papywizzard documentation... Mosaic vs. Preset mode
Hi all,
on papywizzard doc is stated:
Papywizard has now 2 modes: Mosaic mode, and Preset mode. The first one is mainly used for partial panos, and is especially designed for hi-res panos, using a large tele-lens. The second one is designed for full-spherical panos, using a wide-lens or a fisheye.
what is, if I want to take an non-partial panos with large tele-lens?
which mode is to prefer?
So, I think about:
Canon EOS 400D
Canon Zoom Lens Ultrasonic FF 70-210mm 1:3.5-4.5 (multiplier about 1.6 I think)
pano: 360x160/170/180 (I know 210mm hits the merlin with the standard L-bracket (TA)....so 180 not possible...)
thanks in advance,
Liebe Gruesse,
Georg

Preset mode with your own custom preset.

Using a preset mode will allow you to optimize the number of images neeed, especially close to the zenith/nadir. With the mosaic mode, you will have far to much pictures there.

"non-partial panos" . . . what does that mean? A sphere?
Using the 70mm setting of your zoom and also using bracketing would mean some hundred shots i guess - even if you generate a preset-file . . . .
Regarding you can present a sphere only via a browser - why THAT much resolution?
10000x5000px really is enough - for high-rez spheres to show with KR multirez viewer maybe more for zooming in.
But using 180 or even 210mm would mean a dramatical overkill in resolution - and wold be hardly presentable as an interactive panorama.
best, Klaus
