2.5.2 Optimise sharpness (continued)
Close the aperture again to f=11 or f=16 with the f-stop lever.
Create another scan at highest resolution (1x1) and zoom
again on the image to check the sharpness.
The image is now sharp.
As a last step open the “Distance” drop-down list and
select the approximate focusing distance. The software
will adjust the image format (the length of the panorama)
in the software.
It is not possible to obtain maximum sharpness from 1m to infinity.
However, with closing the aperture to f=11 or f=16 a good depth of field
can be achieved. Choose a focusing point which lies before infinity
(hyperfocal distance). This way you benefit from a maximum depth of
field.
When focusing closer (rather than focusing at infinity) the effective focal
length of the lens becomes longer, so the image will be longer (more
stretched) horizontally. This adjustment is important to enhance
sharpness further.
