Switch
Camera
Switches the live image preview on the touchscreen between the FLIR
Tau 2 640 and the Panasonic Lumix camera.
Adjust
Horizon
Occasionally the neutral position of the gimbal's servo motors might
need to be re-adjusted. Use this command to adjust the horizon (roll
angle) while flying. If the system is still on the ground and the motors
are not running this can also be done in both axes (roll and tilt) with the
control sticks, see “Adjusting the camera horizon” on page 37.
Roll
Comp.
On/Off
Default = ON. When Roll Comp. = Off, the gimbal will no longer
compensate roll movements of the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV. This can be
useful when doing dynamic video flights.
Notes Shooting parameters need to be set directly on the camera before take-off.
