To achieve a correct exposure for the dark areas we have two possibilities either we
decrement the number of images or the EV-step size.
Second calculation
For the second shutter speeds calculation we use the following input parameters: dia-
phragm = 8, shutter speed = 1/500”, number of images = 5 and EV-step size = 1 1/3.
The result for the shutter speed for the dark areas is 1/13”. This exposure is just 1/3 f-
stop overexposed - it is perfect.
For a high panorama dynamic range I would prefer to calculate the shutter speed val-
ues with more images per camera position.
The Panorama Calculator provides the following parameter values:
The Bracketing Calculator supports the following shutter speeds:
- Shutter speeds in ½ EV steps:
30” /20” / 15” / 10” / 8” / 6” / 4” / 3“ / 2” / 1.5” / 1“ / 0.7“ / 0.5” / 0.3” / ¼” / 1/6“ /
1/8” / 1/10” / 1/15” / 1/20” / 1/30” / 1/45“ / 1/60” / 1/90“ / 1/125” / 1/180“ / 1/250” /
1/350” / 1/500” / 1/750“ / 1/1000” / 1/1500” / 1/2000” / 1/3000“ / 1/4000“ /
