Inputs

Portrait FOV = 2×arctan(24/(2×35)) = 37.8°. Effective = 37.8×0.7 = 26.5°. Shots = ceil(180/26.5) = 7. Rounded up with margin: 9.
Inputs
Result
Portrait FOV = 2×arctan(24/(2×50)) = 27°. Effective = 18.9°. Shots per row = ceil(360/18.9) = 20. Total = 20×2 = 40 shots.
Depends on focal length, overlap, and total angle. A 180° pano with 35mm lens (portrait) at 30% overlap: about 9 shots. With 50mm: about 13 shots. Use portrait orientation for taller coverage per row.
| Focal Length | 180° (30% overlap) | 360° (30% overlap) | Shots (portrait) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24mm | 5 shots | 10 shots | Portrait: 7/14 |
| 35mm | 7 shots | 13 shots | Portrait: 9/18 |
| 50mm | 9 shots | 18 shots | Portrait: 13/25 |
| 100mm | 18 shots | 36 shots | Portrait: 25/50 |
25-35% is standard for most stitching software. Less than 20% may cause stitching failures. 40-50% is safer for complex scenes (moving water, crowds). More overlap = larger final file.
Portrait orientation is usually better. It gives more vertical coverage per row, resulting in a taller final image. The trade-off is more shots needed. For a single row, portrait captures more sky and foreground.
Multiply your camera resolution by the effective number of non-overlapping shots. A 24MP camera with 9 shots at 30% overlap: ~24 × (9×0.7) = 151 MP. Final TIFF can be 500MB-2GB.
