Better Light Digital Camera Panoramic Camera System User Manual

THE WORLD'S ONLY  
4X5 PANORAMIC  
CAMERA SYSTEM  
The Pano/WideViewAdapter when  
used with the Better Light 4"x5" scanning back can  
create panoramic, rollout and QTVR images. This  
system can capture seamless 360 degree digital  
panoramic scans and wide-view images of  
adjustable aspect ratio, with wide or long lenses,  
up to 8,000 x 65,000 pixels — the largest digital  
panoramic images currently possible.  
Now, the same Better Light scan back can be used for standard image plane scans as well as for panoramic, rollout, 3D  
objects or QuickTime VR imaging. The new Pano/WideView™ Adapter operates with any Better Light digital scanning back  
(after a user-installed firmware update) and a 4x5 inch view camera or medium format adapter. A laptop computer and  
portability option (rechargeable battery and carrying case) makes the camera suitable for any studio, location, or field  
photography assignment.  
The Better Light digital back captures pure Red, Green and Blue information for each pixel in resolution settings up to  
8000 pixels in height. The resulting images can be well over 1GB and provide amazing detail and tone range that could  
never be captured with film.  
When used in the Pano/WideView mode, the tri-linear CCD of the Better Light scanning inserts is moved to the center of  
the image plane and remains stationary during the scan. The drive function is diverted to a custom precision turntable  
under the camera or under the object. The system is easy to use: the photographer simply enters the focal length of the  
lens to determine the drive ratio. This focal length setting calculates micro-changes to the motor drive system to keep the  
pixels square and determine the number of lines per degree of rotation.  
To keep the pixels perfectly square, and the image undistorted, Better Light uses a unique scaleable aspect ratio that is  
controlled by the photographer's choice of lens focal length. Other digital systems often use one fixed scan size and then  
interpolate the image to fit the focal length being used. The Better Light Pano/WideView uses a continuously variable  
drive system to capture true pixel data at any focal length, with absolutely no interpolation.  
The Pano/WideView Adapter is a high-quality turntable motor with no backlash, is suitable for heavy view cameras, and  
resists shaking due to wind. The hardware includes a precision motor-driven rotary base with 3/8-in. tripod socket on the  
bottom, a quick-release camera mount on top of the base, 3/8-in. and 1/4-in. screws for the  
camera, and a motor drive cable to connect the insert to motor base.  
4-inch precision motor base; 50-lb. load capacity  
6-inch precision motor base; 150-lb. load capacity  
Object platforms in varied sizes are available to attach to the motor  
$4,990  
$5,990  
base for QuickTime object rotations and rollouts of 3D cylindrical subjects.
