Peripheral illumination correction, on or off for panos? - 02-01-2012, 03:15 PM


I was reading an article about creating panoramas, and the author advised one to turn off ALL automatic features. Then went on to say he'd go as far as to disable even the peripheral illumination correction. This is puzzling, however, having never used that correction feature, Im unaware of any bugs with it. I just connected my 7D to the PC with DPP running and updated it to support peripheral illumination correction with all the lenses I have. Just thought I'd ask if there's a legitimate reason NOT to use such a seemingly panorama-friendly feature. In all my years, I never utilized that feature with people photography because I usually add a tad bit of vignette, anyway. I like to shoot wide-open and get that natural light fall-off. However, with shooting panos, I'll be shooting at f/11 - f/16. Even at those apertures, there's just enough light fall-off to notice when I'm stitching images.

Hmm, not sure why unless he is worried it will compensate differently in each. Seems like on would be best though, since your overlap should be 30% or so, and you wouldn't want a dark corner in one in the middle of the other.

Hmm, I never thought the amount of correction would be different for each image. It's possible, I suppose. I'll experiment tonight when I get home.
