-== Camera Memory ==
+=== Camera Memory ===
 Long gone are the days with the 1 meg memory card that came with my first digital camera. Heck, the 64 meg card that came with my last Nikon is now next to useless! I find myself with a collection of cards, from 512 meg up to 1 gig, and I'm looking at the 2 gig cards.  With my Coolpix 8700 in Raw mode, the 1 gig card holds around 65 photos!  So plan accordingly. You also need to consider memory card speed. A slow card can take several seconds to save a high quality image, compared to a higher speed card taking under a second.  Just remember: faster card = higher cost.  For situations where you can afford to wait while an image saves, save 25% and get a slower card. But if you need faster save times, you'll be happier with the faster speed cards. Also see Personal Storage Devices at the bottom of this page. <small>--[[User:Add360.com|Add360.com]] 03:10, 7 Nov 2005 (EST)</small>

 When combining multiple images, it is critical that each image be captured from the same point of view.  This [[No-parallax-point|optical center]] of the lens is commonly called the nodal point, although it is more correctly referred to as the entrance pupil or no-parallax-point.  The no-parallax-point is usually located inside the lens; in the wide angle lenses used for panoramic imaging, the entrance pupil tends to be near the front of the lens.

 == Stitching Adapters ==
 With lenses that produce a large image circle, it is possible to capture a number of DSLR frames for stitching into a large panorama.  Typical lenses that can be used for this purpose come from Medium Format, and Large Format (4x5) camera systems.  A stitching adapter is typically used on a Large Format camera to provide precise XY positioning of the DSLR camera, so that all the image tiles are taken in the plane of focus.
-In this type of system, since the capture device (DSLR Camera) is moved, but the lens is not; there is no requirement for determining the lens nodal point.  However the panorama must be stitched as an orthographic projection.
