Re: Nikon D1 w/PTools

<x-flowed>I tried a fisheye on a D1, using PanoTools. I haven't given up yet,
but I after many, many, many variations and a lot of puzzling, hour
and hours of work... I still was never able to get a result I
expected. Even though my vertical field of view certainly was 180
degrees, the results were squashed -- I could never get the image to
fill the pano frame top to bottom.
On the D1, a fisheye image is 180 degrees the long way and about 120
degrees the narrow way. This does not match a unclipped circular
image OR a full frame image. NEITHER of those settings gave me what
I expected.
a Just as a guess, I'd say that both of those switches make
assumptions a the angle of view available in the image.
Any ideas Helmut?
