Abstract
We will be addressing automated and currently non-automated camera
controls for professional photographers, specifically in the area of
panoramic photo shoots. The main purpose is to centralize all currently
automated and non-automated camera controls into one easily controllable
handheld device. To do this, our project solution will incorporate as
many off the shelve products as possible, and adapt those products to
redefine them meeting our own solution’s needs. We will be using the Two
Technologies, Inc. 80-series handheld interface device, and interconnect
this handheld device with the camera to address the aperture settings
carefully. Among the functions available through the handheld device
will be the full range of shutter and other aperture settings, automated
film advancement, Pan-Tilt position settings, and automated optical
focus viewfinder parameters. To automate those controls that currently
require manual operation such as the film advancement and optical view
finding, we will mostly use IMS programmable stepper motors such as the
MDrive17 motors. As a result, professional panoramic photographers will
be able to focus more closely on the quality of their services with our
accurate control device, driving the market to new competitive highs. |
