Nodal P oint This is one of the most frequentl y ask ed questions when it comes to stitcher -based panorama creation.

Nodal P oint (contin ued) Step 2: Fore-Aft Adjustment This step is most easily accomplished out of doors. Find a vertical edge or line, such as a doorwa y or edge of a building. Position y our camera and tripod about 2-1/2 feet a wa y , or as close as possible with the edge still in focus when y ou look through the viewfinder .
Nodal P oint (contin ued) comes to the For e-Aft adjustment, you w on’ t be able to look through the viewfinder to determine the pr oper setting since the viewfinder is a separate optical path that doesn’ t reall y “see” the same image as the film.
Shooting Panoramas How much Ov erlap? The amount you turn the camera f or each shot varies. It is dependent on a number of factors such as the field of view (the angle) of your camera and lens, as well as which pr ogram you intend to use.
Shooting Panoramas (contin ued) How do I begin? stairstepping of images as you pr ogress ar ound the panorama. Stairstepping has nothing to do with the state of the entire head being lev el with respect to the horizon. This can be corr ected by rotating all the images a slight amount in your authoring pr ogram.
