About this guide
We would like to thank you for purchasing this product and hope you enjoy it!
In the following, we would like to give you some hints on the use of the Rear Tilt 'n'
Shift Frame and the TS-E Panorama Head and show you which types of panoramas
are feasible. In some places we give general tips and hints for stitching the pictures
and what you have to consider for panoramas with shifted pictures. Our software
recommendation: PTGui (for all types of panoramas) or Lightroom / Photoshop (for
panoramas without combination of shift and rotation).
Should it ever come to a complaint, do not hesitate to contact us. We will do our
best to solve the problem to your satisfaction. The contact details can be found at
the end of this manual.
