448). Press "FUNC" again. 7) Rotate Main Dial to set Aperture (F-number on bottom of screen) to F8.0. 8) Press & hold MF(Manual Focus) button, and rotate Zoom ring until focus is set to ~50cm. Watching both the outer edge and center area of the reflector, adjust until both are focused. 9) 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 in the adapter gap to align to center.)
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 Panoramic Optic. 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 mirror to be in focus. With lower F-stops, the shutter speed can be increased, but the upper or lower portions (or both) of the mirror may not be entirely in focus. This means the image far above or far below the horizon may not be sharply focused. This may not be a problem, as many times the sky or the ground may not need to be sharply focused. The depth of field of the Canon Powershot Pro1 does not allow for the entire mirror to be shraply focused. With the Pro1, you should be able to get a vFOV of approx. 95-100 degrees, with good focus across the entire image. For best results, shoot a well-lit scene! With high F-Stops, you need good lighting, or longer exposure times.
10) Adjust Focus again, until both center and outside of mirror are sharply in focus. 11) Press Flash Button to turn flash off. (A will appear on screen)
12) Press Timer Button on top of camera to turn timer on. (A 13) Press the shutter release. You have 10 seconds to hide!
will appear on the screen)
14) Review the image. Zoom in to see that both the center and outside of the mirror are in focus. If not, adjust the Manual Focus and/or Aperture to obtain uniform focus. (The depth
of field of the Pro1 does not allow for the entire reflector to be sharply focused. You should be able to adjust the focus for a "happy medium", with most of the image sharp, and the edges getting soft.)
15) Once you get the proper settings, press "MENU", and select "Save Settings". This stores all of the settings in either 'C1' or 'C2'. Then, whenever shooting virtual tours, simply set the Mode Dial to 'C1' or 'C2', and the camera will be ready to shoot! A nice feature! 16) Advanced Users: Turn 'Bracketing' on to take multiple images at different exposures at the same time. You can composite these images later, or use a 3rd party HDR software package to increase the image's dynamic range.

Quick Start Guide

IMPORTANT!

Cautions

Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the compact power adapter to charge the battery pack or power the camera. Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage. Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap. Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns. Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash. Ensure that the battery charger is plugged into a power outlet of the specified rating, not over the specified rating. The plug of the battery charger varies according to region. Do not use the battery charger or compact power adapter if the cable or plug is damaged, or if the plug is not fully inserted into the power outlet. Do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to contact the charger terminals or plug. If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please take care when operating the camera for an extended period as your hands may experience a burning sensation.
Preventing Malfunctions Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

Changing the File Format

The recording file format can be switched to the RAW format before shooting the image. With the standard JPEG file format, the camera processes images after capturing them to produce optimal results. The JPEG format compresses images so that more can be stored on a single CF card. However, the compression is irreversible, meaning that the original image data cannot be recovered after processing. In contrast, the RAW format records the image data as captured by the cameras CCD without further processing. RAW images are compressed, but the compression is reversible* so that a highquality image can be obtained from the decompressed file without any loss of image quality. In addition, although a RAW file is larger than an equivalent JPEG file, it is still only approximately onequarter the size* of an uncompressed RGB TIFF format file, making it relatively compact. With standard uncompressed file formats, such as RGB TIFF, images are processed in the camera and require further processing by retouching software to adjust the image parameters, which reduces image quality. With the RAW format, however, the original data can be used in special software** to adjust the image parameters (white balance, contrast, sharpness and saturation) making it possible to maintain the image quality while making changes. The resolution (3264 x 2448) and compression settings cannot be adjusted for these images.

Super Macro is canceled when you do any of following operations: Press the MENU button (If you press the button again, the menu will disappear.) Select another shooting mode Set the camera to Playback mode Turn the power off The zoom position moves within the recordable area.
Super Macro Mode (continued)
Shooting procedures are the same as for the mode (p. 53). During Super Macro mode, only the optical zoom operates even when the digital zoom is set to On. The zoom bar appearing during zoom operation indicates the following movable zoom range in Super Macro mode: 42 to 90 mm (35mm film equivalent). The MF indicator appearing in manual focus mode also shows the movable range of the zoom. Be careful not to bang the lens against the subject when shooting in Super Macro mode. Super Macro mode does not work properly when any separately sold lens is attached to the camera. [Super Macro] cannot be selected when [Converter] in the Rec. menu is set to anything other than [None]. Recordable areas at the minimum shooting range are as follows:
Zoom Position Recordable Area (35mm film equivalent) 42 mm Approximately 44 x 33 mm (1.7 x 1.3 in.) 90 mm Approximately 35 x 26 mm (1.4 x 1.0 in.)
You can select [Super Macro] in C1 and C2 (Custom) modes. However, Super Macro mode cannot be memorized in those Custom modes.

With the combined optical and digital zoom functions, images can be zoomed as follows: 8.8x, 11x, 14x, 18x and 22x.

Setting the Aperture (continued)
Depending on the zoom position, certain aperture values may not be available. See page 202 for settings that can be changed in this mode. Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at slow shutter speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on the LCD monitor (or in the viewfinder), secure the camera to a tripod before shooting. In this mode, the shutter speed with synchronized flash is 1/60 second to 1/250 second. The aperture value setting may therefore be changed automatically to match the synchronized flash speed even if its value was set previously.

Aperture Setting Display

The larger the aperture value, the smaller the lens aperture.

In M mode or when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual], the flash will fire with manual adjustments. The maximum flash synchro shutter speed in this case is 1/250 second. Set the aperture to an appropriate value according to the flashs guide number and the distance to the subject. Check the cameras ISO sensitivity setting since the flashs guide number will change with the ISO value. When [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual], the flash output can be adjusted. When [Flash Adjust] is set to [Auto] the flash exposure compensation can be adjusted (p. 107). In M mode or when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual], the output of an externally mounted flash can be adjusted in the flash output adjustment screen (p. 108). When a Speedlite 550EX, a Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or a Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX is mounted on the camera, you can adjust the flash output from either the flash or the camera. (The flash setting overrides the camera setting when both are set.) To set it from the flash, you are recommended to use the flashs manual mode. You can also adjust the flash output even when the camera is set to the E-TTL automatic flash exposure compensation mode by changing the flash exposure compensation setting. In this situation, the +2 step setting fires the flash at full intensity. To shoot with the flash, you are recommended to set the white balance to the (Flash) setting.
