5.1 My photos are blurry

There could be several causes for blurry photos:
The moving platform might not have “settled“ before the picture is taken. 1.
a. To get around this, turn on your camera’s self-timer function and set it to 2 seconds.
(Several cameras have a 2-sec self-timer built in).
The button-pusher might not be holding down the camera button long enough. 2.
a. Navigate to ‘Options’ > ‘Expert Options’ > ‘Button Hold’ in the EPIC Menu.
b. Use the directional keys to increase the time that the button-pusher will hold the
camera button down.
The platform might be moving before your camera has taken and stored the picture. 3.
a. Navigate to ‘Options’ > ‘Time Per Pic ‘in the EPIC Menu.
b. Use the directional keys to increase the time that the EPIC will wait before moving.
This is especially useful for night-time panoramas.
5.2 My camera is missing pictures
There are two reasons for your camera to miss pictures:
The EPIC’s platform is moving faster than your camera can take pictures. 1.
a. Navigate to ‘Options’ > ‘Time Per Pic’ in the EPIC Menu.
b. Use the directional keys to increase the time that the EPIC will wait before moving.
The button-pusher isn’t pushing your camera’s button down long enough. 2.
a. Navigate to ‘Options’ > ‘Expert Options’ > ‘Button Hold’ in the EPIC Menu.
b. Use the directional keys to increase the time that the button-pusher will hold the
camera button down.

‘Checklist’ and use the directional keys to turn the checklist on or off.
