360° Panoramic Photograph Function
The Z15-5D III (HD) has a new 360° panoramic photograph function, which is controlled by the AUX1
channel. Toggle the AUX1 switch once to activate the function, and toggle it again to turn the function off.
Once the function is activated, the gimbal will adjust to a tilt angle of 0°. The pan axis will rotate, and every 30°
the camera will take a photo. It will complete a 360° rotation, taking 12 photos along the way.
After that, the gimbal will adjust to a tilt angle of 30°. The pan axis will rotate, and every 30° the camera will
take a photo. It will complete a 360° rotation, taking 12 photos along the way.
Next, the gimbal will adjust to a tilt angle of 60°. The pan axis will rotate, and every 30° the camera will take a
photo. It will complete a 360° rotation, taking 12 photos along the way.
Last, the gimbal will adjust to a tilt angle of 90° and take 1 photo.
The camera will capture a total of 37 photos, with the entire process taking about 100 seconds.
During the procedure, you cannot use the remote control to move the gimbal. If you want to stop the
procedure, toggle the AUX1 switch once and the gimbal will return to its normal operating mode.
The gimbal will stay in place for 1.5 seconds for every photo capture. Set up the proper exposure
time and focus mode so that both can be completed within 1.5 seconds.
