Can the GigaPan system perform continuous pan and tilt movement? Will it do this in Time Lapse? |

The continuous pan and tilt movement is currently not possible with the GigaPans imagers; they pan and tilt, stopping at each position to take a picture. In regards to Time Lapse, the EPIC Pro will shoot the entire gigapixel image then wait x amount of time and reshoot the same gigapixel image. It will not create a time lapse between the pictures within the gigapixel set. |

I tried getting my epic 100 to do a panning timelapse – I set it to just shoot a single row of images and set the camera fov to be 0.1 degree which is the min FOV. The idea was to set the field of view to be tiny so the gigapan would make very short movements between images. Then I set the epic to shoot a 1-row 360 degree pano. Turns out the max columns is 255 which wouldn’t be smooth enough for a timelapse. As an aside, does this mean there is a max resolution you can shoot with a gigapan head (255x max # rows x max camera resolution)? |
