4.9 … create spherical QTVR panoramas (continued)
To obtain the best possible results a number of software and hardware adjustments are
required.
4.9.1 Software adjustments
Load the lens calibration file into your Seitz Roundshot D3 software. Please note
that you will need to reload your lens-specific calibration file if you overwrite your
program folder (ie through software update) or when installing the software on
another computer.
Add the calibrated fisheye lens to your favourite lens list and select the lens in the
software (shoot settings):
C:\Program Files\Seitz\Digital3\PDS\calibration
Please note that for all lenses that can be
calibrated there are two versions, for example for
the 24mm Mamiya 645 fisheye lens:
• 24mm Sekor C Calibrated
•
24mm Sekor C
* The spherical QTVR panoramas must be converted from dng into RGB (TIFF, JPEG) in the Seitz Roundshot D3
software or in the Seitz raw converter.
Select the calibrated lens in the “shoot settings”
box in the “shoot” menu.
The focusing distance will now automatically be
set to 7m and can be changed only to 2m. This is
necessary for optimum sharpness results.
When selecting the calibrated lens the lens-specific mapping function is loaded
and applied when converting the dng file into RGB*.
