Recommended Camera settings for OneShot360™

Attach the OneShot360 unit, and power the camera on.

∙Zoom: Use the Zoom to exactly fill the digital camera LCD viewer screen with the circular image. Use the zoom lever on the top of the camera, around the shutter button. If you zoom in too much, you will lose part of the field of view. If you zoom in too little, you will not get maximum resolution. Note also that the OneShot image may not be exactly centered in the LCD screen – this is normal.

∙Flash: Make sure the flash is disabled by pressing the flash/index button (lightning bolt symbol) located above the LCD screen on the upper left of the back of the camera. Press the button until you see the “flash off” icon on the LCD.

∙ISO setting: RemoteReality recommends using ISO sensitivity of 100 or less.

∙Focus: To focus your OneShot image, use the Manual Focus function. Adjust the focal distance until a setting of 3 meters (or 9 ¾ ft.) is displayed on the LCD screen.

∙Aperture: Put your Canon PowerShot camera in aperture priority mode by turning the top mode dial to Av, the symbol for aperture priority. Adjust the Omni Selector left/right to an f-stop of 7.1.

∙White Balance: Set the white balance by pushing the +/- WB button (to the right of the LCD screen) twice. Then select AWB for Auto White Balance, which is fine for most shots.

NOTE: You can use shutter priority mode, as long as you use a shutter speed that would give you the desired f# of 7.1. Also, make sure you are using a tripod when shooting with a slow shutter speed.

Press the MENU button and use arrow buttons to:

∙Image Size: Under the Resolution menu, set the image size to L (2272x1704) for best quality.

∙Self-timer:Select the self-timer by pressing the self-timer button on top of the camera.
