0-360 Panoramic Optic Setup for Sony DSC-H1
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 Optic). 4) Turn Mode Dial to "A" (Aperture Priority), and turn Power on. 5) First time setup: Press "MENU". Then use Control Button to set: ---METERING to "Spot" ---ISO (Sensitivity) to "100" ---QUALITY ( ) to "FINE" ---AF MODE to "Single" Press "MENU" again to continue. 6) Rotate Jog Dial (finger wheel) to access Aperture (F-number on right of screen). Press Jog Dial down and rotate until "F8.0" appears on screen. This is your Aperture (F-stop). 7) 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 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 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 (preferably 9 or 10). 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. With the Sony DSC-H1, you should be able to get a vFOV of approximately 110 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.

A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of an image. Set the mode dial to P, S, A or Scene in advance, then press repeatedly to display the histogram. The graph display indicates a bright image when skewed to the right side, a dark image when skewed to the left side. A histogram can be used to check the exposure and adjust EV.

To choose a focus method

You can change the focus method. Press the FOCUS button repeatedly when it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode.

Multi point AF ( )

Focuses automatically on a subject in all ranges of the finder frame. This mode is the default setting. When the mode dial is set to , only Multipoint AF is available.
This mode is useful when the subject is not in the center of the frame.

AF range finder frame

AF range finder frame indicator

Center AF ( )

Focuses automatically on a subject near the center of the frame.
Using this with the AF lock function lets you shoot in the desired image composition.

Flexible Spot AF ( )

Focuses on an extremely small subject or a narrow area. Flexible Spot AF lets you shoot in the desired image composition.
To set the Flexible Spot AF, see the following procedure. This is useful when you shoot using a tripod and the subject is out of the center area. When shooting a moving subject, take care to hold the camera steady so that the subject does not deviate from the range finder frame.

Manual focus

Focuses on the subject using a previously set distance to the subject.
To set distance, see the following procedure. When shooting a subject through a net or through window glass, it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode. In these cases, the manual focus mode is convenient.
AF stands for Auto Focus. When you are shooting movies, Multi point AF is recommended as the AF works even with a certain amount of vibration. When you use [Digital Zoom] or [AF Illuminator], priority AF movement is given to subjects in or near the center of the frame. In this case the , or indicator flashes and the AF range finder frame is not displayed.

Battery life of Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
The battery life is limited. The battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the battery operating time seems to have been considerably shortened, a probable cause is that the batteries have reached the end of their life. The battery life varies depending on storage, operating conditions, and environment, and is different for each battery.
On Oxy Nickel Primary Battery
Oxy Nickel Primary Battery have a shorter life compared to the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. For this reason, the power may turn off even though the battery remaining indicator shows sufficient battery life remaining. Battery performance differs greatly depending on the manufacturer and the type of battery, and in some cases the battery life may be extremely short. This is especially true at low temperatures, and you may not be able to shoot at temperatures below 5C (41F). Do not mix new and old batteries. The battery remaining indicator does not display the correct information when using Oxy Nickel Primary Battery. Due to characteristics of Oxy Nickel Primary Battery, there is a large difference between the available shooting time and the available playback time. For this reason, the camera may turn off with the lens portion extended when you switch the mode dial. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones or fully charged NickelMetal Hydride batteries.

Precautions

x Do not leave the camera in the following places
In an extremely hot place In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become deformed and this may cause a malfunction. Under direct sunlight or near a heater The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a malfunction. In a location subject to rocking vibration Near strong magnetic place In sandy or dusty places Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.
x On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera. Moisture condensation occurs easily when: The camera is brought from a cold location such as a ski slope into a warmly heated room The camera is taken from an air-conditioned room or car interior to the hot outdoors, etc. How to prevent moisture condensation When bringing the camera from a cold place to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the new location over about an hour. If moisture condensation occurs Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
