With rotation and with shifting the lens: 

In order to exploit the full potential of the TS-E lenses, in addition to rotation using 
the 

TS-E  Panorama  Head

,  the  displacement  of  the  lens  can  also  be  used 

simultaneously. Only the shift in the vertical direction makes sense (up or down). 

Also possible are panoramas with several "rows", i.e. several images with different 
angles of rotation while the lens is shifted in one direction; then a second row with 
the same angles of rotation but different shift.  

Note: 

The composition of these rotated 

and

 shifted images requires a professional 

panorama software (for example PTGui). This must be able to work with differently 
shifted single pictures.  (in PTGui  under "Lens Settings" 

→

  option "Use individual 

Parameters for:" 

→

 checkmark for "Shift" for each image)
