Troubleshooting
6.4 My panoramas are distorted or misaligned
There could be several causes for distorted or misaligned panoramas:
1. Check your setup for errors.
a. Go through the Set-up steps in Chapter 2.
Note: Remember that you must repeat this every time you change the camera you’re using.
b. Make sure that your camera is tightly mounted on the EPIC unit.
c. Make sure that the EPIC is rmly mounted on your tripod.
d. Make sure that your tripod is on steady ground.
e. Make sure that nothing disturbs the EPIC while it’s taking photographs.
2. Make adjustments for vertical or horizontal lines in your panorama.
GigaPan Stitch software aligns the larger elements of photos, and thus might ignore
vertical or horizontal lines such as poles and window frames.
a. Try to avoid taking panoramas with too many vertical lines in the foreground.
b. Try using a third-party tool to stitch your panorama.
3. Check and adjust the platform’s forward-back position.
If you’re taking macro panoramas (that is, really close to the subject), you’ll need to adjust the
position of the platform, so that the EPIC rotates your camera about its “nodal point).
a. Turn to Chapter 2.8: Finding your camera’s nodal point. Note: This is a time-consuming
process, and should only be used when necessary. However, it may be necessary for panoramas
that have subjects that are both close and far away, and macro panoramas.
6.5 My computer freezes while GigaPan Stitch software
is working
GigaPan Stitch software needs a lot of processing power to stitch panoramas, and will use up
nearly 100 percent of your CPU, leaving little for other programs. In addition, larger panoramas
need more power, and take more time. So while it might appear that your computer is frozen, it’s
just the stitching software working hard. Ideally, you should avoid work ing on your computer
while the stitching software is running.
To monitor the stitching software in Windows, turn on the Task Manager ([Ctrl] + [Shift] +
[Esc]). If the stitching software reports “Not Responding” , use the ‘report a bug’ feature
under the ‘help’ tab of the stitching software or contact tech support via GigaPanSystems.
com.
On the Mac, you can monitor the stitching software using the Activity Monitor (‘Applica-
tions’ > ‘Utilities ‘> ‘Activity Monitor)’. If the stitching software reports “Not Responding” ,
use the ‘report a bug’ feature under the ‘help’ tab of the stitching software or contact tech
support via GigaPanSystems.com.
