Photostitch Canon 20D / 10-22

[DavidThomson]

Hi

I just acquired a 20D with a 10-22 after using a D60 with a 20-35 very successfully. I am somewhat puzzled why when I tried to stitch images shot with the D20 and the 10-22 the browser came up with a " images shot on to wide a focal length lens please delete and try again"

OK I am aware that there is no such thing as a 10mm lens but it replicates a 16mm is there a way to overcome this in photostich.

Any ideas


Cheers

DT

Note: Changed D20 to 20D :) (RFMSports)

Guessing here - maybe you didn't have enough image overlap when you shot the images? I've used Photostich with a 20mm Nikkor which the cam can't save lens exif for, & everything came out great so I don't see where the exif would be necessary for processing.

PhotoStitch will "auto acquire" camera focal settings from the image EXIF. It can only handle lenses from 20mm and up. Strip out the EXIF of the image or do a Save As in photoshop and do not preserve the camera details on the save dialog.

When you then open in PhotoStich, it will ask you for the focal length, remember that the smallest it can accept is 20mm so use that. The stitch WILL NOT come out that well because of the actual lens you used so take the resulting image and use Transform in PS to change the perspective.

Alternatively, get hold of PanoTools.

Better yet use autostitch http://www.autostitch.net.
