Frequently asked questions
1 Q: How does it work?
A: The basic process is to take three photographs in each room – upload these to the software and then export them – once this is done you have a panoramic tour – more detailed information under hardware and software
2 Q: How does that hardware work?
A: Simple, assemble the rotator and lens as specified by the manufacturer – put this on your camera and attach it to a high quality tripod. Once this is done ensure that the rotator is firmly locked into the first stop and then take your first photo – move the rotator clockwise until it clicks firmly into place in the second stop and take your second photo – move the rotator clockwise until it clicks firmly into place in the third and final stop and take your third picture – repeat in the other rooms
• Important things to remember is to move it clockwise – put the tripod in the centre of the room and not move it at all! If you touch or move the tripod you will have to start over again only move the rotator itself!
