Welcome to iPIX®Imaging

Thank you for your purchase of an iPIX® Camera Kit featuring the Nikon

Coolpix digital camera. With your kit, you can shoot and build immersive

iPIX images in a matter of minutes. iPIX images enable you to “step

inside” an environment—exploring up, down, and all around. It is a solu-

tion that has proven valuable for many markets, including real estate,

travel, publishing, education, training, and journalism.

This book describes the steps to set up your equipment, establish settings

on your camera to optimize it for iPIX photography, and download your

images to your computer.

Two of the most important camera kit components are the fisheye lens and

rotator. The fisheye lens attaches to your camera and broadens the field of

view (FOV) of your camera’s fixed lens. The rotator lets you turn your

camera exactly 180°—capturing one 180°picture, or “hemisphere.” Two

hemispheres are used to create an iPIX image.

The Fisheye Lens

attaches to the

camera’s fixed lens.

The fisheye lens and rotator attach to the camera. The rotators are customized for each

camera model.

The Rotator attaches

to the camera base

and the tripod.
