MECHA - Feature Wish-lists and Suggestions

[DorinDXN]

You can use the After sub-delay when enter the delay in W,B,E,A format (at custom values for delay) like in image where 1,1,1,3 was entered after selecting "custom"



That will tell Mecha to wait 3 seconds after each set of 2, the other values for W,B,E are set to 1 in this image but, of course, you can set to 0 or any values you want.

Thanks for the response. What I'm looking for is a longish delay (4 seconds) right after the camera stops rotating for each view, but preferably not have that 4 second delay for each bracket shot (entering 4 for B gives me the delay prior to every shot, which I don't need). That's not currently possible, it it?

It does what you want, the 3 seconds delay is after the entire set of 2 and is not after each shot.

Just did some testing; 1,4,1,1 is working well. Thanks.

Hi.
It's quite some time that no firmware upgrade has released.
I'm pretty interested now to features 1, 15 and 16 from first page wishlist.
When are you planning to release these features?

Thanks

Another major update coming soon. And it did take lots of time.
For 16, please try the gesture feature. That is exactly what you look for.

Hi Dorin, thanks for the quick firmware-fixes, didn't expect you do this on a sunday!


What i like to see in the far future is to split the E-value into two fields:

First the formula, like a dropdown with these or more selectable values:


Single Shot
=========
-0+ 1 EV
-0+ 1 1/3 EV
-0+ 1 2/3 EV
-0+ 2 EV
=========
+0- 1 EV
+0- 1 1/3 EV
+0- 1 2/3 EV
+0- 2 EV

Based on the selected entry the Mecha builds the first part of the current E-formula like 2*x or 4*x where „x“ is defined in the next step:

Here you define the shortest or longest exposure time like displayed in the camera (decimal or fractions) like:

...
1/1600
1/1200
1/1250
1/1000
1/800
1/640
1/500
1/400
1/320
...

The Mecha would convert these into decimal values so the user won't have to.

Splitting the E-value into these two ones would allow saving a preset with the bracketing pattern one mostly works with (so i nearly always work with 3x 2EV or 5x 1 2/3 EV) and to additional select the exposure time that matches the current scene.

What do you think? Wouldn't this make the process much easier?

Just a reminder for anyone reading this,

MECHA currently accepts also progressive values for E, like, say:

0.5*3 for progressive halved for E resulting in 3, 1.5, 0.75, 0.375 where 0.5 is for having the initial 3 and then the subsequent values
and
2*0.25 for progressive doubled values E resulting in 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 where 2 is for doubling the initial 0.25 and then the subsequent values

these results are for [4 IMG]
