Thank you for your purchase of an iPIX® Camera Kit featuring the Nikon Coolpix digital camera. With your kit, you can shoot and build immersive iPIX images in a matter of minutes. iPIX images enable you to “step inside” an environment—exploring up, down, and all around. It is a solu- tion that has proven valuable for many markets, including real estate, travel, publishing, education, training, and journalism.

This book describes the steps to set up your equipment, establish settings on your camera to optimize it for iPIX photography, and download your images to your computer.

Two of the most important camera kit components are the fisheye lens and rotator. The fisheye lens attaches to your camera and broadens the field of view (FOV) of your camera’s fixed lens. The rotator lets you turn your camera exactly 180°—capturing one 180° picture, or “hemisphere.” Two hemispheres are used to create an iPIX image.

The Fisheye Lens attaches to the camera’s fixed lens.

The Rotator attaches to the camera base and the tripod.
