 * '''Use optimum aperture'''
-Usually one try to reach the maximum [[depth of Field | depth of field]] at the best image quality in the panorama to prevent differently focused areas. This results in using a specific aperture depending on the used lens, but generally starting from f/8, f/11. The better the quality of your lens the smaller the aperture (the larger the [[f-number]]) can be set.

 * '''Rotate camera around non-parallax point'''
-The [[no-parallax point]] inside your lense is where you see the aperture when you look into the camera lense. Rotating the camera around this point avoids parallax error. Correcting this error is outside the scope of stitching software (although the software can fudge to make the effects less visible).

 * '''Use fixed aperture'''
-Vignetting correcting varies slightly with aperture, so one vignetting correction setting can be used. And if your lense contains dust spots (it happens), one needs only one dustmap or flatfield for dust removal. If your camera is dust-prone, take a photo of clear sky - this can be processed into a flatfield.
