Better Light 7 Manuel D’Utilisation

It is now possible to make time lapse sequences. Check the Time Lapse checkbox, then fill in the 

time in seconds between images and the total number of images to make. When the Scan button is 
clicked, the time lapse sequence will start. The first image will be captured, then ViewFinder will wait 
the specifed number of seconds, then capture the next image in the sequence. This sequence will con-
tinue until all the requested number of images have been captured.

This is best used with Auto Naming to give each file in the sequence its own, unique name. If 

Auto Naming is not used, each image in the sequence will have the same name, making it difficult to 
differentiate between images and possibly requiring renaming the image files when they are retrieved. 
When the time sequence completes, the Time Lapse feature will turn off.

Checking the Rotate with Image option sets the crop region to rotate with the preview image 

when the insert direction is changed. If this option is not checked, the vertical and horizontal dimen-
sions of the crop region do not change when the insert direction is changed.

Checking the Enable Pano Mode checkbox will allow 

ViewFinder™ to make panoramic images, if the Better Light 
Pano/WideView™ adapter is installed. When this option is 
checked, the Panorama tool button becomes visible on the 
ViewFinder™ toolbar and the Pano tab panel on the main 
window will be enabled, when the Pano Preferences window is 
closed. 

The type of panoramic motor is selected from the buttons 

in the Motor Settings section. The small turntable is the default 
selection.

The Calibrate button is used to adjust the number of steps 

per degree rotation for the motor. Normally, it is not necessary to 
use this feature, the factory settings are adequate.

Clicking on the Custom Settings button activates the editing 

fields at the bottom of the window. These settings should not be changed without contacting Better 
Light.
