Shooting Panoramas (continued)

How do I begin?

stairstepping of images as you progress around the panorama. Stairstepping has nothing to do with the state of the entire head being level with respect to the horizon.This can be corrected by rotating all the images a slight amount in your authoring program.

You can also shim the camera/head to compensate for such misalignment errors as well.A few layers of tape is usually all that it takes. Let me also reiterate what's not as important as some people think.

The overall level of the head/camera is not as critical in order to produce good stitched results.As long as the camera is not tilted or rotated and as long as the camera is positioned so that the optical axis is parallel to the rotation plane, you can tilt or position the entire head so that it's not level to the horizon and it won't affect the image.

Now, it might produce a panorama that is tilted with respect to the horizon but that might be an artistic choice or something you want to do on purpose.

As long as the optical axis is parallel to the

rotation plane and the camera/CCD is not rotated, slight variations in level as the head rotates is generally not a problem.

As you shoot around the circle, try to avoid capturing any moving objects that might come into your fi eld of view.There is no harm in waiting, for example, while a person walks past before shooting the photo.

You may also want to check with the software developer of the stitching software that you’re using to get their recommendations for exposure settings and other camera settings.

We hope you enjoy shooting your panoramas and if you have any questions or problems using our equipment, please let

us know.
