What to be aware of when capturing and stitching images
Phase One´s versatile Flex Adaptor allows you to create high-
resolution, panoramic images by stitching two or tree images
t o g e t h e r. A straightforw a rd process you quickly learn to mas-
t e r.
The easy process of capturing and stitching images re q u i re s
a higher precession of the lens shutter and the lighting used
than just capturing single images. Even small variations in
the exposure from one image to another can be visible in the
final stitched image.
E x p o s u re changes due to strobe equipment
Older strobe packs and generator strobes may vary with up
to 1/3 f-stop from one strobe pop to another. This is due to
the fact that the capacitors may "leak" power and are there-
f o re not always fully charged when the strobe pops. Also,
most strobe systems are optimized for the so-called "Near
Daylight" light. However, the color temperature of the Near
Daylight light will change if the effect of the strobe system
changes. Modern strobe equipment charges the capacitors
m o re accurately and is there f o re more consistent.
E x p o s u re changes due to lens apert u re
The exposure may be affected if the lens' spring loaded aper-
t u re vary. Variations can be caused by common wear and

lenses, and some large format lenses are equipped with
