3.2.4 Camera parameters (continued)
When the final output format and media (print vs. web) are not yet final,
use the full image format (vertical / horizontal). On the other hand, if
the final output format and media are already final, it may be beneficial
to reduce the format, thus minimising the amount of data and reducing
the processing and saving time of the image.
The Roundshot D3 2500 (with Seitz D3 2500 digital scan back) uses the
same digital sensor like the full D3 version. It is always possible to
upgrade the smaller model to the full D3 version.
Blending 360°: activates automatic blending
of beginning and end of a 360° panorama.
Enter the desired overlap in degrees. For
example, when entering “40” the camera will
capture a 400° panorama. The output will be a
360° panorama.
Light frequency correction: Compensates
for indoor light frequencies (50Hz for Europe/
60Hz for US). With fluorescent lighting and
without correction the image will contain
darker and lighter vertical stripes at fast
scanning speeds
Environmental settings: Choose between
standard and cold condition. The cold
condition gives more power to the motor
avoiding it to block in a low-temperature
environment, but it consumes more battery
Mode of operation: Choose between the
default panorama mode and the turntable
mode. To use the turntable mode, a special
turntable bench is required. For more
information see section “How to... create
turntable scans”
Image cropping area: The image can be cropped vertically by indicating an upper
or lower limit (in pixels). For full resolution: 1 to 7‘500. The green area in the
rectangle shows the scan area
Light measurement area: defines the vertical area of the sensor used for light
measurement in automatic exposure modes
“Blending 360°” works only with an angle of exactly 360°.
When selecting any other angle the blending option will be set to “off ”.
